The Chili Peppers long ago settled the ethics of coyote culling, but your attitude is cavalier and thoughtless. For those of us living in suburbs, young children running just a few steps ahead (e.g. from the house to the other end of the dr

For new-ish projects it should give you some crazy speed up out of the box. For large codebases (my own has 500k lines and my company has a few tens of millions) you need something better like RPI. If nothing else just being able to underst

It’s told to only use it if relevant because most people write bad ones. Someone should write a tool to assess CLAUDE.md quality.

Claude Code is better out of the box, so all that other stuff is orthogonal or optional. If you eg want to give your agent access to your company’s Notion docs you need a skill.

You should never let context get that high unless you’re doing really basic things. Somewhere 40-60% is generally the time to start thinking about exits for tougher tasks. Get out in the 60s.

I understand. My point is that the personas are generally not a good idea and that there are much simpler and more predictable ways of getting better results.

Getting feedback on a plan or implementation is valuable because you get a fresh set of eyes. Using multiple models may help though it always feels a bit silly to me (if nothing else you’re increasing non-determinism because you know have

Love the throwbacks. I wasted a few minutes earlier today trying to find the original website for the Cocoa class that Tristan helped set up a few years before this one got started.

If you're getting AI slop you're doing it wrong. You should be getting high quality code. Of course that's easier said than done, but AI slop is a sign that things have gone off the rails.

I’m curious how you think this compares to the Research -> Plan -> Implement method and prompts from the “Advanced Context Engineering from Agents” video when it comes to actual coding performance on large codebases. I think picking u

OP is one of the co-creators of Django (for which I am eternally grateful, having built my first company on top of it) and one of the most prolific writers in the space. I also happen to strongly agree with his assessment, though as he said

Really excited for this. I'm not sure if it supports ESC-ESC (and whether the SDK supports it) but I'm excited to try. If not, I hope Anthropic will add it soon since that's a key feature for fixing mistakes.

Could you say some more about your current solution? I've tried basically every tool out there (VNC, tmux, VibeTunnel, many Claude Code in the browser) solutions and haven't found one that works really well yet. Do you just VNC to

It doesn't seem like CA has a well publicized number you can call for advice (yet?) but you should call your hospital and ask them for guidance instead of going in. I'm currently traveling in Europe and that's been the MO her

Matt Levine is a national treasure and he's at his best here. The WeWork post below is hilarious too but my favorites are when he picks really obscure topics and makes them both understandable and funny while adding some subtle insight
