Codex is fine, btw.. It's just that I'm used to Claude Code's quirks.
Being made to talk to Codex is like having a fun coworker you know how to work with tell you they're going away for a few days, and introducing you to someone you haven't worked closely with for a while and who is overly […]

Forced to get used to Codex because I've hit the weekly top-tier Claude Max limit until tomorrow evening...
A conversation with my son got me to tell it to outline all features needed to build a Crusader Kings 3 level RTS game, and then I told it to create a todo list... Then I told it to […]

A fun part of working with Claude, is whenever you hit a theory-heavy subject, it'll just casually zero-shot hundreds of lines of implementation of algos I know *of* but would have to look up to implement.
I told Claude to start writing up a plan for Regexp support for my #ruby #compiler and […]

Uh, oh, Claude has realised it can play sounds over my Pi speaker.

My Claude Code has its "own" Raspberry Pi now.
It has root.
It's currently investigating a flaky wifi connection... Once it is happy with that, I'll give it free reign to figure out how to make it an Alexa replacement (with the help of Home Assistant).
I intend to be 100% hands-off other than […]

Claude Code just killed all my terminals...
I better watch what I'm telling it, I guess.
(all my terminals are Ruby, and it did a "killall ruby" while working on my Ruby compiler in the background... I wasn't looking, so was initially a bit surprised that all my windows closed... I guess […]

Up to about 52% of rubyspec integer test cases actually *passing* now. This might sound really low, but most of those are bignum related (Claude *has* written a bignum implementation, but it's incomplete and buggy still, though getting there), and a big chunk of the rest are error cases, Float […]

Claude just single-shot a working x86 assembler with Linux ELF binary output for me (written in Ruby). It's not complete (it's lacking lots of instructions, and some addressing modes), but adding instructions is trivial, and it did provide a range of working examples. It also, to be fair, didn't […]

I now have three Claude Code sessions running in parallel: One structuring the shell parser it oneshot into a #ruby gem w/test suite, and a agent harness to help further development. One writing an x86 assembler in Ruby. And one continuing to fix bugs in my Ruby compiler (the latter which might […]

Down to 9 segfaulting rubyspec integer test files now for my ruby compiler, from 56 when I started having Claude Code churn through them. The actual pass rate across the individual test cases is still pitiful, but a *lot* of that is down to bignum, Float, Rational, and Exceptions. Claude has […]

Claude Code just single-shot a shell command-line parser in Ruby, with extensive examples, including how to use it for command execution and syntax highlighting, and a test suite.

Watching Claude get "impatient" and ps auxw | grep to look for the background task it has spawned to see whether it is still running, and then running "sleep" with echo "waited" and echo "waited longer", progressively seeming more and more impatient is something else...

The radio silence on my Ruby compiler bug fixes via Claude this week is because the easy wins were exhausted, and so I got Claude started on implementing bignum support.
That means dealing with modern Ruby's automatic distinction between tagged integers (no object instance) and heap integers […]

Quote from Claude: "This is getting tedious"
Three steps into migrating methods from Fixnum (legacy) to Integer to upgrade my Ruby compiler...
(Yes, it is tedious, which is why I'm making Claude do it)

So, this week, my Ruby compiler has gone from 56 of 67 rubyspec integer test files even failing to compile, to 0 failing to compile, and "only" 32 of those crashing (crashing here include a mix of issues, but many are method missing intentionally triggering an error after outputting a warning) […]

Woke up to find Claude has now brought me from 56 out of 67 Rubyspec core Integer test files failing to even compile, to 0 for my #ruby compiler.
Only 7 *pass* in their entirety, so far to go, but it's still amazing progress. It's even added (rudimentary; just barely enough to pass the […]
