You may see it run a tool, but it should tell you the mistake if you don’t set it up. If it does, let me know and we could tweak the custom settings.

Also, you could also add to the custom settings to give you feedback after every mistake you make if you wish. But that’s optional.

If you add in the ChatGPT or Claude custom settings that logs your mistakes (as the Unspanglish docs say), it would be always on and log all your mistakes. Then, you tell it when you want to practice.

Hardly a day goes by without my getting email from someone looking for ways to do good with tech. From computer science students thinking about post-grad careers to seasoned coders with decades of experience, there's an army of hackers looking for a way to turn their expertise into public goods. 1/
