Crazy how fast Claude Code is evolving, every week there’s something new to learn, and it just keeps getting better.

Nothing crazy about it, judging by how much CPU and memory it uses. Now, if it managed to grow features without bringing my M4 Mac with 64GB of ram to a crawl... that's be magic .

Huh, Claude Code barely uses any system ressources. Are you sure it's Claude Code and not some Electron app that hasn't been updated for Tahoe?

> Finally, we keep this file synced with an AGENTS.md file to maintain compatibility with other AI IDEs that our engineers might be using. I researched this the other day, the recommended (by Anthropic) way to do this is to have a CLAUDE.md with a single line in it: @AGENTS.md Then keep your actual content in the other file: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/claude-code-on-t...

This is one thing I think they need to get in-line with, and rename CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md to follow convention.

To be fair, I think Anthropic/Claude started doing CLAUDE.md before AGENTS.md was a thing.

"Claude Code isn’t just an interactive CLI; it’s also a powerful SDK for building entirely new agents—..." Em dash and "it's not X, it's Y" in one sentence. Tired of reading posts written by AI. Feels disrespectful to your readers

The internet is dead. Long live the internet.

Kinda sad if 3000 words is now considered "too long to read through rather use as reference" but some interesting points, I'd be keen to see an even longer version with actual examples instead of placeholder ones.

Yeah I'm fairy pessimistic about how much folks will read

I really enjoyed reading this. One thought I had on the issue of paths in Claude.md My concern with hardcoding paths inside a doc, it will likely become outdated as the codebase evolves. One solution would be to script it and have it run pre commit to regenerate the Claude.md with the new paths. There probably is potential for even more dev tooling that 1. Ensure reference paths are always correct, 2. Enforces standa…

We have a linter that checks for this to help mitigate

> If you’re not already using a CLI-based agent like Claude Code or Codex CLI, you probably should be. Are the CLI-based agents better (much better?) than the Cursor app? Why? I like how easy it is to get Cursor to focus a particular piece of code. I select the text and Cmd-L, saying "fix this part, it's broken like this ____." I haven't really tried a CLI agent; sending snippets of code by CLI sounds really annoying…

Claude is just better at coding than cursor. Really, the interface isn't a meaningful part of it. I also like cmd-L, but claude just does better at writing code. ...also, it's nice that Anthropic is just focusing on making cool stuff (like skills), while the folk from cursor are... I dunno. Whatever it is they're doing with cursor 2.0 :shrug:

Cursor can use the Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus LLMs, so I would expect output to be quite similar in that respect.

The agentic part of the equation is improving on both sides all the time.

I have the same instinctive response to reading AI generated stuff, but I'm coming to a more moderate position where I'm trying to judge the content on the content itself. For example, in a post like this, it doesn't bother me at all because it's still an extremely useful reference, and the author clearly read through, organized, and edited the output. This is a good example of usage of AI in my opinion. The people w…

Not worried about hallucinations?

We have an AGENTS.md symlinked to CLAUDE.md, seems to work fine.

This is the way.

They ain't giving up that free marketing.

I definitely would be, though this part I consider mitigation:

> the author clearly read through, organized, and edited the output.

Also worth noting, I've read plenty of human written stuff that has errors in it, so I read everything skeptically anyway.
