As a burnt-out, laid-off aging developer, I want to thank Anthropic for helping me get in love with programming again. Claude Code on terminal with all my beloved *nix tools and vim rocks.

Agreed, it's actually fun again. The evening hours I used to burn with video games and weed are now spent with claude code, rewriting and finishing up all my custom desktop tools and utilities I started years ago.

I had a lot of fun making 'tools' like this, but once I settled into a complicated problem (networking in a multiplayer game), it has become frustrating to watch Claude give back control to me without accomplishing anything, over and over again. I think I need to start using the SDK in order to force it to its job.

"When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback, which includes usage data (such as code acceptance or rejections), associated conversation data, and user feedback submitted via the /bug command."

> So I can opt out of training

Even that is debatable. There are a lot of weasel words in their text. At most they're saying "we're not training foundation models on your data", which is not to say "we're not training reward models" or "we're not testing our other-data models on your data" and so on.

I guess the safest way to view this is to consider anything you send them as potentially in the next LLMs, for better or worse.

When they ask "How is Claude doing this session?", that appears to be a sneaky way for them to harvest the current conversation based on the terms-of-service clause you pointed out.

I've got it using dbus, doing funky stuff with Xlib, working with pipewire using the pulseaudio protocol which it implemented itself (after I told it to quit using libraries for it.) You can't one-shot complicated problems, at least not without extensive careful prompting, but at this point I believe I can walk it through pretty much anything I can imagine wanting done.

I wish there were an option to cancel a currently running prompt midway. Right now, pressing Ctrl+C twice ends up terminating the entire session instead.

I'm always watching Claude Code as it runs, ready to hit the Escape key as soon as it goes off the rails. Sometimes it gets stuck in a cul de sac, or misunderstands something basic about the project or its structure and gets off on a bad tangent. But overall I love CC.

I still spend my evening hours like that and do ai-assisted coding in the background

Depends on the game tbh, having claude ping me for attention every few minutes disrupts most games too much, but with turn-based or casual games it works out well. OpenTTD and Endless Sky are fun to play while claude churns.

Just use `claude update` if you already have it. Unfortunately, they removed Plan mode, when I could use Opus for planning and Sonnect for coding. Though I will see how this pans out.

They removed the /model option where you can select Opus to plan and Sonnet to execute. But you can still Shift + Tab to cycle between auto-accept and plan mode.

Oh thank God. parent comment made me think Plan mode was gone entirely by incorrectly stating that...Plan made is gone entirely...

> they removed Plan mode

This isn't true, you just need to use the usual shortcut twice: shift+tab
