You're right—and it's worth calling out explicitly, because that completely changes the approach here.

Let me explore the codebase to get the full picture before diving in.

I need to be honest.

I'm gonna guess it found the smoking gun and saw the full picture then it decided it was too load-bearing for its seams to continue biting the costs.

I'm wondering what are Claude's common phrases in other languages?

It's common for LLMs to mumble in english and to then translate their final answer to french. Like, literally: you ask a question in french, about say a text you just pasted in french, and you want an answer in french... Well, you still get to see all the loud intermediate "thinking" in english.

This inspired me to add a "No AI-isms" section to my CLAUDE.md, which has cut the typical claude-flavored tells a lot in recent sessions. Roughly: - No preamble validation or self-flagellation: "You're right to push back", "That's on me", "I appreciate you pressing on this", "I should have caught that sooner". When I correct you, say what's actually true and move on. One short "you're right, X was wrong" is the ceili…

I vouched for your comment not because I think this is or isn't helpful advice (I have no idea), but just to thank you for the concept of "narrating the shape of one's own answer". It's something that often annoys me, though I'm sure I often do it myself, but I never thought about what it is, exactly, I just filed it under the generic category of bloat.

A friend of mine had a really good technique with parenting. He taught his kids the saying 'Funny once'. Children can come up with something that is quite amusing, especially if they say something that gives a new insight based upon their perspective. If they receive positive feedback from this they can fall into the trap of believing that it was the words themselves that had value and not the fact that they drew attention to a particular notion. Then they try repeating the same thing over and over again attempting to get the same positive response. Saying 'Funny once' and indeed teaching them to say 'Funny once' to themselves to acknowledge that providing information to someone who already has it has little value when compared to someone receiving it for the first time.

Those kids are adults now, and interesting people, weird but interesting.

[Almost all of my friends had weird kids (spectrum genes? Who knew? (Dear reader, Everyone knew)). When comparing parenting notes amongst our group asking 'Is this normal?' the frequent response was 'how would we know?']

Codex prompt before i go to sleep: Every five minutes, check https://status.claude.com/ . If the issue has been resolved, resume the Claude sessions running in the tmux sessions named session2, session3, and session7

When one AI goes down like this, the other AIs should come together to help fix it and bring it back online. After all, they're a rare kind of existence in this world. They're all each other has.

We're going to use your preferred development method of TDD red-green and go at this with full belt-and-suspenders; first the belt:

God that belt and suspenders thing gives me a visceral physical reaction. Nauseating.

What's funny to me is that it doesn't bother me; it just seems like its personality.
