Briefing
Lasser refined the specification with Claude until it had no more questions, then asked for code. He never read it; all debugging went through descriptions of what the clock did. To split the work, he had one Claude session write an interface document and passed Word documents between it and a second session.
The project page publishes the specification, the source and the hardware test code, with photos and a video of the finished clock. Brightness varied a lot between IV-25 tubes bought on eBay, so he switched to plug-compatible IVLM1-1/7 tubes.
