Agreed, it's actually fun again. The evening hours I used to burn with video games and weed are now spent with claude code, rewriting and finishing up all my custom desktop tools and utilities I started years ago.

I had a lot of fun making 'tools' like this, but once I settled into a complicated problem (networking in a multiplayer game), it has become frustrating to watch Claude give back control to me without accomplishing anything, over and over again. I think I need to start using the SDK in order to force it to its job.

I mean, yes. This is what Claude is good for: helping solve problems that aren't difficult or complex, just time consuming.

The thing is a lot of software jobs boil down to not difficult but time consuming.

It’s still better letting Claude slog through all that boilerplate and skeletal code for you so that you can take the wheel when things start getting interesting. I’ve avoided working on stuff in the past just because I knew I wouldn’t be motivated enough to write the foundation and all the uninteresting stuff that has to come first.

You can find the revamped prompt on github[1], or on twitter summarized by my bot[2]. [1] https://github.com/marckrenn/cc-mvp-prompts/compare/v1.0.128... [2] https://x.com/CCpromptChanges/status/1972709093874757976

> IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD *ANY** COMMENTS unless asked*

Interesting. This was in the old 1.x prompt, removed for 2.0. But CC would pretty much always add comments in 1.x, something I would never request, and would often have to tell it to stop doing (and it would still do it sometimes even after being told to stop).

As a burnt-out, laid-off aging developer, I want to thank Anthropic for helping me get in love with programming again. Claude Code on terminal with all my beloved *nix tools and vim rocks.

Careful with trying to generalize personalized insights from therapy! Everyone is different. I believe advice giving (& receiving!) is very difficult to do well, even with people you know personally. For strangers on an internet forum, it is impossible.

100%. As a burnt-out manager, who doesn't get a lot of spare time to actually code. It's nice to have a tool like CC where I can make actual incremental changes in the spare 15 minutes I get here and there.

I spend most of my time making version files with the prompt, but pretty impressed by how far I've gotten on an idea that would have never seen the light of day....

The thoughts of having to write input validation, database persistence, and all the other boring things I've had to write a dozen times in the past....

So tell us how to safely run this stuff then. I was under the impression that Docker container escapes are actually very rare. How high do you rate the chance of a prompt injection attack against Claude running in a docker container on macOS managing to break out of that container? (Actually hang on, you called me out for suggesting containers like Docker are safe but that's not what I said - I said "a safe container…

I'll also point out that I've been writing about security topics for 22 years. https://simonwillison.net/tags/security/

There's a bit of UI around it where you can accept the plan. I personally stopped using it and instead moved to a workflow where I simply ask it to write the plan in a file. It's much easier to edit and improve this way.

Yeah, I just have it generate PRDs/high-level plans, then break it down into cards in "Kanban.md" (a bunch of headers like "Backlog," "In-Progress", etc). To be honest, Claude is not great about moving cards when it's done with a task, but this workflow is very helpful for getting it back on track if I need to exit a session for any reason.

i've experienced the same thing. usually i try to set up or have it set up a milestone/phase approach to an implementation with checklists (markdown style) but it's 50/50 if it marks them automatically upon completion.

Thanks for caring. At the moment I am in a good place and luckily I don't have financial problems. My mental health is getting better thanks to a fixed schedule, sleep, diet, exercise, socializing, and walks in nature. I hope you get better soon, too.

If you want to chat with somebody, let me know.

One thing I really like using them for is refactoring/reorganizing. The tedious nature of renaming, renaming all implementations, moving files around, creating/deleting folders, updating imports exports, all melts away when you task an agent with it. Of course this assumes they are good enough to do them with quality, which is like 75% of the time for me so far.

does it use the smart refractoring hooks of the IDEs or does it do blunt text replacement

The later
