- The user's computer became unresponsive and hot due to a fork bomb caused by a SessionStart hook that spawned exponential Claude Code instances.
- A near financial disaster was averted when high memory usage from bloated code forced the computer to lock up, preventing excessive API billing beyond $600.
- Motivated by spite and ADHD hyperfocus, the user built several Claude Code skills to manage workflows, including tools for logging, OCR, task prioritization, and project state management.
