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 hypot…

(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 …

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 …

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 …

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 pe…

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 …

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, …

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…

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…

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

What is something that you think the average HN user would find useful/surprising about Life? How could it apply to their daily lives?

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 migrati…

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

If anybody is interested in reading more about Henry George and a land-value tax, Radical Markets[1] has an in-depth chapter on it. [1]: http://radicalmarkets.com

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 …

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

From https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2755844 > g Likert has never done; engages a higher level of thoughtfulness; attenuates extremism to expose deeper insight;…

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…

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 m…

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 g…

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 bui…

I (alongside some very talented people) work on this. AMA!
