So the new Claude Code recap feature might not be the ✨ shiniest ✨ thing the @ClaudeDevs team has shipped recently but it’s insanely useful for someone who has a million terminal windows open at any given time

@sama Every parent's nightmare. I'm glad everyone is safe 🙏

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

Has anyone made an easy-to-use dashboard for understanding your agents, their workflows, and communicating with them? I haven’t found anything in the wild and my own designs aren’t the best.

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@trq212 A nice surprise in the inbox, thanks team 👋

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@bcherny @beeeeeeeegyoshi @stevekrouse My personal favorite is “honking.”

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@bcherny No more dangerously skipping permissions 😆

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@yusan_lin @mirrormirror_ai This is super cool. Congratulations!

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@jenny_wen The short answer is… you will change more than you thought possible. But you won’t lose anything, your world just expands. Your brain will feel rewired and a bit slow to start, but about a year postpartum things will feel more normal again. Congratulations ❤️

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@zarif_cho @trq212 Absolutely. WhatsApp would even suffice.

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@trq212 🙌 here for this – Slack is not the best place to message CC (even with a custom MCP setup) so I’m trying this out tomorrow

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@trq212 Super interested in how the Figma MCP <> CC work together compared to the new Google Stitch / Design.md MCP. I had a good time revamping my UIs today with it… but I still have to invoke Playwright so CC can “see” 👀

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

Well this has changed the way I'm shipping things, almost immediately. FINALLY, a solid AI powered design solution.

The memories feel flat — it captures facts but not how I think or make decisions. I ended up building my own persistent memory layer because I wanted something closer to a cognitive fingerprint, not just a notepad.

The real unlock would be memory that understands context switching — I work across 5+ projects and the right memory for one is noise for another.

What does work: it's magic when it remembers project structure and preferred patterns across sessions. Feels like picking up where I left off instead of re-explaining everything. More of that.

It’s a great time to build 🚀

[signüll @signulll]

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person.

when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that.

i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it.

& the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start.

the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled.

before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@trq212 Stop it 🤣

[Mike Krieger @mikeyk]

More than a million people are now signing up for Claude every day.

To everyone choosing to make @claudeai part of how they work and think: welcome.

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

@esthercrawford I totally agree. Best time ever to build!

[Laura Alexander Wittig @lauralexwit]

Have you ever noticed that your model will match your energy? While that's usually a good thing, context matters. As I'm shipping updates and things break (because life) my Claude Code instance gets increasingly panicky. I just told it to "take a deep breath" 😮‍💨
