	HN Discussion: ↑Similar success stories reverse-engineering proprietary drivers/hardware using Claude and tools like Wireshark ↓Headline is misleading since Claude didn't write a driver, just bridged HP's Linux driver in a VM ↓LLM wasted effort reinventing existing solutions instead of using known Linux-AirPrint projects ~Despite the hacky approach, the pragmatic result of working printing justifies the effort •Claude's overly friendly conversational tone feels off-putting or creepy
