uhhhh this is really nice. so many times i wanted to share a quick html with non techies but sending them the file and expecting them to open the file felt like too much friction. i trust them opening a url much more
A dev got so frustrated watching his AI agent write 500 lines for a 5-line problem that he built a fix.
He called it Ponytail. Named after the guy every team has - long ponytail, oval glasses, been there longer than the version control. You show him fifty lines; he looks at them, says nothing, and replaces them with one.
Now your agent does the same. Before writing anything, it looks for a reason not to.
80-94% less code. 47-77% cheaper. 3-6x faster.
The best code is the code you never wrote.

Anthropic is really good at this marketing game. First they hype up "Claude Mythos" all mysteriously, make the Preview version crazy expensive and only available to trusted clients (who knows if they even pay the real price internally). Then they drop a watered-down "safe" version at a much lower price, timed right before GPT-5.6 to step on GPT-5.5, and pull that classic hunger marketing move — give subscribers free access for like ten days then cut it off claiming not enough compute, playing the victim. Hope in two days OpenAI drops GPT-5.6 at the same price as 5.5 but with performance that actually rivals Fable 5 and pushes back hard.
If Mythos drops today and isn’t absolutely incredible then we all got played and you should never trust Anthropic or any company in Glasswing ever again.
if this ends up to be true anthropic loses the last bit of credibility left. they will be finally exposed as the marketing grifters so many people have been defending
jesus touch some grass. i understand the frustration around slop and agents not being deterministic enough but you sound like your entire believe system is just falling apart
Rich people who were too stupid to code before are now superstars. And actually brilliant engineers are made to feel stupid and redundant. Meanwhile coding has been synthesized into beige gooey calorie dense bars made from cockroaches and engineers have to line up with a small plate begging for their share from the token barons who, fortunately, at any given moment can feel generous enough to press a button that makes the tokens fly out like projectile vomit. Engineers at these companies, who sit mere inches from the spigot, frequently bless us with thinkpieces that we too should be doing what they do, and it’s actually quite unfashionable not to do so. Of course none of this is so much engineering advice as it is financial advice.

i have been using claude code for a few months now, and i want to improve my workflow.
i have purposefully stayed away from trying every single new feature that pops up on my TL because a lot of it seems like noise anyways. I am hoping @trq212 can point me in the right direction, what are the best resources to get an idea of how i should be using claude code today? thanks
