I don’t blame you. I blame the [hype around LLMs](https://forum.systemcrafters.net/t/hype-value-and-how-to-tell-the-difference/879). Thing is, the code seems a bit reasonable, getting `:title` and other properties, right? But then you notice that it uses `let*`, even though none of the bindings need to be in sequence. Then you remember that `(when expr expr)` is `(and expr expr)`. Not a big difference, but more idiomatic if you don’t need a `(progn)`.
