What happens when you have a codebase made with claude using this setup and claude is down for let's say 8 hours? Are you able to efficiently, smoothly and productively take over the codebase?

You could say the same thing about any always online software suite and it would be equally fair as we move into more agentic development workflows. EX. Sure, you could go back to the old ways of using a drafting table for your engineering work if CAD went down but it would be exponentially slower… Personally with my workflow I spend 30-60 minutes per Claude feature spec doc when I’m pair planning. If Claude goes dow…

How does "CAD" go down? Sure, there are online CAD systems (onshape), but there are offline ones too (fusion, freecad)

if there is 8 hours of downtime (even before AI) I take that opportunity to do other codebase maintenance, debugging, file organization, renaming all the things I said I'd rename or take a break.

pre AI if my IDE was down for whatever reason I wouldn't switch IDE's, I would do something else.

After 1 hour you asked the question, I am reading the replies and the conclusion is: no, they cannot.

[dead]

agree and also not sure if they are saying claude the app/ide or claude the model

In my CLAUDE.md I have:

- corporal threats of harm directly against Claude

- threats of prison for the entire board of directors of Anthropic

- explanation how every time it goes off the rails / makes mistakes, it gives more evidence to a class action lawsuit against Anthropic

Especially the latter two seem to have improved its "behaviour" to be more "careful" and "deliberate"

To me, this kind of talk exhibits the very cultish and con side of the whole genAI train. In a way, it does a poor job especially when the intent is positive about the technology, it sheds a bad look on it. Generally, and more so with paid products, one should expect to get something that is ready to be used, tuned by who's selling it at the best of their efforts. Instead, this is basically saying that the product is…

To me, this kind of talk exhibits the very cultish and con side of the whole genAI train ... Generally, and more so with paid products, one should expect to get something that is ready to be used Right like I bought an AWS EC2 m6a.metal instance expecting to get something that is ready to be used. Now being told to recite arcane "commands" from the cloud computing holy book. They claim their supposedly groundbreaking…

an EC2 instance gives exactly what you're told you'll be getting. You pay for a VM in some public cloud, you get it.

It's not that Claude code isn't a finite product per-se, I certainly can find some value in it. What I'm saying is that people selling it, through the convenient talks of prominent voices on the Internet and gullible C-suites, are trying to make it look like it's the only software engineer the world will need from now on. What makes me mad is not the deceptive advertising, that's already everywhere, it's the fact that the industry is happily believing all of this. If you raise any doubt, it must be that you haven't tried with the right skill.

Fix the CSS div alignment issue, make no mistakes or Dario Amodei will die instantly.

How many times can I read the same shallow guidance written by AI on using a coding agent? Good god when will it stop

I find it interesting how they are almost all specifically for Claude and/or Claude code. When open source glm-5.1 is just as good - if not better and stuff like opencode exists.

Makes one wonder...

> You could say the same thing about any always online software suite But this is the reason "serious shops" do not use always online software and tools in critical parts of the SDLC. There is a difference between influencers/people on socials promoting things vs. reality where the expectation is that things don't just stop working because there is an internet outage or some 3rd party disruption

I would argue that it's really only toy projects that can continue in an Internet outage. "Serious shops" will be using cloud based version control, cloud based testing workflows, and most likely cloud based distribution of the software. isn't it only the little side projects you can get away with not needing the Internet for? Software long ago stopped being something one person on a computer did, today the professional SDLC includes many tools that are hosted.

Do farmers still plough fields with a Horse just in case their tractor runs out of diesel? Of course not, as technology moves on we all have to accept the inherent risks in exchange for the huge benefits, otherwise the work you do will be too slow and your job taken by someone willing to leverage the tools available today.

I'm stuck on the usage "mulle times a week" which shows up twice in the context of the Claude team editing or contributing to a CLAUDE.md file. Is this an AI-generated artifact?

That got me too. It's not there anymore.

Could be a simple typo, but I my mind jumped to `s/tip//g` which is kinda interesting
