Taking this to extreme degree — could wire up a GitHub/`claude` workflow that automatically generates pull request implementations of top-rated features (e.g. with branch previews hooked up so you can just try it and approve)

Note there is a CLAUDE.md file in the repo, so this was likely built at least in part with Claude Code.

Deep cut but he also open sourced Facepunch.Steamworks which turned Steam SDK / C# integration from brutal to delightful
