I can’t believe I waited so long to look for a solution for this problem. If like me, you want to print from your phone or iPad, but don’t have an AirPrint compatible printer (and basically none of them are). Just install this: github.com/sapireli/AirPr…

@svpino What’s worse is it uses the email: noreply@anthropic.com . That’s worse than adding an email. It’s just tagging your GitHub comments with an unreachable pseudonym.

I didn't know you could disable Claude Code attribution when committing code. To fix it, I asked Claude Code to disable attribution, and it updated the global settings. json file. No more "Co-Authored-By: AI <ai@example.com>" comments.

@Yuchenj_UW I really hate that Claude does this. I had to write my own skill + hook to prevent it from doing this.

@Austen I mean if I can just do voice mode to plan out a bunch of features and it sends a todo list to codex to knock out overnight, that’s like 100x better than the flow today.

@pmarca Yes, except for the Apple Watch Ultra when my grips hit the action button during a workout. If they could just move the buttons to one side, it would fix it.

OK then, how about this: Every Apple product I’ve ever owned, I’ve wished it had more buttons.

@PaulRBerg I just pray it was the right clipboard, yell YOLO, and hit return.

This is the most annoying thing in Claude Code. Hiding raw text when you paste more than 4 lines. Terrible UX decision.

i think we might have undersold 1M context tbh, the performance is so so good, I really just don't clear the context window much these days

WATER HEATER PAYS YOU IN BITCOIN Superheat unveils a $2,000 electric water heater that mines Bitcoin. The unit uses the same energy as a standard heater but runs ASIC miners to recoup costs, offsetting water heating bills.

@andrewchen Couldn’t disagree more! Spreadsheets take complex mathematical models and make them approachable to the Everyman. They will be a critical tool for black box, non-deterministic AI to show and explain their work!

prediction re the end of spreadsheets AI code gen means that anything that is currently modeled as a spreadsheet is better modeled in code. You get all the advantages of software - libraries, open source, AI, all the complexity and expressiveness. think about what spreadsheets actually are: they're business logic that's trapped in a grid. Pricing models, financial forecasts, inventory trackers, marketing attribution - these are all fundamentally *programs* that we've been writing in the worst possible IDE. No version control, no testing, no modularity. Just a fragile web of cell references that breaks when someone inserts a row. The only reason spreadsheets won is that the barrier to writing real software was too high. A finance analyst could learn =VLOOKUP in an afternoon but couldn't learn Python in a month. AI code gen flips that equation completely. Now the same analyst describes what they want in plain English, and gets a real application - with a database, a UI, error handling, the works. The marginal effort to go from "spreadsheet" to "software" just collapsed to near zero. this is a massive unlock. There are ~1 billion spreadsheet users worldwide. Most of them are building janky software without realizing it. When even 10% of those use cases migrate to actual code, you get an explosion of new micro-applications that look nothing like traditional software. Internal tools that used to live in a shared Google Sheet now become real products. The "shadow IT" spreadsheet that runs half the company's operations finally gets proper infrastructure. The interesting second-order effect: the spreadsheet was the great equalizer that let non-technical people build things. AI code gen is the *next* great equalizer, but the ceiling is 100x higher. We're about to see what happens when a billion knowledge workers can build real software.

Claude you're so drole. Claude.md: "validate with devtest.py before telling the user it works" will nudge future me to actually run it after making changes, not just say "this should work."

@trq212 I would much rather a feature that reviews the entire codebase, even if it has to run overnight.

Claude will literally try to crack your password with you watching to get a curl request to work rather than just ask for your password!

@Austen It’s a fair point, but really, you build them with prompts. Ask Claude to write you a PRD and it’s a hellscape of business jargon. Nobody wants that.

@0x_domechan This goes beyond taking screenshots. It can actually see and use your app. Tap, scroll, swipe, type, etc...

This is what I mean, when I say that FlowDeck allows your agent to see and interact with the iOS simulator. One shot. Claude builds a pixel-perfect app and tests all functionality by tapping, scrolling and typing. Build, run, validate, iterate. Zero human intervention.

@mwseibel It makes me wonder, should Grok just reply to every top post on its veracity automatically?

@_catwu @machinelearnflx Very buggy. I connected to a named session and it showed me what I was working on last night instead of now. Also questions for user are only showing up on the primary host. And it frequently misses new messages. But I love the direction!

@GregorySchier I always thought the value prop, was the the software provider, 1Password, and the cloud key storage mechanism (iCloud/Dropbox/etc) were different owners, so one person couldn’t mistakenly or maliciously grant access to user’s unencrypted content. Once that went away…

It's not about the 1Password price increase is it? Their software has been getting worse and worse over the past few years, and this is just the straw that broke the camel's back.
