@rishavvk @trq212 Maybe you can just symlink your AGENTS.md to CLAUDE.md to solve the issue easily.

@trq212 interesting, it told me i never use a CLAUDE.md & am not leveraging custom instructions, but I'd assumed it would read my AGENTS.md as a fallback.

We've added a new command to Claude Code called /insights When you run it, Claude Code will read your message history from the past month. It'll summarize your projects, how you use Claude Code, and give suggestions on how to improve your workflow.

@abhitwt C, C++, Ruby, Java. Ruby (and Rails) had the best DX, would love to work with it again.

Programming language you learned once and never touched again?

@DmytroKrasun "Converging to a specific plan" is the human's job. If you keep telling them to improve the plan, they will always find something to improve, no matter how minor it is. There's always an optimization. The human decides what's enough.

I asked Opus to write a feature plan and then asked GPT to improve it. It found flaws and proposed improvements. But then I asked Opus to improve the improved plan and again sent the result to GPT. And they kept finding issues and improving it... Why doesn't the process converge at some polished version?

scare a developer with two words

@luke_drago_ @MisalignedModel I am building a product in the outbound hiring space, and I can second that inbound hiring is in fact broken. We have recruiters swimming in hundreds of applications - of which 80% is AI slop. Honest cover letters and a crisp resume helps.

1) don't use chatgpt for responses to company-specific questions. when 100 people send the same response, it's hard to get excited. 2) clear resumes with fewer words. walls of text are hard to parse. 3) seems counterintuitive, but (at least for us) be more casual with your tone. it's easier to tell that a human is writing it. 4) try not to say generic stuff. i guess it's hard to know what's generic, but "i resonate with your mission" followed by a cookie-cutter repeating of the mission doesn't tell me much about you. 5) be bold! the best cover letter i ever received was a 1 pager that just said "you're prioritizing X wrong, I can do X, you need to hire me." used plain language, diagnosed a problem, made it clear they could solve it, and was not afraid of offending us. that person is contracting with us now. one thing to note: my advice is for my company, which is a startup research lab in the AI space that skews zoomer. i can imagine this advice working against you in other industries.

an underrated fact: ai has destroyed the inbound hiring process. we get hundreds of applications from job boards, and it all sounds exactly the same. it makes it impossible to differentiate between candidates.

@MisalignedModel @thdxr Hahaha, appreciate the shout-out. Would love to connect and potentially refer some folks for this since I'm swamped with my current work.

@thdxr @Saunved is your goat

we are looking for a really good react native dev appreciate any referrals

@MisalignedModel @vedang @_svs_ @kiran_kulkarni @MisalignedModel I'll check it out soon. However, with Claude Pro + Code Code, I don't actually need any API keys. It works as soon as I log into my Claude account and the billing is part of my Pro subscription. Does OpenCode work the same way with Claude? Don't want to pay extra

@MisalignedModel @vedang @_svs_ @kiran_kulkarni You can use fnm and have it automatically pick the correct node version based on the .nvmrc file in the directory whenever the shell starts.

I'm so pissed off with node breakage impacting my MCP setup that I'm thinking of finally going down the Nix rabbit hole. Please point me to your best Nix noob-friendly guide.

@MisalignedModel @vedang @_svs_ @kiran_kulkarni Also @vedang if you buy Claude Pro the Claude Code subscription is now bundled with it. You don't have to pay for the tokens anymore. I've been using it extensively for the last 2 weeks, and I haven't reached any token limits yet.

@MisalignedModel @pk_iv @shl Kind of reductive, but makes for a good meme I guess

...okay @pk_iv @shl

@MisalignedModel I tried this and got a lowkey burn: "You're listing a lot of good work — but most bullets read like a changelog." 😹

@Saunved "can you critique my resume? what should i add / remove to get an internship or a job?" and then kept asking it to be more and more honest chatgpt.com/share/67fbde1b…

Asked ChatGPT to review my resume Ouch

...the true magic of usable, lovable software lies in your curiosity to change the very defaults that you are comfortable with. saunved.com/tech/the-myth-…

Do you like to customize your apps and tools to suit your needs or do you mostly stick to the defaults?

@MisalignedModel What did they ask you? Standard Leetcode or something else?

Fumbled another interview today. I hate coding while other people watch. Just give me a take home assignment please

This thread summarizes the issue perfectly: stackoverflow.com/a/41573588 8 tangled things instead of 1 thing that always works. 😔

Why is it that every time I'm setting up an open source project locally, it's usually a Python dependency or Python version that results in failure to setup? It doesn't happen for JS, Go, or Rust, but almost always for Python. How do Python devs deal with this?

@MisalignedModel :(

false alarm guys, I am still without a summer internship

not to jinx anything, but i might've landed an internship at an AI lab through (shit)posting on X - the everything app just waiting on compensation deets before finalizing everything, needed to get it out of my system (yay)

@allenytics - Opportunities are linked to where you are and who you know, as opposed to how old you are. - You'll never feel like you're "there". There's always more to do and more to learn (and that's a good thing). - Being good at everything is overrated. Being skewed can make you great.

I'm turning 26 soon, I don't *feel* 26 I don't think I've achieved nearly enough People older than me, any life advice?
