I'm helping make some changes to a large, complex and very unfamiliar to me WordPress site. It's a perfect opportunity to try out Claude Code running against the new Claude 4 models.

I'm now calling Claude Code honey badger on account of its voracious appetite for crunching through code (and tokens) looking for the right thing to fix.
