It is wild that Anthropic decided to go with “Claude”, as in “Claude Shannon”, as in the guy who formally proved that information degrades every time it passes through a channel that can’t represent it in a mathematically reversible way.

If you can’t theoretically produce the original code, given the “refactored” code… congratulations, you have lost information.
