Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.

Summary
A fun experiment where Claude Code is instructed to act as a user space IP stack, reading IP packets byte by byte and processing them to respond to pings. The article explores the idea of treating Markdown as code and an LLM as the processor that executes that code, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI language models at a low networking level.
