The Tell

THE TELL

You were the best pickpocket in the city. Now your old crew is working Marigold Plaza, and the police have bought you a coffee and a seat on the café terrace. They can't tell you what the crew looks like. Only how they behave.

Watch the crowd. Find the one whose behavior gives them away. But don't stare too long: people notice.

I used Claude throughout as a mentor and a guide to keep me on track and assist me with following the steps so I do not get side tracked. I gave it my idea and what direction I wanted to take and stated that it needed to teach me and guide me through the creation process. It assisted me as a teacher that helped me learn and troubleshoot coding errors.
