this morning I found more #claudecode magic. I created eval jsons, with sentences and expected extracted data, with #claude. I had #claudecode then create an extraction prompt and an evaluation script to score the results. Right now #claudecode is iterating on the prompt, by itself. OMG.

#claudecode is tired of my demands. This morning I got this:
"Looking at the errors, your tests are mocking the client's response but the repository methods aren't actually being called...
You need to modify your tests...
Try removing the client.get mocking ..."
Wait, what? no, plz fix

In many cases when I ask #claude of various generations "advise me" I need to research the enhancements that are suggested. Almost always very good ideas. Many times I would not have considered the improvement.

I have #claudecode create a plan, execute the plan in phases, commit code in phases with excellent commit messages, and then update the plan. This means I can see one md file in my repo that shows progress on work and deliverables. This amazes me.

I am experimenting with a team of coding agents. I have #claudecode enhancing my api for performance, and at the same time I have #windsurf designing test coverage for my firebase services. Am I an indy hacker manager of bots?

#claudecode is confused w/ pytest-since yesterday: "However, we're still encountering issues with pytest itself, which appears to be a Python environment issue. The error message TypeError: _warning_redirect() missing 1 required positional argument:.." Not fatal as I can run pytest and validate.

#claudecode tip: when working on a significant enhancement, have Claude Code create the design. Review and modify it. Have Claude create an implementation plan. Claude should managed these docs in md files in your repo. And you can ask Claude to update the plan with progress. Works!

I've been very productive with Claude Code since release. Here's a tip that may be helpful: allow Claude Code to generate commit messages. they are very good. This gives you the history you need! #claude #claudecode

is there guidance on prompting @windsurfai.bsky.social to preserve the underlying software structure while making changes? When I add a command to the CLI, and the related database operation, and the related test, I want it to follow my standard. how do I do that?

I'm using #Claude and #Windsurf in a new way (for me). First I ask Claude to break down a code change for me into steps. then for each step I ask Claude to create a prompt for that change. and then I paste that prompt into windsurf. so far it is working very well.

I am learning the Temporal Python SDK This may be the simplest example of creating and managing workflows. This is an easy intro, and @temporal.io provides much more sophisticated code to continue learning form.

In retrospect, producing valid facts is one of the things that may be particularly hard for both auto-regressive generation and small size models.

Why do health care companies try to solicit PII on the phone, when they have called me? Cigna just called - and an automated voice asked me to provide my DOB and last 4 SSN digits. Cigna is training people to give away information. Bad practice.
