How much time do you lose when doing things like "verify plan with a second clean agent" instead of just reading and fixing it yourself in 5 min? How much understanding do you lose? How do you manage to treat it "as an engineer" where it's clearly not there yet? How much time do you lose when it makes almost the same mistake, invents stuff or tries to gaslight you over and over? What about blood pressure?

#52The number one power move I have is Nix integration. The availability of tooling, secrets, environment and the ability for the agent to modify its own environment is... well, I don't know how people live without it. I guess you guys still install things using commands and hope everything you need is present on the next machine? Developer machine, CI environment, deployment environment: They're all derived from a sing…
I just use docker and I don't feel I'm missing anything?

I just gave mine its own VPS. Maybe more expensive than Nix but it was very easy

#55Honestly, claude code has saved so many hours of finding bugs for developers

I agree. In fact, computers in general are for lazy cretins who can't use a pen and paper. We got man into space calculating with a pen and paper, if it was good enough then, it is good enough now. I like your concept, it should go further, cars are for people too lazy to walk. Planes are for people too lazy to flap their arms. Video cameras are for people too lazy to draw each frame by hand in real time then play them in a hand cranked projector.

#56In the recent weeks, I think the harness/model came to a point that you can just ask it to do stuff and it just does. You can use plan mode, you can also use superpowers, or whatever other skill, but given that you'll review something anyway, why not work directly with code instead of silly amounts of md files?
I like having a spec file that is used to generate the code. It's more dense and easier to understand what the application is supposed do. Prior to AI Agents, I had a more complex relationships with requirements because not all devs updated them. I was confused if the spec or code was the correct behavior for any aspect of the application.

#57What 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?
Just use a fallback, like Codex CLI. Takes a little effort upfront to ensure your configuration is wired correctly for both harnesses, but it is pretty easy to get them 90% identical (there will almost always be some experimental / edge case features that differ across harnesses, but in my experience those are negligible in practice).

#60Nerds and their tendency to over-complicate everything. What is wrong with just an IDE with a simple claude integration?
