a quick opus 4.5 vibecoding tip
ask claude to make state machine diagrams of existing components
this causes it to map out all paths (which, it will default to being lazy otherwise) but also helps you verify if it's doing things correctly at a systems level
It is a bit embarrassing that after being silent for almost 8 months, my next post is about something that should be trivial and simple, but ended up being a mini coding project. But here it is.
Using Claude Code to Customize My Ubuntu Desktop

every (spiritually, not fundamentalist) religious person i know is smart, sucessful, and hard working. especially the christian ones (due to slow shedding of fundamentalism after the 1800s)
honestly if you say "<3 jesus" on your twitter profile i'm 100% you'll succeed
First try to self improve with a sub-agent system. It was able to understand that it needed more tools.
It broke trying to add a mdkir tool, and then again when trying to add search and replace edit_file tool
Not bad for a lunch break.

so easy to delude yourself into thinking - that you know everything, when all you know is words and semantic meaning of them. not really the experience of it.
Also, forward-looking tech companies are hiring MORE interns now (because of AI) than before! GitHub and Shopify both hiring at record levels… they observe CS students use tools more fluently!
A developer (incl CS student) using AI tools is 100x as productive as a non-dev
@asmah2107 Force engineers to run builds on their personal laptops while holding a plank position. Builds finish faster because pain motivates optimization…
@yongfook I have felt this way before. What I am trying now is to have long form chat to produce several skeletons of a solution before settling in with an approach. While it works, and reduces refactoring by a lot. It still doesn't feel quite right.
Slack is becoming so ran thru. MS Teams is a non-starter. Discord is gamer slop.
I just want channels, threads, and DMs. Like nothing else. Why does every product tend towards slop like this?
Tell me you're having fun,without telling me that you're having fun.
I'll go first.
I've been exploring how to build a coding agent. And it is surprisingly simple. So much so, that I spent a lot of time overengineering and then starting over to favor simpler ways to build it.
Fizz Buzz! :D
There isn't really much to say, other than Parse now implements as rudimentary reason and act loop and can make use of some file management tools.
With this, it can already start coding.

I have this nagging feeling that tells me that it will be relatively simple to use AI to build and AI pair-coding tool. I thinking that it makes sense to write an open source one for Grok using Grok.
