Hi, this was my test! The plan-mode prompt has been largely unchanged since the 3.x series models and now 4.x get models are able to be successful with far less direction. My hypothesis was that shortening the plan would decrease rate-limit

(It's worth reading the gh comment I linked if you're interested in terminals!) tl;dr other programs like Neovim and Codex use the "alternate screen buffer" which means they don't use scrollback and reimplement thei

Most people's mental model of CC is that "it's just a TUI" but it should really be closer to "a small game engine". For each frame our pipeline constructs a scene graph with React -> layout elements -> ra

I believe the CC editor extensions and Zed's ACP both use the Claude Agent SDK.

How tall is your tmux pane? If it's very small it might still flicker as CC tries to redraw scrollback. I've noticed several tmux users have layouts where they stack several panes on top of each other making each one quite short.

The communication is definitely on me! There honestly wasn't much new to say -I've been slowly ramping since early Jan just to be extra sure there's no regressions. The main two perf. issues were: 1. Since we no longer have

Hi! I work on TUI rendering for Claude Code. I know this has been a long-standing frustration — it's taken longer than any of us wanted. The good news: we shipped our differential renderer to everyone today. We rewrote our rendering sy

MCPs goal is to standardize the transfer of application context and tool definitions to a client (let’s ignore prompts for the moment). That’s the same goal as Hypertext. In HTML, context is <p>, <img/> etc. and “tools” are

MCP strikes me as roughly equivalent to HTML. Headline features like dynamic “tool” discovery (and more!) are solved well with HTML. MCP is probably easier for clients to implement but suffers from poor standardization, immaturity and non-h

I have a very similar setup but with HLedger[1]. A "do-nothing"[2] script helps me download statements by opening bank websites, waits for manual import and finally checks balances. That makes it a lot less repetitive and error pr

If they drove profits to zero by distributing it to their members, wouldn't that incur income tax?

The other benefit of codegen in situations like this (a company wide schema) is the potential for multi language bindings. Entgo demonstrates this by bridging a Go ORM, SQL migrations and a GraphQl schema. Interesting reading along the same

I hadn't thought of personal learning as a multi-armed bandit problem before! Thank you.

I've found being "fun for programmers" to be undervalued. Using Ledger is fun, which has caused me to spend more time thinking and understanding my personal finances which have in turn improve my personal finances. I haven&#x

By that reasoning (which I mostly agree with) making it cheaper to build great experiences is a good thing to do.

The biggest shift in my mental model of React was considering it closer to a programming language than traditional UI libraries. Dan hints at this when describing how it is used to manipulate view trees and proposing special syntax for hook

I highly recommend Beancount and Ledger-likes[0] too. Mint-style net-worth trackers have limited usefulness. Once you have visibility into your assets, you'll likely want to take more active management of them. Modelling that with spre

Same as what other commenters have suggested, both runtime and compile time checks are useful. We'd like to consolidate around Flow (our docs specify flow types) but just haven't gotten around to adding/vetting that Babel plu

Thanks! It's been a big group effort. We've put a lot of work into them (with much more to come) and they've massively helped Gestalt's adoption in both the eng. and design orgs.

Not currently, though this is a question that gets asked a lot. One of the benefits of Gestalt is that all styling is statically resolvable. This means that all it's CSS can be built to one small file or inline styles. We get a bunch o

If they wanted to get more extreme, they could take the initial filing fee as a deposit and only refund it with successful applications. That would help prevent the persistent applications and incentivize the USPTO to reject more. In the ey

I’ve used Ohm for a few small parsers. What’s great about the editor is that you can take it and share it with somebody else and they’re given insights into _how_ the parser works.

I'd be very curious to hear about the OPs specific experience with Flow. I've found the opposite to be true of Flow vs Typescript with the added benefit that Flow is easy to integrate into an existing codebase.
