I’d say around ~40% me, the ideating, editing, citations, and images are all mine; rest Opus 4 :)
I typically try to also include the original Claude chat’s link in the post but it seems like Claude doesn’t allow sharing chats with deep research used in them.
See this series of posts for example, I have included the link right at the beginning: https://diwank.space/juleps-vision-levels-of-intelligence-pt...
I completely get the critique and I already talked about it earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44213823

#15Honest question: approx what percent of the post was human vs machine written?

Re: Field Notes from Shipping Real Code with Claude
#16I finally decided few days ago to try this Claude Code thing in my personal project. It's depressingly efficient. And damn expensive - I used over 10 dollars in one day.
But I'm afraid it is inevitable - I will have to pay tax to AI overlords just to be able to keep my job.

#17Some thoughts:
- Is there a more elegant way to organize the prompts/specifications for LLMs in a codebase? I feel like CLAUDE.md, SPEC.mds, and AIDEV comments would get messy quickly.
- What is the definition of "vibe-coding" these days? I thought it refers to the original Karpathy quote, like cowboy mode, where you accept all diffs and hardly look at code. But now it seems that "vibe-coding" is catch-all clickbait for any LLM workflow. (Tbf, this title "shipping real code with Claude" is fine)
- Do you obfuscate any code before sending it to someone's LLM?

Why not? This way at least the idea gets out there. Otherwise I’d have never come around to writing this.

I don’t understand why not. I’m not a natural prose writer, but (I felt that) these ideas were worth putting out there.
I posted on HN largely to get feedback.

I was looking at $2,000 a year and climbing, before Anthropic announce $100 and $200 Max subscriptions that bundled Claude Console and Claude Code. There are limits per five hour windows, but one can toggle back to metered API with the login/ command, or just walk the dog. $100 a month has done me fine.
