Are there any of those CLI clients (coded in plain and simple C, or basic python/perl without 1 billion of expensive dependencies) able to access those 'coding AI' prompt anonymously then rate limited?

If no anonymous access is provided, is there a way to create an account with a noscript/basic (x)html/classic web browsers in order to get an API key secret?

Because I do not use web engines from the "whatng" cartel.

To add insult to injury, my email is self-hosted with IP literals to avoid funding the DNS people which are mostly now in strong partnership with the "whatng" cartel (email with IP literals are "stronger" than SPF since it does the same and more). An email is often required for account registration.

"Claude Code isn’t just an interactive CLI; it’s also a powerful SDK for building entirely new agents—..." Em dash and "it's not X, it's Y" in one sentence. Tired of reading posts written by AI. Feels disrespectful to your readers

The internet is dead. Long live the internet.

I don't understand how people use the `git worktree` workflow. I get that you want to isolate your work, but how do you deal with dev servers, port conflicts and npm installs? When I tried it, it was way more hassle than it was worth.

I have a bash script that creates the worktree, copies env over and changes the ports of containers and the services. I then can proxy the "real" port to any worktree, it's common I'll have 3 worktrees active to switch back and forth

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nothing crazy about it, judging by how much CPU and memory it uses. Now, if it managed to grow features without bringing my M4 Mac with 64GB of ram to a crawl... that's be magic .

My m1 macbook pro works fine with +10 claude code sessions open at the same time (iTerm2). Are you using a terminal with a memory leak perhaps?

I have home server (cost around $150) with 16 GB RAM also running Claude Code fine.

As fascinating as these tools can be - are we (the industry) once again finding something other than our “customer” to focus our brains on (see Paul Graham’s “Top idea in your mind” essay)?

What do you mean by "customer"? Because I'm also using these tools to understand the customer better.

Just my curiosity: Why are you producing so much code? Is it because it is now possible to do so with AI, or because you have a genuine need (solid business usecase) that requires a lot of code?

>> Why are you producing so much code? This is basically a "thinking tax". If you don't want to think and offload it to llm they burn through a lot of tokens to implement in a non-efficient way something you could often do in 10 lines if you though about it for a few minutes.

In a large project with decent code structure there can be quite a bit of boilerplate, convention, testing required. Also we are not talking about a 10-line change. More like 10k line feature.

Before LLMs we simply wouldn't implement many of those features since they were not exactly critical and required a lot of time, but now when the required development time is cut signifficantly, they suddenly make sense to implement.

I gave that a try, then I decided to use devcontainers instead, and I find that better, for the reasons you mentioned.

I feel like these posts are interesting, but become irrelevant quickly. Does anyone actually follow these as guides, or just consume them as feedback for how we wish we could interface with LLMs and the workarounds we currently use? Right now these are reading like a guide to prolog in the 1980s.

I wouldn't use as a guide necessarily, but I would use as a way to sync my own findings and see if I have missed something important.

Why are so many still using CC and not Codex

I use both at the same time. CC seems to have better access to web and researching capabilities compared to Codex. Maybe I'm not using Codex right or missing something, but it has frequent troubles browsing internet. Also Claude Code is faster. So I use it when I know it can handle the task.
