> In a monorepo, just loading the project consumes ~20k tokens I don't work on a monorepo, and as an example, what I would consider a mid-size service in my mid-size company is 7M tokens. I can't but ask: do all people who are so enthusiastic about AI for coding only work on trivial projects?

Author here. I wrote this because everyone is talking about Claude Code right now and it's all over my timeline. Claude Code has this effect where you KNOW it's good but can't quite say WHY. So I spent the weekend digging into the DX decisions that make Claude Code delightful.
Do you have any sources you've found that document Claude Code's UI in detail? I'm really curious about what they've built, as a UI designer.
I've not used Claude Claude yet, but why would it be bad if it gains features that people use? Did people ever complain about Photoshop to have too many features demanding some cognitive load? Excel? Practically every IDE out there? There is a reason people use those tools instead of the plain text editor or paint. It's for power users and people will become power users of AI as well. Some will forever stick to chatg…

How much AI did you use to write up this article? It tripped up my "fake AI-written article" detector a few times despite being interesting enough to read to the end
used claude to polish the draft and tighten sentences. the thinking, analysis, and examples are all mine and based on personal experiences. spent the weekend reflecting on my past experiences with claude code and actually digging into why claude code feels the way it does. curious to know what tripped your detector.
I cannot at all understand writing an essay and then having an llm "tighten up the sentences" which instead just makes it sound like slop generated from a list of bullets

“Here’s the thing” “The best part?”
"It's not just X, it's Y" I find it really hard to read articles that use AI slop aphorisms. Please use your own words, it matters.
Jokes aside, my English is passable and I'm fine with it when writing comments but I'm very aware that some of it doesn't sound native due to me, well, not being native speaker.
I use AI to make it sound more fluent when writing for my blog.
> With Opus 4.5, Claude Code feels like having a god-level engineer beside you. Opinionated but friendly. Zero ego. Who keeps forgetting variable names and function calling conventions it used 4 seconds ago while using 136 GBs of ram for the cli causing you to frequently force quit the whole terminal. Its not even human level.
I've been running claude code on a 13 year old potato and it's never used 136GB of RAM - possibly because I only have 8GB.
I have an "image sorter" that sucks in images from image galleries into tagging system with semantic web capabilities "Character:Mona -> Copyright:Genshin_Impact" and ML capabilities (it learns to tag the same way you do)
Gen 1 of it was cued by a bookmarklet to have a webcrawler pull the gallery HTML and the images. I started having Cloudflare problems so Gen 2 worked by saving complete pages and importing the directories, that had problems so I was looking at a Gen 3 using a bookmarklet to fetch and POST the images out of the browser into the server so I tell Junie my plan and it tells me I'll have CORS trouble and "Would you consider making a browser extension?"
Well I had considered that but was intimidated at the prospect, figured I'd probably have to carve out an uninterrupted weekend to study browser extensions, kick my son out of the house to go busk with his guitar instead of playing upstairs (the emotional/social bit is important) and even then have a high chance of not really getting it done and then end up taking another month to get an uninterrupted weekend. I told Junie "I've got no idea how you do that, don't you need a build system, don't you need to sign it?" and it said "No, you can just make the manifest file and a JS file and do a temporary install" so I say "make it so" and in 20 minutes I have the browser extension.
It still isn't working end-to-end, but I'm now debugging it and ought to be able to get it working in a weekend with interruptions even if I didn't get any more AI help.
