Maybe I'm solving different problems to you, but I don't think I've seen a single "idiot moment" from Claude Code this entire week. I've had to massage things to get them more aligned with how I want things, but I don't recall any basic syntax or logic errors.

With the better harness in Claude code and the >4.5 model and a somewhat thought out workflow we’ve definitely arrived at a point where I find it very helpful. The less you can rely on one-shot and more give meaningful context and a well defined testable goal the better it is. It honestly does make me worry how much better can it get and will some percentage of devs become obsolete. It requires less hand holding than many people I’ve worked with and the results come out 100x faster

I saw a few (Claude Sonnet 4.6), easily fixed. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that when you say it has screwed up it much less likely to go down a hallucination path and can be dragged back.

Having said that, I’ve changed the way I work too: more focused chunks of work with tight descriptions and sample data and it’s like having a 2nd brain.

Very good way to describe it. I am enjoying Opus a lot.

I've been on the site for 10m, and I'm loving it. I find the interface quite confusing. I'm getting value from the theory tidbits, and the scenarios. The simulation was confusing and i just noped out. I'd say the UI is a bit too overdone


Thanks for investing 10 minutes! Hearing that the theory and scenarios provide value is huge for me.

I suspected the UI might be too "loud." It’s a delicate balance between style and usability, and I might have pushed the brutalism too far.

Regarding the Simulation "nope out" moment — was it simply unclear what to do (lack of buttons/direction), or was the screen just too overwhelming with numbers?


Unclear what to do. I obviously could have invested another 30s and figured it out.

I really like the scenarios - i think there's a lot of value there. I wonder if you can double down on that somehow.


Ah, got it.

Thanks again, I still need to work on the user interface to make things clearer and more understandable.


I don't code in Python much. Are those type annotations really how people are using them, or is it just for the example?

    def list_files_tool(path: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
And it returns

    {
        "path": str(full_path),
        "files": all_files
    }
Is that useful?


We do this via run in TS:

    export const run = <T>(f: () => T): T => {
      return f();
    };


Can you clarify why do you prefer this over an IIFE `(() => {...})()`?


I like it. IIFEs always make me nervous because they look like they beg to be removed if you don't know why they are used. Using an explicit function such as `run` looks much more intentional, and provide a single intuitive place (the documentation of the `run` function) to explain the pattern.


Do you use plan mode? Do you link specific files as reference using @? Those two alone make a big difference for me.


Yeah that is the thing that has me confused. I specify the exact files with the @ sign and it still gets caught up on wanting to run batch commands to search for specific patterns. Do you use Sonnet or Opus?


I've never used it, but watched from afar. So many interesting ideas. The website is also really good. Congrats Paul and team


You need to do more drugs then.


Interesting name


For people living in Germany, we already have a similar problem with Figma


I've never noticed this until now and now I can't unsee it.


I did not until now

infohazard!


In no way did I put any bad meaning in the the name


And wix


That name makes me slightly upset and afeared. The game looks nice, though.


the name Pegma is a play on words that combines: "peg" (peg, token) is the main element of the game and "theorema", which is associated with mathematical rigor and logic


Why?


It reads like a portmanteau of pegging and smegma. Hope that helps, although I'm afraid it will do the opposite.


For me it's also that it works as a joke setup, just like "ligma" or "updog".


There's certain sexual activity called pegging. I guess that's what could come to mind here :)


Oh, I didn't know


There's also smegma, which is not a whole lot better.


It appears that every short word means something obscene in some language.

Advice would then be to avoid short names for products altogether.

Mitsubishi renamed the Pajero in Spain, because "pajero" means "wanker".


Honda Jazz was first called Fitta which is cunt in Swedish.


I agree. I wanted to add something short and creative

Yes, the intent is very clear.

EDIT: It seems based on other comments you are genuinely unaware of how it sounds, which is totally fine - I feel someone should let you know it sounds like "peg me" or "smegma", which uh... well, ask an LLM what they mean, I suppose. I don't particularly want that in my HN comment history. :D


Thanks for the explanation


Thank you


curious

cool, thanks a lot!


I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the CS2 rollout (2 years and counting) and the number of bugs, poor performance, and issues?


How do people deploy docker containers on a machine like this? We currently use Cloud Run, which is very hands off. How is a deploy done?
