I really didn't expect the models to be so good at writing Java of all things.
Here's a fun thing to try out: ask Amp or any other agent to write a web server using only Java 25, the stdlib, functional style with pattern matching, recrods, reactive streams.
Successfully set up and deployed Miniflux (miniflux.app) as my newsreader backend. Trying out ReadKit (readkit.app) as my frontend for iOS next. Really excited that blogs have a small revival at the moment! Does anybody have a recommendation for Android?
Over two hours, this was the longest run so far. Telling Claude Code to fix unit and lint tests after each ticket seems to cause longer runs. Let's see if it also means better quality.
Thanks to @steipete for publishing his epic 3 hour video, that got me started! And thanks to @mitsuhiko for sharing his experiences with Go and LLMs. It's the best language for agentic coding, at least for web apps. And all this written while Claude executes with project-manager
I learned how BubbleTea uses the elm architecture, I had time to read that up and understand it. Also had no pain setting up the whole project, which is usually tough when coming to a new language. It's working software in the end, that's what is most important to me here.
My learning focussed on other things than writing actual Go code, it's more high level than without Claude. For example, I discovered a neat feature called report cards, a grading system for code. Claude managed to get a B on the first try, then an A+. Eat that, vibecode haters!
Yay, my first tests run with project-manager successfully went through, I use it every day now. It's a small terminal tool to sequentially execute a bunch of Claude Code jobs from a predefined description. It's open source, here is my thinking behind it... github.com/stefanmunz/pro…
Today on the menu: Letting Claude Code try to install the latest TheRock nightlies on my AMD AI 395 machine to see if he has any luck getting the GPU to work under Linux for llm inference. It's really a pity that AMD has great hardware but bad drivers...
