Why is everyone so careless about letting Claude Desktop upload their source code and/or private data to its servers? Or maybe I'm too paranoid for caring about where data go.

#102Anthropic goes hard on the virtue signalling but I still don’t get how anyone manages to satisfy “Customer may not and must not attempt to (a) access the Services to build a competing product or service” So I just avoid it and generally think the whole thing isn’t serious, because nobody seems to care enough about the safety implications of building AGI with legal terms which are logically impossible to satisfy to de…
Are you trying to build an AI platform to compete with anthropic? If not, why does that line matter?
That seems pretty problematic to me. Anthropic makes and sells Claude Code, so basically any developer productivity tool is a competitor!

VeniceAI is great for privacy focused hosting of open-source models. Hopefully they add Qwen 3 Coder (which appears to be on par with Claude 4 for coding) to their API, then I can use my tools with it.

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
Unironically this can actually be a good idea. Instead of "rerunning," run in parallel. Then pick the best solution. Pros: - Saved Time! - Scalable! - Big Bill? Cons: - Big Bill - AI written code
Have you seen human-written code?
At least when you tell a human the indentation is wrong, they can fix it on the first try. Watched an AI agent last night try to fix indentation by using sed for 20 minutes before I just fixed it myself after cringing.

#105Wholesale use of and/or dependence on Claude Code feels like a Faustian bargain from a personal and even a business point of view.

#106> When Kubernetes clusters went down and weren't scheduling new pods, the team used Claude Code to diagnose the issue. They fed screenshots of dashboards into Claude Code, which guided them through Google Cloud's UI menu by menu until they found a warning indicating pod IP address exhaustion. Claude Code then provided the exact commands to create a new IP pool and add it to the cluster, bypassing the need to involve…
Yes. This is what id expect from an intern or very junior engineer (which could be the case here)

#107I use Claude and like it, but this post has kind of a clunky and stilted style So I guess the blog team also uses Claude
Also started to suspect that, but I have a bigger problem with the content than styling:
> "Instead of remembering complex Kubernetes commands, they ask Claude for the correct syntax, like "how to get all pods or deployment status," and receive the exact commands needed for their infrastructure work."
Duh, you can ask LLM tech questions and stuff. What is the point of putting something like that on the tech blog of the company which supposed to be working on beading edge tech.

#108My optimization hack is that I'm using speech recognition now with Claude Code. I can just talk to it like a person and explain the full context / history of things. Way faster than typing it all out.
The SuperWhisper app is great, if you use a Mac.
Open source and cross platform one: https://handy.computer

#109I've been trying Claude Code for a few weeks after using Gemini Cli. There's something a little better the tool use loop, which is nice. But Claude seems a little dumber and is aggressive about "getting things done", often ignoring common sense or explicit instructions or design information. If I tell it to make a test pass, it will sometimes change my database structure to avoid having to debug the test. At least tw…
The hilarious part I’ve found is that when it runs into the least bit of trouble with a step on one of its plans, it will say it has been “Deferred” and then make up an excuse for why that’s acceptable. It is sometimes acceptable for humans to use judgment and defer work; the machine doesn’t have judgment so it is not acceptable for it to do so.
Well I would say that the machine should not override the human input. But if the machine makes up the plans in the first place, then why should it not be allowed to change the plans? I think that the hilarious part in modifying tests to make them work without understanding why they fail is that it probably happens due to training from humans.

#110A repeated trend is that Claude Code only gets 70-80% of the way, which is fine and something I wish was emphasized more by people pushing agents. This bullet point is funny: > Treat it like a slot machine > Save your state before letting Claude work, let it run for 30 minutes, then either accept the result or start fresh rather than trying to wrestle with corrections. Starting over often has a higher success rate th…
> A repeated trend is that Claude Code only gets 70-80% of the way, which is fine and something I wish was emphasized more by people pushing agents. Recently, I realized that this applies not only to the first 70–80% of a project but sometimes also to the final 70-80%. I couldn’t make progress with Claude on a major refactoring from scratch, so I started implementing it myself. Once I had shaped the idea clearly enou…
I need to try this - started using Claude code a few days ago and have been struggling to get good implementations with some high-complexity refactors. It keeps over engineering and creating more problems than it solves. It's getting close though, and I think your approach would work very well for this scenario!
