Very interesting! This has a gem in the documentation: Using the tool itself as a CI check. I hadn't considered unresolved comments by say a person, or CodeRabbit or similar tool being a CI status failure. That's an excellent idea

Depends on the build toolchain but usually you'd hash the dependency file and that hash is your cache key for a folder in which you keep your dependencies. You can also make a Docker image containing all your dependencies but usually d

10x to 1x. Usually 1.5x, maybe. Each situation has a different bottleneck, and it's almost never how fast you can write lines of code. You would need: All engineers aligned on AI use. Invested in automating your: unit tests, integratio

I find writing a good CLAUDE.md is done by running /init, and having the LLM write it. If you need more controls on how it should work, I would highly recommend you implement it in an unavoidable way via hooks and not in a handwritten

It's true, when I was working with LLMs on a novel idea it said sorry I can't help you with that!

I'm aware of the issues around rules as in a default prompt. I had hoped the author of the blog meant a different mechanism when they mentioned "steering rules". I do mean something different, where an agent will self-correct

This is the first time I see "steering rules" mentioned. I do something similar with Claude, curious how it looks for them and how they integrate it with Q/Kiro.

All I know is I'm on the Claude Code 5x max plan and it works on my machine.

Tried it in Claude Code via /config, makes it feel like I'm running on Cerebras. It's seriously fast, bottleneck is on human review at this point.

I really like this and we're doing a similar approach but instead using Claude Code hooks. What's really nice about this style of whitelisting is that you can provide context on what to do instead; Let's say if `terraform app

by philipp-gayret 1y ago
Since reading I can --continue I do the same. If I find it's missing something after compressing context I'll just make it re-read a plan or CLAUDE.md

by philipp-gayret 1y ago
Can't agree with the formula for performance, on the "/ size" part. You can have a huge codebase, but if the complexity goes up with size then you are screwed. Wouldn't a huge but simple codebase be practical and fi

by philipp-gayret 1y ago
I very often hear from developers at clients I work with that code they (not me) generate with AI is not of enough "quality". So I ask them what quality means. So far, I only get the most basic feedback: it should be in X style, p

If LLMs were next to free and faster I would personally increase my consumption 100x or more and Im only the "programming" category.

Well, that was the author's intent. The prompt was: > Hey, can you make me a programming language like Golang but all the lexical keywords are swapped so they're Gen Z slang?

How does this compare with Claude Code's native OTEL reporting? Having a quick look at the codebase it looks like it parses your local Claude Code JSON files, why?

Bleeper or Beeper ( https://www.beeper.com )? Beeper is an app like you describe, can't find Bleeper. And it's by Automattic which I think have an OK reputation for not destroying their products.

What metric would you measure to determine whether a fully AI-based flow is better than a competent human engineer? And how much would you like to bet?

by philipp-gayret 1y ago
Agree on that it should be composable. Even better if MCP tooling wouldn't yield huge amounts of output that pollutes the context and the output of one can be input to the next, so indeed that may as well be code. Would be nice if ther
