@bcherny /voice is not available for me

15/ Use /voice to enable voice input Fun fact: I do most of my coding by speaking to Claude, rather than typing. To do the same, run /voice in CLI then hold the space bar, press the voice button on Desktop, or enable dictation in your iOS settings.

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most. Here goes.

@daniel_mac8 Good with grill-me skill

This is amazing. Do this.

@mitsuhiko Is Wispr flow doing anything fishy stuff? I went with that considering popularity

There is VoiceInk and there is Handy. Is there more? What's your favorite Open Source dictation app and why?

@MingtaKaivo @dvassallo Yeah API first design is what people are building on top of and that includes CLIs as well

@dvassallo Nah — the real shift is API-first. Natural language will stay the dominant interface for non-builders.

Soon: Everything is CLI

@ibuildthecloud You got a new Mac mini or what

I'm becoming fascinated with OpenClaw.

the best feature of ghostty is that I can dictate there, saves me some time

@jjanezhang This was the best thing I remember from the last blog. Thank you for all your writings.

Some days I wake up, and I feel at rest. Like Newton’s first law—an object at rest stays at rest. I feel still in my life. I feel calm. I take care of my health. I take care of my friends and family. That’s all there is. Today, I woke up to some mild stomach pain. Not too bad. I committed to going on a hiking trip with some of my friends, so I got to their house 15 minutes before the agreed departure time, and together we hiked Point Reyes. I drank plenty of water. I only had a spoon of the buffalo milk ice cream as to not further upset my stomach. On the car ride there and back, we talked about how we’ve changed, how we played as children, and what we wanted to teach our own. The views were gorgeous. But even then, my care for my body and my friends painted my Sunday. This is my life. If I blink a couple more times, I’ll wake up at 7am. I’ll eat a hard boiled egg and sip on some ginseng tea. I’ll drive my kids to Chinese school and run multiplication tables with them. I’ll call my mom while I sit in the car, waiting for school to end. And when she runs out of topics, I’ll bask in the sun glowing from the car windshield and read my partner’s writing. Caring for myself, caring for my loved ones comes naturally. I’m human. Some days I wake up, and I feel in motion. Yesterday, I ran my four mile half marathon training run while listening to Stephen King’s Carrie. I ran home, I showered, I sat at my desk. I read the sticky note my sister put on my monitor: “Lazy work creates lazy outcomes. Crazy work creates crazy outcomes. Be crazy.” I looked at my screen. My eyes didn’t immediately focus. My scarred left eye overlaid blurred text over my right eye’s crisp letters. I sighed, I felt sad. I breathed in, I felt motivated. I remembered my conversation with my doctor. The one who told me that I’m lucky for how well I recovered. The same one who told me there was no way to cure my vision. No research he saw that was promising. No hope I could latch on to. I thought about the other people. A handful of my closest friends, some strangers in a Facebook group. They were told the same thing about their illnesses. I didn’t need a McKinsey market sizing exercise to know that I wasn’t alone. I felt that no one was going to advocate for us safely, with high integrity and care, with deftness in applying AI, if not me. I opened my project to help people fight through multi-month recoveries. I worked until midnight. Some days, I wake up, and I feel inertia. My priorities are straight enough that I’m rarely in motion and fail to be at rest. But sometimes, I am at rest and feel resistant to being in motion. I feel happy just being with my people. Around them, I feel gentle, patient, and kind. A cat that tip toes across the room and curls up beside you. A running brook, flowing quietly amongst trees. And in this moment, I feel distant from the part of me. The part that is eager, exasperated, ablaze. A dog that leads the chase. A canyon wall, reaching into the sky. But I know she’s there.

@tedsumers No

Come work with me! job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs…

@jjanezhang I understand and it’s a struggle. Almost all of us have that kind corporate tone because being too real there is bad in long term

As I've grown older, I've learned to enjoy my global and local personalities. A personality that I become when I converse with the world and a personality that I become when I converse with my family and friends. The former is confident, enthusiastic, outspoken, and fighting. The latter is quiet, caring, gentle, and kind. One of the fun parts of my life is being and playing with both.

@ibuildthecloud Try me!

Collaborating with people is extremely difficult for me. Like very, very, very hard.

@ibuildthecloud Yeah it’s just instead of README.md start calling it agent.md and hope they GitHub starts rendering that as default a day

Skills are just a markdown file. A readme is a skill, your existing docs are a skill. Stop trying to turn a super basic thing into some obfuscated concept. Just logically organize info in markdown that AI can reference. Done, that's it, nothing special.

@testedoktharun So how are you?

If you have founder friends, please check up on them. You don't know what those idiots are going through. Be kind to them. I slept for 5 hours straight in the evening, one of my founder friends called me to check up on me, randomly. He told, last month you were struggling. Just wanted to check if any everything is fine this month.

@pritika_9 I guess you’re right

We romanticize friendship from childhood but the truth is they worked because we saw each other all the time. Friendships in adulthood require effort, showing up, checking in, making plans. Passive friendships don’t survive.

@gaxrav We’re hiring in case you want to join us.

your office is a graveyard of geniuses who didn’t have enough courage.

@keerthanpg My passion project is todo list app (that’s the threshold of my passion)

It’s been like 2 months since Claude code and while everyone’s talking about being 10x-ed and writing xxxx more likes of code, I’m yet to see a lot of impactful passion projects. May be our world really is ideas bottlenecked?

@iximiuz One man army!!

After a couple of weeks of sleepless nights and restless days, I've finally shipped the new iximiuz Labs plans & pricing. The good news is that it's both cheaper and more flexible. Now you can choose between playground-only, content-only, and the bundle plans - something many people have asked about. Last but not least, the pricing page has become much more informative - it now outlines a bunch of playground use cases, explains the main formats of the learning materials, has the new "for authors" and "for instructors" sections, and more. labs.iximiuz.com/pricing

@LivingTricks_ I’ll bite each one of them back one by one 😈

Pack of dogs coming for you! What will you do?

@ibuildthecloud Have you heard of jj uncle?

be careful children, git is a dangerous tool.

@OnTheGrapevine What the hell is grapevine?

@sumitsaurabh Fuck you and blocking you immediately

I can’t afford , but if you can , leave this country for yourself and your family .
