I've also installed Claude Code and checked if the new files were read by the
AI and it looks good. It just works out of the box. I've also tested with a few
TODOs I had pending to solve from these series [1] and with a few iterations it
managed to be successful and very useful [2]. Looking forward to wipe out my
kdevops backlog with this Generative AI.
