I’ve seen Tidewave using my schemas and querying the database directly.

Yeah, I tend to be a minimalist… so far fewer but really nice. I think when we hopefully sell this current company I’m going to sell at least one of these and just have one that is the best of both, a ceramic/rose gold omega seamaster. I think that’s one watch that could fit in anywhere.

What are these “batteries” you speak of?

Two incredibles make a credible.

What @alexhillman.com said.

Gettin’ high on that Codex C-L-I.

I sometimes feel like that meme from narcos when using it, but it crunched away for over an hour and found the exact three lines of code to delete to fix a bug me and none of the other robots could figure out. As soon as I saw the diff it was obvious.

I always have them submit code reviews, which helps some, because I read everything in a separate context, but knowing they don’t read whole files means I occasionally just scroll through whole files and do special full codebase sweeps with a second LLM as a sanity check.

Outlast the Lunatic was my favorite game show back in the 2010s.

Was it “get it printed on a t-shirt and wear it for a year straight and see if you still want to wear it after a year?”

Dammit, you mention the wrinkle literally two minutes after I sent this. I thought I waited long enough.

I see the slash commands as the hold it by the back of the neck with a stern "no really, do this", so I'm not really sure how significant the CLAUDE file is.

I have two slash commands I iterate on over and over... 400x in the last month with dropsafe.app. Works great.

Yeah, what I was saying was Claude has more context about itself than o3, so it can write instructions for itself better. “Claude, you keep forgetting I want short commit messages, why?” … “Claude.md says x, but /squash says y…, so I do neither.”

Have you tried having Claude code write custom commands for Claude code? I ask him to write them in a way that is most efficient for him and to make sure there are no contradictions between the slash commands and clause.md

Ex github.com/r38y/dot-cla...

Wishlist: existing private repos, postres so migrations are portable to production, queue up messages to be processed “oh, make that button sentence case” right away instead of waiting, display the messages I send with newlines.

It kind of seems like there are going to be a lot more one off apps. You no longer have to shop around todo apps because everyone is missing one critical feature. Just make exactly what you need, it’s fast and cheap.

Haha, yeah, I think one of the reasons I like Claude is… they have three models. And it’s easy to tell the difference. When I run out of Opus credits it turns into someone I have to keep telling “stop guessing and read the page I gave you” over and over.

Yeah, Claude 4 is the first one I’ve really dug into, and really like it. I had a blog post draft a few weeks ago about how I feel like the way I develop software is like whittling. It feels even more so now, so I have to update it 😂

Or maybe generate a raw 1.7 app with some scaffolding, ask it to upgrade Tailwind, then ask it what instructions I should give it in the future to do it again. Same with upgrading Phoenix?

I got close with Tailwind, it couldn’t figure out how to import a css file from a hex package, and neither could I at 2AM.

For Phoenix, I wonder if feeding it a raw 1.8 app with auth generated would help show it the right direction 🤔
