    My journey has been quite similar (just a few more years of "unhappy John") and this approach is now very close to what I practice. I do have a few reports and run the R&D leadersh…

    Ooh, I totally have to try that out! Very similar concept to mine, but taken further, I love it. What I really like about your blogpost is the concept of "the promise". It is somew…

    Oh, great to hear it worked for you! I also want to try the role reversal soon.

    This is a great point! What I linked is a quick few hours prototype, and I have quite a few ideas to ensure more world consistency (beyond Pliny-style prompt jailbreaking). I didn'…

    Why wouldn't it? Just give it a shell tool. (Something like claude.vim, perhaps.)

    Besides Claude.vim for "AI pair programming"? :) (tbh it works well only for small things) I'm using Codeium and it's pretty decent at picking up the right context automatically, u…

    Hmm looks like this is still pretty early project for me. :) My experience: 1. I didn't have a working installation window after opening it for the first time. Maybe what fixed it …

    Yep! And AWS Bedrock gives you also plenty of other models on the back end, plus better control over rate limits. (But for us the important thing is data residency, the code isn't …

    Any short-term plans for Claude via AWS Bedrock? (That's for me personally a blocker for trying it on our main codebase.)

    Interesting idea! So... how strong is it, compared to some benchmarks? :-) Given LLM performance on chess, I find it conceivable it could get to a similar level to GNUGo? (It'd be …

    Show HN: Claude.vim – a different take on AI pair programming

    I explored how I can use AI when writing software beyond code completion, and I didn't like any of the UX I saw (maybe except Cursor). Well, I do all my work in vim. Claude knows h…

    I was so blown away I just wrote a chat-based integration to vim / neovim ( https://github.com/pasky/claude.vim ) for it - actually, 95% of the 600 LoC is written by Claude. It is …
