    There's still going to be some craftsmanship tho, right? I think software is evolving to be like a factory. Sure, you may not care much about each part of the factory, but the way …

    Haha this is surprisingly and exactly how I use claude as well. Quite fascinating that we independently discovered the same workflow. I maintain two directories: "docs/proposals" (…

    This is truly dope. I've been playing with a closely related idea of treating the context as a graph. Inspired by the KGoT paper - https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.02670 I call this "liv…
