Another good read from their dev blog. This stuff isn't rocket science, but is the kind of engineering organizational problem solving I find really interesting.

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

Claude writes about 90% of Claude Code's code.

From June to September, merged PRs more than doubled while the share reverted fell by more than 40%.

We wrote about how we changed code review to get there, and how to adopt it:

The new Projects feature in Claude Code is great! … and is capable of absolutely devouring usage limits 😅

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

This is probably one of the more important reads if you want to know where tech-forward, software-heavy orgs are headed. Almost “living software”. Very cool.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.

In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.

Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: https://t.co/wzNkwHs7IN

@hiddevdploeg I’ll have to check it out! Btw those previews and the whole store listing page look great!

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

Psymon Spine put on a great show in DC!

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@trq212 This is awesome! Feels like Claude Code is becoming more and more the primary human interface of the development stack. What else is on the horizon? More tools to manage agents?

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

Wow, this is huge. Getting to the point where you barely even need an IDE anymore

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

You can now mod Claude Code:

- Change how it behaves
- Customize the UI
- Swap in your own features

Write one with a few lines of TypeScript, or have Claude build it for you. Mods ship inside plugins, so you install them with /plugin in the CLI or desktop app.

A few examples:

Been experimenting with agentic trading bots and early results are extremely promising. With a losing trade rate of 100%, I see the makings of an excellent tax loss harvester

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@CLTAirport Cool video, thanks for sharing!

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@drmichaellevin Incredible work. Your hypothesis #2 is the most intriguing and uncomfortable one for me.

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

Weird

[Jordan Schachtel @JordanSchachtel]

So Jacob Coxon, who dramatically resigned from Anthropic yesterday, worked there for a grand total of six weeks. He started with them in July. All of his socials appeared yest.

It has all the signs of a highly coordinated op through doomer mega donors and the corporate media.

Best Apple keynote in a long time. Ternus era off to a good start.

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@speakerjohnash Creepy to think about lol

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

Y'all need to watch this series, it's very good. The artist is very talented.

[isabel @artficialisabel]

part 2: the openai huggingface incident, from an agents pov

part 3 maybe

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@artficialisabel These are so good! The metaphors are solid and the animation is awesome. Great way to communicate what's going on with people who don't "understand" AI as much. (Which speaks to your own understanding). Thanks for making!

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 Obviously a stupid rule, but… why does the city outsource regulation of uptown food trucks to a private entity?

[Yishan @yishan]

A key stat that every environmentalist who is serious about solving climate change should know:

The US Navy has put into operation over 400 nuclear reactors without a single failure that resulted in any radioactive release.

That is equivalent to the entire total number of civilian reactors deployed worldwide, but the Navy’s reactors are literally deployed in BOATS IN THE WATER, that continually move, rock, get shot at, etc.

There are non-trivial engineering challenges, but the core reality is that safe, clean, abundant nuclear is a matter of political will, intelligence, and organizational culture.

@MattDel99 @fered_nc @CLTAirport @Delta @ATLairport @BostonLogan @DTWeetin @mspairport @JFKairport @LGAairport @slcairport I know but then you have to fly American lol

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@fered_nc @CLTAirport @Delta @ATLairport @BostonLogan @DTWeetin @mspairport @JFKairport @LGAairport @slcairport Would be really nice if they had DCA as well

[Josh Gilstrap @JoshGilstrap]

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 @DentistryHeart I think it’s $1.3B total, right? So roughly 50/50 split public/private
