It is good because it highlights the relevant aspects of the design and you can use this, plus some other resources, to replicate the idea.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Could you briefly explain your workflow? I use Zed’s agent mode and I don’t really understand how people are doing it purely through the CLI. How do you get a decent workflow where you can approve individual hunks? Aren’t you missing out on LSP help doing it in the CLI?
Claude code has a VS Code plugin now that lets you view and approve diffs in the editor. Before it did that, I really don't understand how people got anything of substance done because it simply isn't reliable enough over large codebases.

#33The "LLMs perspective" section is hiding at the end of this notion is a literal goldmine
No, it's completely useless, and puts the entire rest of the analysis in a bad light. LLMs have next to no understanding of their own internal processes. There's a significant amount of research that demonstrates this. All explanations of an internal thought process in an LLM are completely reverse engineered to fit the final answer (interestingly, humans are also prone to this – seen especially in split brain experi…
You're stuck on the anthropomorphize semantics, but that wasn't the purpose of the exercise.

#35Claude Code with Sonnet 4 is so good I've stopped using Aider. This has been hugely productive. I've been able to write agents that Claude Code can spawn and call out to for other models, even.
What does it give you that enabling Sonnet as a backend for Aider doesn't?

If this is what software engineering is going to become I'm finding a new job.
I’m building a non-trivial platform as a solo project/business and have been working on it since about January. I’ve gotten more done in two nights than I did in 3 months.
I’m sure there are tons of arguments and great points against what I just said, but it’s my current reality and I still can’t believe it. I shelled out the $100/mo after one night of blowing through the $20 credits I used as a trial.
It does struggle with design and front end. But don’t we all.

Have you been able to interface Claude Code with Gemini 2.5 Pro? I'm finding that Gemini 2.5 Pro is still better at solving certain problems and architecture and it would be great to be able to consult directly in CC.

#40It sees everything it needs to in one pass, no extra reasoning or instruction tokens around things like MCP that abstract and create hops to simple understanding of where things are at.
