A git worktree directory contains a .git that just references the original directory’s .git, and Zed doesn’t support this configuration. So, there just isn’t any representation of change tracking when working in a worktree directory.

Cool. If Zed supported git worktree diff highlighting, I'd be using it.

Interesting. For Claude Code, this seems to have generous overlap with existing practice of having markdown "guides" listed for access in the CLAUDE.md. Maybe skills can simply make managing such guides more organized and declarat

If you are running a business with limited funding (which is most businesses), then your primary need is to seek profit in a world where profit is often never achieved at all. Otherwise, your business ceases to exist, along with your app. S

That’s a pretty bold statement. Look at the most popular apps, and you will see across Android and iOS that the designs across platforms are more similar than they are different. We only have 2 engineers right now, but we still maintain cle

2025 feels like a cardinal year for top-down decisions we all just have to endure for the present. The best we can do is bitch loudly and often, and hope the people at the top still feel threatened by consumers/constituents. This Liqui

I run it from within a dev container. I never had issues with yolo mode before, but if it somehow decided to use the gcloud command (for instance) and affected the production stack, it’s my ass on the line.

This is a good takeaway. I use Claude Code as my main approach for making changes to a codebase, and I’ve been doing so every day for months. I have a solid system I follow through trial and error, and overall it’s been a massive boon to my

I adopted a couple practices (using dev containers and worktrees) just to make life a little easier. I also built my own shell script “framework” to help manage the worktrees and create project files. However, that took me just a couple day

I've found that when I work this kind of long hours for an extended period, I get far too attached to what I'm building and have a difficult time accepting that I need to change anything. Likely this happens because I've sacr

Oh I agree. So many people lump all AI coding under the same "vibe code" definition, so I am constantly trying to differentiate.

Yeah that’s dumb. I read a decent amount, but it’s all Kindle or Readwise. Why should I carry a book or e-reader around when I’m already carrying a phone or other similar device?

I have a basic rule: understand and agree with every line of code in a PR I’m responsible for generating (manually or via agent). This simple act prevents 99% of AI-related bullshit code.

I use Cursor with Claude Code running in the integrated terminal (within a dev container in yolo mode). I'll often have multiple split terminals with different Claude Code instances running on their own worktrees. I keep Cursor around

I believe many of these agents will not operate on files included in a gitignored file, which helps with sensitive assets like .env files. Definitely worth confirming. Either way, don’t open such a file and ask the agent questions about it.

For me, flow state can be achieved through the true multitasking that agentic coding allows. Start an agent on a task, then set up another agent for another task. While one is working, the other usually needs feedback or tweaking. I run Cla

I've been using Claude Code professionally for the past 2 months, with limited agent use prior to that (via Windsurf). I would say I've seen a 30% boost in productivity overall, with significant spikes in particular types of work.

I believe they just meant that tests are easy to generate for eng review and modification before actually committing to the codebase. Nothing else is a dependency on an individual test (if done correctly), so it's comparatively cheap t

I think it’s just different than flow state you experience with traditional coding. I agree that if you’re just entering a single prompt at a time and waiting for it to finish, there’s no way you can enter flow state. However, if you are or
