Pair programming is still one of the best ways to knowledge transfer between two programmers in a high throughput manner. Humans learn by doing, building synaptic connections. I wonder if a shared Claude Code instance has the same effect?

The person driving is the one that learns the most in pair programming. In the scenario you've described, that would be Claude. LLMs don't learn.

Doesn't CC sometimes take twenty, thirty minutes to return an attempt? I wouldn't know, because I'm not rich and my employer has decided CC is too expensive, but I wonder what you would do with your pair programming partner while you wait.

The bosses would like to think we'd start working on something else, maybe start up a different Claude instance, but can you really change contexts and back before the first one is done? You AND your partner?

Nah, just go play air hockey until your boss realizes Claude is what they need, not you.

The most interesting parts of this to me are somewhat buried: - Claude Code has been added to iOS - Claude Code on the Web allows for seamless switching to Claude Code CLI - They have open sourced an OS-native sandboxing system which limits file system and network access _without_ needing containers However, I find the emphasis on limiting the outbound network access somewhat puzzling because the allowlists invariabl…

It's pretty frustrating that every release is IOS first without any timeline or expectation for Android

Anthropic and Apple have a strategic partnership. It's a bit dicey but still seems to be in play. Which is interesting considering Google is a major investor and Apple is not. Anthropic wants Apple as a paying customer. Apple wants them to bend the knee.

Very curious to see what usage limits are like for paid plans. Anthropic was already experiencing issues with high-volume model usage for Pro and Max users. I hope their infrastructure is able to adequately support running these additional coding environments on top of model inference.

Just to be clear, I'm excited for the capability to use Claude Code entirely within the browser. However, I've heard reports of Max users experiencing throttled usage limits in recent months, and am concerned as to whether this will exacerbate that issue or not.

Just for the record, CC is about the cost of a Netflix subscription, and it responds faster than any human can.

Anecdotally, as a Max user typically using Claude Code for >8 hours/day, I've never experienced that. That said, I'm not one of those people using Opus for everything, and in fact I've been happy using Sonnet 4.5 even for planning.

You can get plenty of CC on a $20/month plan.

This is a depressing comment.

I am apprehensive about the future of software development in this milieu. I've pumped out a ~15,000 line application heavily utilizing Claude Code over a few days that seems to work, but I don't know how much to trust it.

Certainly part of the fun of building something was missing during that project, but it was still fun to see something new come to life.

Maybe I should say I am cautiously optimistic but also concerned: I don't feel confident in the best ways to use these tools to build good software, and I'm not sure exactly what skills are useful in order to get them there.
