Every few weeks a thread blows up: "Is Claude Code getting worse?" Someone swears Opus got lazy after an update; someone else says it's placebo. The arguments are always vibes — nobody posts numbers. So I built a tracker. For ~95 days it's logged the daily SWE-Bench-Pro pass rate for Claude Code and
Everyone is collecting prompts. The people getting real results are building something else. Over the holidays last year, something shifted in how I use Claude Code. For months I had treated it like a very smart autocomplete. Open the terminal, type a request, read the answer, repeat. It worked. I s
Putting The Status Line To Work I used to think the Claude Code status line was just an ornamental decoration that had little practical value. I still do - but I used to, too. But even though it's officially designed for display purposes, the status line is actually a rich data source. At the time o
The question comes up often: do you really use Claude differently depending on your subscription? On Max $200, should you use Opus at maximum effort all the time, or is there a smarter way to work? Short answer: yes, the workflow changes. Not just because of the model — because of budget psychology.
At a recent event, someone asked me two questions. I could not answer them well at the time: How do you decide which tasks to give to Claude Code, and which ones to do yourself? And are you afraid that the AI will do all the creative work, so your only job becomes managing agents? I gave a generic a
Who better to copy than the team shipping it every day?
This week, solo researcher Udit Akhouri took to r/ClaudeCode on Reddit to launch a new third-party Agent SDK tool with The post Researcher “gave Claude Code ‘ADHD’… and it thinks 2x better now.” Outside experts want more proof. appeared first on The New Stack.
Claude Code cleaned up my messy 3D printing workflow, but the bigger lesson was knowing where to stop automating.
Claude Code forgets everything between sessions. You explain your project, your architecture, your preferences and next session it's ground zero again. I spent 45 minutes setting this up manually. Debugging ports, copying tokens, configuring MCP servers by hand. Then days debugging the Smart Connect
Anthropic appears to be preparing for the public rollout of the Mythos model, which was announced in April as a restricted model that poses major security risks to private and public software. [...]
The dotfiles piece from May 22 named hooks as one component of a personal AI stack and moved on. They deserve more than a passing mention. Hooks are the primitive that turns taste into code — the editor's auto-format-on-save for AI work, run on the agent's actions instead of yours. Anthropic's hooks
I run Claude Code and Codex CLI side by side a lot. The coding part is great — the annoying part is everything around it. Which terminal is waiting for an approval? Which session is still working, and which one quietly finished ten minutes ago? Tabbing between terminal windows just to hit "yes" got
Claude Code does not care where the model lives. Point it at a local model and it works with no network. I tested that at 35,000 feet, picked the wrong model first, and swapped mid-flight. Claude Code reads two environment variables to decide where its model lives. Point them at Ollama and it runs f
I've been using Bun for a while and kept running into the same problem: every SQL library either requires Node.js internals, leans heavily on an ORM abstraction I don't want, or generates types from a schema file at build time. So I built squn — a lightweight, type-safe SQL query library that works
What if your AI coding assistant had a personality, ran entirely on your GPU, and could work through a complex multi-file task without you touching the keyboard — while you watched every thought stream live to your browser? That's what I built. This is how it works. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, a
The AI industry has fully entered the "agent era," a paradigm where AI models do far more than generate text — they now actively plan, execute, and course-correct complex tasks over days rather than seconds. Thus, it's perhaps unsurprising to see Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's famed Qwen Team of
The Chinese AI lab already powers coding agents worldwide. Now it wants to own the tool developers use to run them.
Authored by Conall Heffernan In this post, I'll walk through how to integrate Anthropic's Claude Code monitoring with Bronto so you can get a clear, unified view of your AI tool usage — all in one place. This project came out of our recent company AI sprint — a chance for me, as a technical support
Claude Code hooks turn agent preferences into deterministic workflow gates. Instead of asking an LLM to remember "do not run risky shell commands" or "format files after edits," you can attach scripts to lifecycle events and make the rule execute every time the event fires. That matters because codi
The problem isn't your prompts If you're running Claude Code, Codex, opencode, or openclaw and the API bill keeps climbing, you've probably tried writing tighter prompts. That's not where the waste is. Four structural patterns account for most of the token spend in a typical session: Screenshots at
