Just vibe-coded a really useful tool that completed a task I've been dreading for months. I exported all my google calendar invites, put the data out as a list of emails, names, and tags to add to my contacts. Used @anthropic.com - better than the day I learned "view source" in the 1990s

New California law allows you to more than double housing whenever you’ve got existing multifamily dwellings. Up to eight detached ADUs and some interior conversions. Outstanding. Check the YouTube channel for long video about 12 new laws that make it easier to build homes in California in 2025.

If you want to learn more about missing middle housing, I am obsessed — and I have a YouTube channel all about ADUs. This week, I wandered around my town looking for unpermitted garage conversions and I struck gold. This homeowner was very excited to learn about the new laws for amnesty ADUs
