I'd like to answer questions about our work with the DoW and our thinking over the past few days. Please AMA.

Incidentally, how many CEOs would have the confidence to do an AMA about this topic at this moment?

anthropic beefing with the pentagon and boris is here borisifying #borisify
Boris Cherny@bcherny
In the next version of Claude Code.. We're introducing two new Skills: /simplify and /batch. I have been using both daily, and am excited to share them with everyone. Combined, these kills automate much of the work it used to take to (1) shepherd a pull request to production and (2) perform straightforward, parallelizable code migrations.

@fahd838_ yeah, this is how claude code works. i remember @bcherny saying /claude.md files load lazily, so it won't bloat anything. just keep root tight since that one always loads.

Boris Cherny@bcherny
In case it’s not clear in the docs: - Ancestor CLAUDE.md’s are loaded into context automatically on startup - Descendent CLAUDE.md’s are loaded *lazily* only when Claude reads/writes files in a folder the CLAUDE.md is in. Think of it as a special kind of skill. We designed it this way for monorepos and other big repos, tends to work pretty well in practice.
English
@bytecodecrux What if claude md just 100 lines explain the project and rules
But for each file there is md for context if need it
Is this better?
English
@iruletheworldmo theo is so right on this. read a study a while back, frontier models start breaking past ~150 instructions and the system prompt already eats into that.
cut my /claude.md to ~30 lines and yeah, works way better.

Mandy@bytecodecrux
your /CLAUDE.md is probably too long. frontier LLMs can follow ~150-200 instructions reliably. claude code's system prompt already uses ~50. that leaves you ~100-150 before it starts ignoring everything. not just the stuff at the bottom. all of it. uniformly.
English
i don't care when you watch this, now, later, tomorrow.
but you have to watch this video, there's way too much going on in ai at the moment and i'd be lost without theo. i'd been doing literally everything wrong, sigh.
he runs through some interesting papers on how to use your agents md files, skills, context management.
super super useful. watch it now, i've changed my mind, watch it right now. stop watching frame mog videos and watch this at once sir.
Theo - t3.gg@theo
You should delete your CLAUDE․md/AGENTS․md file. I have a study to prove it.

i get it. the rivalry is real but steve and bill shared a stage while trying to bury each other. holding hands for 3 seconds isn't that hard. get your shit together.
Yuchen Jin@Yuchenj_UW
This is why Sam and Dario can’t hold hands. Anthropic is on track to overtake OpenAI in revenue by mid-2026 if the trend continues according to @EpochAIResearch. The power of brutal focus on coding and enterprise.
English
the gap between people coding with AI and people who aren't isn't technical. it's a you had to be there thing
try explaining what changed to someone who hasn't. you just sound like you joined a cult and tbh they're not wrong.
James Wang@draecomino
I've followed tech for 25 years and I've never felt a larger gap between the ~1 million people using Codex/Claude and the rest of humanity.

@forloopcodes they laid off the people who understood the code and replaced them with ai that doesn't understand it either. at least it's consistent
English
I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable
microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry
they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu
the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004
copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools
windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf
the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux
over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates
nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

For that matter, Microsoft Word 2002 used about 25MB of RAM. Now Word uses 10x that much memory to display the same 584kb document. What the heck is it doing to that text now that it wasn't doing before?
