Brain still big. Mouth small.\n\n## Before / After\n\n\n\n\n\n### 🗣️ Normal Claude (69 tokens)\n\n> "The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I'd recommend using useMemo to memoize the object."\n\n\n\n\n###  Caveman Claude (19 tokens)\n\n> "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`."\n\n\n\n\n\n\n### 🗣️ Normal Claude\n\n> "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is most likely caused by your authentication middleware not properly validating the token expiry. Let me take a look and suggest a fix."\n\n\n\n\n###  Caveman Claude\n\n> "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use `\n\n\n\n**Same fix. 75% less word.
