If your codebase can’t fit on a single developer dev machine it’s too big.
You mean like Teslas multi terabyte repo is not normal?
I think it's obvious that multi terabyte repos are not the norm.

#52This is really a zero information blog post. I want to know how they use the LSP to improve their understanding of the code base. Would be great if it was open source for us to review. A post like this should be providing people with some reassurance about Claude's ability to understand code at a large scale. It's mostly fluff. Edit: so I did some googling to dig around for thoughts on LSP performance and integration…
Really? I thought it explained the point that harnessing for agentic search of a large code base is more beneficial than RAG-indexing a monorepo.

#53A lot of words about nothing.
Meanwhile we are still waiting for these statements to come true:

Accountability, anyone?

> Didn’t delete production database? I still say if this happens to you with AI tooling, that's both a failure on you and your org for giving a developer prod credentials that could nuke production resources. I don't think I've worked in a place that gave me this level of blind access.
I have only worked in startups and I have been an early engineer in both of them. I would always get high privileges within a short time where I would have the access to create and delete resources. I don't think it's that uncommon.
I would never have these privileges granted directly to my account.
Indeed it’s a good practice to use roles where supported (AWS has them) and explicitly switch when needed

#55I don't have any LSP's hooked up to CC yet (going to fix that today), or particularly sophisticated CLAUDE.md files.
So, if I've read this post correctly, that means that CC is navigating my codebase today by sending lots of it up to a model, and building an understanding. Is that correct? Did I misunderstand it?
I kinda suspected there was more local inference going on somehow -- partly because the iteration times are fairly fast.
Re: How Claude Code works in large codebases
#56So ... the better you explain the codebase to the LLM the better it explains it to you?

This is already the case for many startups. In fact, the figure might be closer to 100%. The work shifts to requirements analysis, high-level specifications, and final review instead (after AI code review).

#58How important are Claude.MD files when they don’t even describe (with concrete terms) what should even go into each one?
the fish: you can read about that here: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices#write-an-effe...
the fishing: 1) install the official `skill-creator`; 2) use that with the above link to create `claude-md-improver`; 3) improve the skill by tasking claude with researching the topic of `progressive-disclosure`, in the official docs; 4) point the new skill at you CLAUDE.md file and accept the changes

#59Claude clearly wrote this. A lot of fluff, not much substance.
