AI writing makes me irrationally angry, when I use AI and tell it to avoid everything from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing and it does improve things. Banning em-dashes, and it's not x

Is this content good? There are 100's of links here, has a smart human reviewed each one? Or was this list compiled with an LLM's help?

I think AI tooling has actually reminded us how useful the terminal really is. running claude code, running formatters and linters and test suites, managing incremental work with git etc. Are all vital in the modern way we write code. I don

If you're not reasoning, are you back to telling non-reasoning models to think step by step to break down tasks?

I went looking for the latest line of apple computers after reading this thread and I noticed they force you into the higher CPU's in order to get the higher amounts of unified memory. So not only are they content charging +$400 or +$6

Ruff solved python formatting and linting. uv solved packaging. Both were better in terms of user ergonomics and also much faster that what we used before, black, mypy, pylint etc. IDK it Typescript is too generic but TS made me think of ja

When I need to create something like a powerpoint or whatever I use claude code and invoke a claude skill that knows how to do it. Why would I use claude cowork instead of that?

If I wanted to vibe code my own macOS menu bar apps is this a good starter project to use as a template? Are there any others? Do I just not need one (claude code can do it without a starter template at all)?

Agreed, these kind of titles are very silly. FTs are actually very reasonable, in the sense that they are a easy to reason about conceptually and in practice. There's another title referenced in that link which is equally asinine: &quo

You can make a router skill that describes how to use the other skills together. I'm experimenting with this now but my core problem is still How to Make Claude Code Skills Activate Reliably. During testing today I asked a task I knew

My big gripe with skills is getting claude webapp and claude code to get them to invoke them in the right situations (often unexpected situations) without explicitly telling it directly to use skill x + skill y. Ideally I would build a bunc

The amount of people holding strong opinions on LLMs who openly admit they have not tried the state of the art tools is so high on Hacker news right now, that it's refreshing to get actual updates from the tool's creators. I read

Wait, but why? If it's really better than what we had before, what does it matter how it was made? It's literally hacked together with the tools of the day (LLMs) isn't that the very hacker ethos? Patching stuff together that

I actively don't want to use LLMs this way. I use things like claude projects on the web app and skills and stuff, and claude code heavily. I want to manually curate the context, adding memory is a anti pattern for this, I don't w
