Pike - Solving the "should we stop here or gamble on the next exit" problem
Summary
Pike shows how to fix exit-selection problems by using a data-driven approach rather than heuristics. It documents five iterations, culminating in pre-computed driving times for exits and POIs using OSM/OSRM, with notes on using Claude to spin up cloud infrastructure. The piece also highlights practical lessons about data quality and model design for map-based apps.
