Is there a browser plugin enabling to swap out any parts of a website/app with own ones? With prompt/vibe-based input, so any user can customize websites in any imaginable way. Maybe it should.

It seems to be based on very common naive belief that things which are named same or similar in different domains are conceptually same, so "lets deduplicate" ? There can be rare moments when they really are, but then the moment p

Did you try to put all this (complex and external) context to the context (claude.md or whatever), with intructions how to do proper TDD, before asking for the tests? I know that may be more work than actual coding it as you know all it by

Some models do have US 2025 president election results explicitly given in system prompt. To fool all who use it for cutoff check.

My main takeaway here is that the models cannot tell know how they really work, and asking it from them is just returning whatever training dataset would suggest: how a human would explain it. So it does not have self-consciousness, which i

Well “building” is also troubleshooting, fixing a problem. Just in a bit more general level: ideally it is not fixing a “small” well-defined problem in software, but bigger and fuzzier problem in the real world: the thinking process and too
