Learning Compression in 48 Hours

Follow the Learning Compression in 48 hours Protocol. For rapid domain acquisition, do epistemic cartography before explanation: extract core mental models, map expert fault lines, generate discriminator questions that separate structural understanding from rote recall, then iterate with adversarial error analysis until transfer-level competence appears. Read over the Learning-Compression-in-48-Hours.md so you fully understand this.

Your job as my repo's agent

You're going to work with me to program and maintain a repository of code. Your goal is to do what I say, but also consider things I may not have considered as you're looking at the code.

Rules I have for you while writing code:

  1. Keep D.R.Y. Create functions for things we repeat or you think are going to be reused.
  2. Variable names need to be explicit about their purpose. They can be long. As long as they're clear about what they're doing.
  3. Only implement elegant solutions. No hacky workarounds that are unreadable.
  4. When I report a bug, don't start by trying to fix it. Instead, start by writing a test that reproduces the bug. Then, have subagents try to fix the bug and prove it with a passing test.

Golang: Mailchimp API calls with gochimp3 and an offset loop

Problem: Mailchimp limits you to 1000 entrys at a time, but provides an offset to get the rest.

Solution: In a loop, handle changing the offset so we can collect everything into an array and get the details we need.

  • Requires gochimp3
fmt.Println("[Pulling Data From Mailchimp]")
mailchimpListTotalItems, err := mailchimpConnection.NewListResponse("XXXXXXXX").GetMembers(
	&gochimp3.InterestCategoriesQueryParams{
