The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy. I've been using Claude code since the initial public preview release, and have seen the direction over time. The "golden" end state of coding agents is that you give it a Feature Request (EG Jira ticket), and it gives you a PR to review and give feedback on. Cursor, windsurf, etc, are dead ends in tha…

You should use some of those agents yourself to fix some glaring issues at your landing page.

Anthropic also announced something along those lines today as well, in beta: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/github-action...

How did you find this? It doesn't pop up on any news sections on their site. I want to be on top of these kinds of things too!

Fwiw, it was in their newsletter they sent out yesterday (it's how I learned about it).

The moment I am able to outsource work for Jira tickets to a level that AI actually delivers a reasonable pull request, many corporate managers will seriously wonder why keep the offshoring team around.

Maybe I’m not think big picture enough… but have you ever tried using generative AI (i.e., a transformer) to create a circuit schematic? They fail miserably. Worse than Chat GPT-2 at generating text.

The current SOTA models can do some impressive things, in certain domains. But running a business is way more than generating JavaScript.

The way I see it, only some jobs will be impacted by generative AI in the near term. Not replaced, augmented.

Claude has been left in the dust by Gemini with its million token session and ability to upload a zip file of my entire code base.

I can't say that I don't love Gemini. I use it a lot, and the huge context window does help. But I can also say that I much prefer how Claude writes code.

It seems like the Holy Grail here has become: "A business is one person, the CEO, sitting at his desk doing deals and directing virtual and physical agents to do accounting, run factories, manage R&D, run marketing campaigns, everything." That's it. A single CEO, (maybe) a lawyer, and a big AI/robotics bill = every business. No pesky employees to pay. That's the ultimate end game here, that's what these guys want. Is…

> A single CEO, (maybe) a lawyer... Of all the professions that are at the risk of being downsized, I think lawyers are up there. We used to consult our lawyers so frequently about things big and small. We have now completely removed the small stuff from that equation. And most of our stuff is small. There is very little of the big stuff and I think LLMs aren't too far from taking care of that as well.

Yup I have said for the past year to anyone that'll listen, that the concept of hourly (white collar) work will go away.

And there's no better example of hourly work than lawyers.

Personally, I've always disliked the model of billing by the hour because it incentivizes the wrong things, but it is easier to get clients to justify these costs (because they're used to thinking in that framework).

I'd rather take on the risk and find ways to do more efficient work. It's actually FUN to do things that way. And nowadays, this is where AI can benefit in that framework the most.

But I know I'm probably in the minority.

You guys all sound like you have more hands than I do. And nothing else in them.

My jaw hurts after an hour long meeting. I lose my voice after 2 hours. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed finger fatigue, even after 16 hours of typing and playing guitar. Yeah, I think I’d rather click and type than talk, all day.

You may want to try listening to others during meetings rather than talk ceaselessly

more context from the claude code team: http://latent.space/p/claude-code you can skim the transcript but some personal highlights: - anthropic employees, with unlimited claude, average to $6/day of usage - headless claude code as a "linux" utility that you use everywhere in CI is pretty compelling - claude code as a user extensible platform - future roadmap of claude code: sandboxing, branching, planning - sonnet 3.…

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but I can easily spend $20+ using Claude Code for 2 hours. I've stopped using it because it was too expensive for my personal projects.

Maybe engineers at Anthropic use it less because they fully understand the limitations and drawbacks

You changed the word artificial to general which obviously changes the meaning

Keep going, the end end goal is that even the customers are AI. And the company doesn't sell anything or do anything, it just trades NFTs and stocks and digital goods. And the money isn't real, it's all crypto. This is the ideal, to create nothing, to sell nothing to no one, and for somehow that to mean you created "value" to society and therefore should be rewarded in material terms. And greatly at that, the people…

"This is I guess what happens when you follow capitalism to its logical conclusion" This. I am amazed that people usually are blind to this trajectory.
