How how hard is it for @grok @xai to write a little code extension like @claudeai ? I have supergrok so just let me use it in vscode seamlessly. Surely grok. A churn out an extension in a few minutes?

"OpenClaw burns through API credits." "The drift is real when unstructured." "It takes too much time to bug fix." The debate today is OpenClaw vs Claude Code. But everyone is misdiagnosing the problem. The issue isn't that OpenClaw is bad at coding. The issue is that dumping every cron job, skill, and email into a single MEMORY.md creates catastrophic context bloat. Context drift are the final bosses of agentic engineering. OpenClaw's reasoning + structured memory = the actual endgame. Excite

My experience is that it all comes down to personal fit and feel. I switched from ChatGPT to Clause several months ago and much prefer it - although do get frustrated at glitches and hitting limits. But I'm a writer and academic, and the LLM fits my purpose better. With what I do ChatGPT does nott feel great to use.

Hi 2020science, your comment about Claude Code caught our attention.

We run Swanum — weekly trust scores for AI dev tools pulled from GitHub issues, Reddit, Twitter, and public benchmarks. Claude Code's current issues are documented in our latest report: https://swanum.com/tool/claude-code/

We'd also be curious what you end up switching to — we track competitor movement too.

eXtreme Iteration: let's rewrite the amplitahedron.

Dear @bcherny - I heard you on the @lennysan podcast and you said you like bug reports! I *LOVE* Claude Code - but it's config file jungle is frustrating. Here's a papercuts report I had it put together. MCP server config: silent ignore + confusing file split ~/.claude/settings.json accepts an mcpServers key without error, but Claude Code never loads servers from it. Only ~/.claude.json works. I spent multiple sessions with servers defined in settings.json thinking they were connected — no wa

I tested Claude Code Review and here's my experience so far. Other than not needing a trigger like a GitHub Action and being configurable directly inside Claude Desktop, I see absolutely NO additional functionality or improvement over just setting up claude.yml with the /install-github-app command I actually think it's much better to simply customize claude.yml with different workflow types, calling skills, running a pipeline on a schedule or on specific events. The only real difference is th

> Outsource things that aren't valuable to you and your core mission.When you outsource the generation and thinking, you're also outsourcing the self-review that comes along with evaluating your own output.In the office, that review step gets outsourced to your coworkers.Having a coworker who ChatGPT generates slides, design docs, or PRs is terrible because you realize that their primary input is prompting Claude and then sending the output to other people to review.

What I do to avoid this is to manually approve each change Claude is doingI think the yolo mode of auto approve changes is to the root cause, which is probably a little embarrassing to be that engineer we’re all collectively pulling aside to ask:Is this the result of automatically letting the robot tune your machine?

Depends on whether you can keep things separated logically. I have 3 git worktrees open, each working on a different area.Generally its feature a, feature b and a refactoring branch of some kind.My workflow is:1. Add ticket in gitlab describing bug or feature in as much detail as possible along with acceptance criteria like expected unit tests or browser based tests.2. In a work tree create a branch based on the id of that ticket in gitlab.3. Start Claude, tell it to use a skill t

I had the ring for a while and was frustrated the device was limited by design to handle a pinch then either take a picture or snooze the alarm - that's all. No customization option, can't code apps to it as the ring is baked to answer only the wearable compaion app / the health sdk.Researched with Claude how the ring works by sniffing the BLE traffic when interacting with the ring + peeked into the apk to form a rough RFC-like draft of how the protocol looks like and you can s

How Amazon's AI coding tool deleted a Production environment Recently, AWS engineers gave their agentic coding tool, Kiro, a simple task: fix a small issue in Cost Explorer. Kiro's response was to delete the entire environment and rebuild it from scratch. That took down a customer-based service for 13 hours! 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. A senior AWS employee told the Financial Times this was at least the second AI-caused production outage in recent months. The first involved Amazon Q Developer. B
