@simonw Enjoyed your post, "Thoughts on slowing the fuck down." I've been of a similar mind this week! dannypeck.com/ai-slop-is-a-c…

@claudeai @grok I'm on latest Claude Desktop (MacOS) with a Pro account and don't see the option to enable it. What am I doing wrong?

You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk. Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only.

AI slop is the default outcome, but it's also a choice. the tools don't make you lazy: you make you lazy. slow down, read the code, understand what's actually happening. your reputation is on the line every time you ship. dannypeck.com/ai-slop-is-a-c…

@Cursor fix my life!

@Yampeleg Sonnet 4.5 and Sonnet 4.6 are the same price. Why not use Sonnet 4.6?

Current stack: - Pi for everything. - GPT-5.4 for everything code. - Gemini-3.1 for design/brainstorming. - Sonnet 4.5-no-thinking for openclaw. - GLM-5 for parallel swarms. - Opus 4.6 for everything else. Currently Testing: Minimax-2.7.

Big shout out to @paulo_kombucha and masko.ai for the Mascot creator :)

I've come to really enjoy my little "Mana: Claude Code Companion" utility. Built for MacOS, it floats on top of your windows and reacts to Claude Code and opencode activity via hooks. Open sourced here: github.com/dep/mana-claud…

@roeymiterany @milesdeutscher @bcherny thank you. this trend of posting images containing loads of text is super annoying

Extracted content. Here you go 🤘 ### 1. Plan Node Default - Enter plan mode for ANY non-trivial task (3+ steps or architectural decisions) - If something goes sideways, STOP and re-plan immediately - don't keep pushing - Use plan mode for verification steps, not just building - Write detailed specs upfront to reduce ambiguity --- ### 2. Subagent Strategy - Use subagents liberally to keep main context window clean - Offload research, exploration, and parallel analysis to subagents - For complex problems, throw more compute at it via subagents - One task per subagent for focused execution --- ### 3. Self-Improvement Loop - After ANY correction from the user: update `tasks/lessons.md` with the pattern - Write rules for yourself that prevent the same mistake - Ruthlessly iterate on these lessons until mistake rate drops - Review lessons at session start for relevant project --- ### 4. Verification Before Done - Never mark a task complete without proving it works - Diff behavior between main and your changes when relevant - Ask yourself: "Would a staff engineer approve this?" - Run tests, check logs, demonstrate correctness --- ### 5. Demand Elegance (Balanced) - For non-trivial changes: pause and ask "is there a more elegant way?" - If a fix feels hacky: "Knowing everything I know now, implement the elegant solution" - Skip this for simple, obvious fixes - don't over-engineer - Challenge your own work before presenting it --- ### 6. Autonomous Bug Fixing - When given a bug report: just fix it. Don't ask for hand-holding - Point at logs, errors, failing tests - then resolve them - Zero context switching required from the user - Go fix failing CI tests without being told how --- ## Task Management 1. **Plan First**: Write plan to `tasks/todo.md` with checkable items 2. **Verify Plan**: Check in before starting implementation 3. **Track Progress**: Mark items complete as you go 4. **Explain Changes**: High-level summary at each step 5. **Document Results**: Add review section to `tasks/todo.md` 6. **Capture Lessons**: Update `tasks/lessons.md` after corrections --- ## Core Principles - **Simplicity First**: Make every change as simple as possible. Impact minimal code - **No Laziness**: Find root causes. No temporary fixes. Senior developer standards

The guy who created Claude Code ( @bcherny ) recently leaked how his team uses Claude. One CLAUDE.md that you drop into your project. Inside: past errors, conventions, rules - Claude reads it every session. Boris uses this every day at Anthropic:

@WalkaboutMG One of the best yet. Well done.

@andreifilip96 @sashank_ps @thekitze I've enabled that and still don't see them 😭

@sashank_ps @thekitze Go to chrome://flags and then search for Vertical tabs

latest stable chrome has vertical and pinned tabs it's time for the final 3 users to abandon The Jira Browser Of New York™️

@corywilkerson @Cloudflare Really good to hear man <3

🍊 It's been 90 days for me at @Cloudflare ... 👇 Here's what has surprised me • There's very little ceremony or overhead when it comes to shipping, everyone is here to build • Cloudflare is extremely high agency — there's alignment but it's just enough and most of it exists to unblock folks • Management is very technical up and down the hierarchy, every leader / manager here talks in specifics • Executive tier is extremely engaged, in various channels, very responsive, knows the details • Startup mentality is pervasive; I thought we'd slow down after the Replicate acquisition but we've sped up 👇 Here's what I love • Community. Reminds me a lot of my favorite parts of GitHub. Folks here are superfans of one another's work. They want to meet & hang and we're collectively excited when someone new joins the club. • The primitives that we get to build on are excellent -- all built to be distributed at massive scale by default • Hardware! We source and build our own hardware! • We dogfood everything, you build "on platform", you have good stat sig day one! • Innovation is funded everywhere -- "what if we built this on " is just another day at the shop • We have some folks around that seem to think different/understand the internet in ways that I don't think is all that common 👇 Here's why I'm long Cloudflare • Tenure at Cloudflare is remarkably long as is the % of folks who have boomeranged back, both very bullish signals • It's a sleeper hit in the developer platform space, yes WAF and yes Cloudflare One are big businesses but we are just getting started & we are cooking in developer platform • Every team I talk to has something in the works that they're extremely excited to ship and then another thing right behind that • When I ping folks in my network to talk about Cloudflare, they are immediately responsive • The product has a lot of rough edges -- folks know, they're working on it -- it only gets better from here But don't just take it from me! I asked three colleagues what their favorite things were, here's what I got. • "The way Cloudflare empowers engineers at every level of the org to have huge impact" • "You can basically work on anything at cf, talented engineers, infra moat so its not just software, cool research and innovation that you don't really get anywhere else" • "Cloudflare has a pretty unique tech stack with a really powerful infrastructure. We're working on some really innovative things that no one else is doing. There is a lot to do -- pretty much anyone can see something needs to be done and go do it." All of that said -- I might be dm-ing some of you soon to work on some really challenging MLE stuff here at Cloudflare soon. Answer me if this sounds like your kind of thing 😜

@yiliush Are you rolling your own Obsidian basically?

Coming together pretty well

@paulo_kombucha I had a few generations fail or render a static image for the video. Would it be possible to be refunded some credits to account for those?

@dep Cool, if you need any help, let me know

My new app is live! Introducing masco.dev, a new way to build your own mascot, powered by VideoBGRemover I’m also using it for my own product marketing, and I made some cool animations and logos with it

@paulo_kombucha Ok, thanks!

@dep You export the video with hevc .mov. It is already possible with Masko and then you can use it on MacOS. It is always a bit tricky to use and depends on the platform. In a MacOS, use AVPlayer configured for transparency

@latentsauce "Note: This is not an officially supported Google product." So probably not.

is google becoming... an ai native company?

@paulo_kombucha Thanks! I love it!

@paulo_kombucha I switched things up and everything seems ok now!

@dep Yes I know it is sometime tricky, other model have less issues. Try a three seconds animation

@paulo_kombucha Weird! it's just an anime cartoon waving. Rated PG at worst?

@dep The animation got blocked by content moderation by the video model
