@aditya_sarade14 Well said

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

I love Claude but if one more person tries to sell me a product with an obviously Claude generated generic landing page, I'm going to crash out

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

@SwarnCode No no I see that, I'm just saying that context reusability doesn't fix badly designed landing pages

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

@pradeepXkapoor For good reason!

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

@aditya_sarade14 Idk fam, I think it'll be like books. There's a billion books out there but only so many worth reading...

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

@harisbuild TBH the landing page looks great and don't make me wanna crash out. Awesome work and best of luck with the product!!

@SwarnCode I don't get how "Stop re-explaining your project to AI." helps with AI slop...

@cozybearlog 100% I think the memories/skills/systems and just harness familiarity going a long way, which is why new entrants have a hard time. Tool switching is expensive too, but it's fun to try and get surprised

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

@cozybearlog What have you seen that's been bad in the real world in Codex? Genuinely curious

[Harsh Rana @_HarshRana]

@devparagiri Really?? I feel like the whole "we sent your code to our servers without asking you" turned me off.. But I'll give it a whirl and report back

You’re just a few agent loops away from building world class software
