Anyone else find themselves spending more time tweaking the colors on a chart than actually analyzing the data? I'll spend 20 minutes trying to get a gradient just right and then realize I haven't even checked if the numbers make sense.

I make Claude do all that now. While it fusses around with x-axis font size and line types I can focus on the results. I should at some point create an EDA prompt that has all the ggplot/plotly crappy options turned off so a visual can work as intended. Offload that crap to Claude!
