Quotable Quotes (Should you choose to share):

"Hardware is always gonna do a better job than software. That's why everything in my studio is hardware routed." - Brandt Krueger

"I had my own personal Claude $20 a month plan and was loving that. I quit it because I was like, oh we've got this enterprise ChatGPT. And like a week later, I reupped my Claude plan. I was like no, not for my daily driver." - Brandt Krueger

"My journey into Claude was primarily driven by the desire to find a better technology to try to improve my OpenClaw setup." - Will Curran

"Claude doesn't have any native image generation but honestly, the interface is fantastic. I get better answers." - Will Curran
