	tl;dr: After losing his phone at the office with Find My disabled by MDM, the author asked Claude for help and it suggested measuring Bluetooth signal strength. Claude generated a working RSSI meter in about a minute, which he used to walk around and locate the phone. Code is posted at github.com/ben-z/findphone.
	HN Discussion: ↑Sharing similar personal anecdotes of using LLMs to creatively solve unexpected problems ↑LLMs are making many existing apps and tools obsolete or pointless ↓The solution was unnecessary since ready-made apps already exist and could be found via search ~LLM-generated code produces messy/spaghetti results despite impressive functionality ↓This isn't novel; people were doing similar things decades ago and LLMs just recycle human knowledge
