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…

Yeah I started in 98 or so and stopped in 2009. I should check back in.

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…

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 …

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 el…

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…

Me: “This link can’t possibly be about what I think it might be about.” Me, seconds later: “Yes it is!!”

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 th…

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 co…

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 hap…

This is exactly right.

“70% of tests pass. This codebase is ready for production!”

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 …

You’re absolutely right! - Opus (and Sonnet)

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 …

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 t…

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 un…
