...crue to skills or harnesses? Or possibly something else? Agentic harnesses like Claude Code have a few components. 1) the core agentic loop, 2) a ton of code to produce a janky TUI. As the code leak showed, there's no magic in Claude Code. T...
The power of tools like Claude Code comes from the open-endedness of LLMs' reasoning being merged with the open-ended capability of the CLI. That explosive power is combinatorial. The C...
The Claude Code Max pricing model implicitly expects usage to stay fixed. That is, to have inelastic demand. However, the demand is highly elastic. The cheaper the t...
... catch up. When you have this mania, you get anxious when you're away from your Claude Code sessions on your computer. A friend with decades of experience managing financial portfolios described it as the same feeling. Debilitating, manic. I...
The power of tools like Claude Code mainly arises from the combinatorial power of the CLI. The power of LLMs as a catalyst for unleashing the inherent (but intimidating) combinatorial p...
Claude Code distills ephemeral tokens into durable value. This is unlike chatbots. As a user, you pay a one-time cost to get a durable good. Tokens are an epheme...
Anthropic is clearly pushing to own the scaffolding that everyone uses. Claude Code is best with Max, and they'll disable use of the description in other harnesses. Claude Code apparently also works to thwart the KV cache of other mo...
Claude Code is great at deobfuscating code. Deobfuscating is an exercise primarily in patience. LLMs have infinite patience. A kind of funny mental image: Claude...
Claude Code can fuel a new kind of mania. This is unlike the "the chatbot is my friend and a God" mania inspired by ChatGPT 4o. It's a kind of hyper-competence m...
Capturing the power of Claude Code for non-developers will unlock a lot of value. But that will be very hard to do in a naive way. Much of the open-ended power of Claude Code is an LLM...
My brother-in-law (who has no engineering experience) discovered the joy of Claude Code. "I have always wanted to be able to take my visions and turn them into reality, but I had this knowledge gap that was impossible to bridge short of ...
When you use Claude Code, you have all of your data checked in to your own repos. So you can switch models at any point. The model is only important when you make changes, no...
...n give you 1000x leverage on your effort. Three different 10x moments: 1) Using Claude Code instead of Claude. Focus on the durable artifact; the chat is a means to an end. 2) Using sub-agents. You don't need to keep in your mind what the ne...
...obot) were basically dead on arrival, while complex, highly technical products (claude code, openclaw) gain mass adoption in seconds. we're definitely missing something."[bv] Grubby Truffles win out in this phase over Gilded Turds.
When you work with Claude Code, you chat with it. But the chat is a directive. A UI to poke at the process that is generating the actual thing you care about.
In Claude Code, the chat and its context is a temporary means to an end to produce the durable result of data. That data may be content, or code. Chatbots treat the...
