    IMO, a more logical approach is to let your thoughts flow and simply observe them instead of trying to control them (that never worked for me.)

    Sorry, the text is too vague - what are they building exactly, another tmux? P.S. That custom disappearing scrollbar doesn't look super logical; it doesn't even look logical, tbh.

    Do you understand every line of code written by everyone else on your team? I doubt it. But if you ever need to work with their code, that's when you might need to understand it. S…

    I think a wiser approach for crossing a border might be to have another phone with regular Android installed on it, so it doesn't look suspicious, and then connect remotely to your…

    Yeah, I agree, it's really stupid. It's like discussing whether contributors are allowed to use google search, stackoverflow, an encyclopedia, etc.

    Claude Code gives you more control - you can disable auto-memory temporarily (nothing will be deleted), then enable it back; or you can setup a directory where auto-memory is disab…

    I watched 8 minutes and feel like my time was wasted. Thank you. Yeah, we always knew how to build reliable software, but it's expensive.
