Creating a Masterpiece with Claude Code

I decided to see how far I could launch the worst interview question in the world, fibonacci, with Claude riding shotgun. There was no script this time, just me and a dumb prompt, and I loved how it came out. Gemini reviewed the result and called it a masterclass, which still makes me grin.

The other day I decided to see how far I could launch the worst programming interview question: fibonacci. You give me Claude, I’ll give you more fibonacci than you can handle.

The code is here: https://github.com/robconery/fib-with-claude

There’s no script with this one, but I LOVE the way it came out. Just me, a dumb interview question, and having my mind blown yet again with Claude. I learned something, and I built something that Gemini labeled “a masterclass”:

This submission is an exemplary piece of exploratory engineering. It moves far beyond the "standard" Fibonacci implementation, treating the sequence as a lens through which to demonstrate architectural discipline, mathematical curiosity, and high-end visual craft.

Instead of a monolithic script, the candidate delivered a modular library that balances theoretical rigor with pragmatic software design…

This is more than a solution to a problem; it is a demonstration of how a senior engineer approaches discovery. It prioritizes readability, honors the underlying mathematics, and applies robust architectural patterns to a simple domain.

Recommendation: Hire. This level of discipline and curiosity is rare.

I hope you enjoy the video!
