For what it's worth, I've been using a fairly minimal setup (24 lines of CLAUDE.md, no MCPs, skills, or custom slash commands) since 3.7 and I've only noticed Claude Code getting significantly better on each model release.

Claude Code's DX is too good. And that's a problem

#92Earlier quoted context omitted.
is that vram on your GPU? I don't think claude code uses that.
Not on GPU, I think it's just paged memory. You are right claude-code isn't running the model locally. Today I've had to kill it 5 times till now. edit: https://ibb.co/Fbn8Q3pb that's the 6th
Why do you think it's Claude and not iTerm?

#93I wish one day to be so brave to let a tool I clearly don't understand* ssh to a production server with root access**. * calling it a god-level programmer kinda gave it away they have no idea what's actually going on ** to restart docker containers you either have to be root or part of the docker group which effectively gives you root privileges
The consensus is that nobody should have root SSH to a production server.

been using iterm for 10 years. Didn't update recently. claude code is the only new factor in my setup. I can visibly predict as i am using claude code when its about to happen (when conversation goes above 200 messages and then uses sub agents leading to somehow infinite rerendering of the message timeline and they seemingly use a html to bash rendering thing because ... ) so yeah maybe you are right iterm is not able to handle those rerendering or maybe the monitor is broken.

#95I sort of agree with this about cognitive load. I'm somewhat new (started dipping my toes around July) but use Claude code heavily now. I did spend a lot of time playing with configuring it at first and creating agents etc. But I have a weird setup where I have three computers that I work on and at one point I realized vanilla Claude Code had adopted the things I was doing as defaults (and improved on them). So I hav…
I definitely relate with your sentiment and I like your term "configuration bankruptcy" on MCP, the mental model that clicked for me is "giving claude access to tools it can call" so that instead of copy pasting from your database or API, claude can just... query it playwright MCP for me is godsend
Nice way to put it. Skills feel great for shaping how Claude works inside a repo, while MCP really shines when you want it to talk to “live” systems : databases, test runs, CI, all that external state.

I use xterm, and the visual glitch doesn't crash anything, so maybe try that? I suspect though maybe you're using much longer sessions than I do, with the talk of sub agents and all.
I've mostly just been using it for single features and then often just quitting it until I have the next dumb idea to try out.
