It tackles similar kinds of problems, dealing with idiosyncrasies in Linux distros (and Mac), docker, containers, kata, firecracker, seatbelt, tart, tmux, Claude, the various terminal emulators out there, and trying to herd those cats such

But what constitutes "better than humans at working"? Zero defects? Because you can always find at least one defect. But people don't naturally think statistically, so they grasp the thing that confirms their bias and then ha

THAT must be why the stars are going up! Thanks for explaining it for me.

You consider adding in-place constructed items to an array to be code duplication?

by kstenerud 5mo ago
The issue is likely that the tmux session being generated is for some reason not propagating all term caps. Most likely it's an interop issue between tmux and docker and the image running under docker - possibly even something with the

It's more along the lines of: Anyone with an axe to grind will find something to grind it on. Early stage products will have some rough edges. We've seen that in Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, LXC, KVM, etc. And people griped and

Hey that's fine. You're free to make whatever judgment you wish. But I still stand by the quality of my code, including here. You and I don't need to agree. What decades of managing codebases (public and private, huge and sma

That's interesting. As I said I haven't tried using LLMs at this level, although I'm about to embark on some this week. What I've found helps (at least at the other layers) is to have principles documents and standards d

I haven't done any CSS/HTML/JS level work with Claude yet. I've mainly been using it for systems level stuff. LLMs have traditionally had problems with visual rendering (the good ol' pelican on the bicycle test). I

Feel free to open a bug report if it bothers you. Or a PR. Or feel free to avoid the tool entirely if this UI issue shakes your faith in its overall quality down to its very foundations. This is hardly a hill to die on.

by kstenerud 5mo ago
Claude Code will automatically "dumb" the TUI down a bit when it can't properly detect certain terminal capabilities, to avoid potential font rendering issues. Likely there are some terminal caps that aren't being proper

The UI is working properly. Interfering with Anthropic's UI, or any of the other agent harness' UIs it supports, would be madness incarnate. I also strongly suspect that you'd only taken a cursory glance at the top of the rea

Absolutely! I find its test generation, properly steered, to be top notch. In many ways it's like having a second head, because it'll spontaneously come up with test paths that I'd normally only get to after a month or so in

You do realize that you're complaining about the Claude Code TUI, right? That's not what this product is; merely a tool it uses.

The polarization comes from the very disparate coding experiences and output quality that different people find when using these tools. For example, I've had the opposite experience of yours, generating very high quality work using Cla
