Oh that’s what it is. I thought it was something I said. He can be so sensitive sometimes.

The negative space—what we don’t do—also says a lot about who we are

The microwave is a place where I can put my yogurt in the morning while I’m doing momentary childcare tasks so my cat doesn’t eat it

The question is, what are your documents? They’re not code, is it a text representation of the ast? Or function signatures plus summaries? How does it get chunked? I think some people do it well, but it’s annoyingly tricky to do well

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!

My son will only poop on the toilet with me hugging him and sometimes he pees on me. 10/10.

Unless they want the site to have no real content then it’s perfectly sensible. Just a “gone fishing” sign

Our minds are so fucking poorly adapted to the century we’re living in. It’s outrageous.

Ever wake up realizing that there’s a better way to write that spec you wrote a year ago at your last job?

If you’re talking to someone who understands spreadsheet references that can be a useful metaphor

I just realized that all the time I was spending on TikTok I’m now spending vibe coding all my silly ideas

wait is Severance about docker??

severance and silo are both stories about leaky abstractions

I love that as a visual for a codebase!

It’d be nice to do it from within the cli. Could be a slash command

I’ve had some luck checking out a branch, letting it run wild, then looking at the monstrosity as a sort of exploration of the sticky points. Then I get it to help me write a prompt to figure out each sticky point. It sometimes works great. And sometimes not.

claude code tip: take screenshots every time you have to give it instructions. those can sometimes turn into bullet points in your claude.md

turns out you can get Claude Code to take out the shit comments it added. Just ask it to thoroughly look at every test file and consider if each comment adds semantic value to a reader.

i feel like with claude code we're close to the final goal of coding in the shower.

Oh, I thought where you were going was spatial hyperlinks where you can scroll over to an anchor

it really feels like Claude Code could get a lot more out of the typescript AST

while you're working with Claude Code / Aider / whatever, there needs to be a way to keep track of shit you see that's wrong but you don't want to fix right now because it'll get the LLM off track. Like push to my cleanup queue before the next commit

"we haven't written a unit test in a while, buddy"

this is how claude code and i have gotten to talking

Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek TNG

it's weird that they never wrestled with the prospect of mass produced and nearly free Datas

yeah it could absolutely be implemented in a react component lib. i think what i'm saying that may or may not be coming across is that it should be able to express quite a lot about interaction patterns with very few chars. These react UI libs are designed for real software. The DSL wouldn't be

Great question! I think xml tags and arguments could be a fine way to do it but html is too much of a pain in the ass to write and doesn't have quite enough semantic sugar to work. i'm thinking something with a much higher concentration of intent per unit code

it really feels like there should be a wireframe DSL that these LLMs can spit out. Like mermaid basically but for UIs
