Not cherry-picking, I quoted the entire first paragraph of the section titled "Definition and purpose." > LLMs will can not and will not ever do these things Once again, I am not c…

Are we reading the same Wikipedia page? > An operating system is difficult to define,[7] but has been called "the layer of software that manages a computer's resources for its user…

"The definition"? Whose? There are many definitions of "operating system" and I think it may be you who has it wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system#Definition_an..…

They load only when operating on files in that directory. i.e. Lazy loading? For example, I have one in my schema migrations directory that explains how to write migrations with ap…

I'm obviously not saying that LLMs replace the glue between hardware and software. That would be absurd. An operating system is just the interface a user has to the programs they r…

I'm not advocating for this model. But I'm also not sure it has any more lock-in than choosing an OS today: Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, iOS.

I already mentioned this: > This obviously isn't entirely true: [...] it's the way I access my LLM. It doesn't change my opinion that there's a very real possibility that we move t…

> I don't get asked about access for Chrome at every update. Is it possible that you clicked "Approve" while the parent clicked "Not now"? One of my personal issues is that I was u…

I think because the idea of an "agent operating system" is starting to feel more and more inevitable. Since I can use AI to: - Pull information from external sources - Transform an…

That's what MEMORY.md and subdirectory-specific CLAUDE.md does.

Yes, my question is directed around how you are determining "task result." Is this measuring whether the code works, or whether it is maintainable? As with human-powered coding, we…

'better results' in terms of what though? A benchmark, or code that I would actually click "approve" on in a pull request scenario?

I find it impossible to daydream while focused on traffic.

This is blatantly false based on my usage of Fable and Opus. Though they are much better than they used to be.

As a native English speaker, I worry about picking up LLM-speak simply due to interacting with Claude Code all day.

I'm sorry to hear that's how it's going at your work.

The best engineers hand-edit .git Edit: But actually, one of my favorite Git explainers is https://wildlyinaccurate.com/a-hackers-guide-to-git/

Considering most teams have only switched to heavy AI use in the past few months, the verdict is still out on this. That said, I've had lots of success using AI to learn, refactor …

Definitely not - the biggest risk with this increased speed is going full-bore in the wrong direction. A product mindset (and a critical eye to architecture) matters more now than …

> I use LLMs for exploration and for review, but I write the code myself. I find it hard to believe why so many engineers try to avoid it. It’s not consuming much of my time. And i…

I find project-wide or subpackage-wide (for sufficiently large projects) CLAUDE.md's that document patterns (including for tests) solves this. /init will make a project-wide one, o…

I don't expect that would be the case. This is what's called BLUF or Bottom Line Up Front: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLUF_(communication) The model will still have read the ent…
