Claude Code is very useful, but it can still get confused.

A few quick tips from my experience coding with it at Anthropic 👉

1) Work from a clean commit so it's easy to reset all the changes. Often I want to back up and explain it from scratch a different way.

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

@kauffeem @cursor_ai That’s my exact experience. Did tons of stuff, but only because I could get it out of corners and fix things as I went. For a good developer, radical new capabilities.

63-32. That’s my number. I think the 10% of moderates aren’t represented in ANY polls. (I don’t answer non-contacts) and 10% of people saying they’re voting for trump wont. 30+% will always vote for Trump.

@alexxubyte I like the visualization of the landscape. Is the purpose of the diagram a visualization of the answer as No?

Batch.

There are two ways to compute and two ways to see the world. It’s batch vs. loop—and we need them to reconcile. (From 2023) https://t.co/O9xAqpM9lP

Exactly, unless you are in science and engineering. Then, all bets are off. https://t.co/YVf1Y7DIE7

Commuting via train to the Pittsburgh Marathon. The train stops at steel plaza due to construction. Head down fifth and cut through market square to reach bag drop. @PGHMarathon

I started re-reading some of my favorite books a few months back — things that I hadn’t read in years but loved as a young adult and early professional career. Many that were good then still stand the test of time.

My son's 12U travel baseball team is holding a fundraiser for their summer tournaments. If you watch and cheer for March Madness teams (and you want another reason to do so), consider buying a square in their team's March Madness pool: https://t.co/CkMqGEpvvd

To Run My Best Marathon at Age 44, I Had to Outrun My Past | WIRED - not sure what to say here other than I loved this article. What a story about his complex relationship with running. https://t.co/fqRqzhNVbI

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

Minor elevation change repeats but steady tempo. Clear cardiac drift. It’s within a normal range, still zone 2. Nice easy run.

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

Marathon training certainly kicked my mileage up a level, however, the real change happened with quarterly goal setting paired with early morning focus on long, quality runs. I’m on track for 800. #nikerunclub

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

I stopped adding to these statistics during the summer, however, my running has become waaaay more predictable.

I’ll start a new thread soon with updates, but I’m on track for 800 miles this year. How this happened is worth some discussion.

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

New year, new running metrics! Same format as last year - day/week/month/year. This year’s mileage goal: 800 miles.

3/3/3/3 - very rainy easy run through the neighborhood. This officially starts my 18 week training plan towards the @PGHMarathon #nikerunclub

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

6.5/19.5/31.5/285 - long run on a rainy day. The rain was cooling and it took an otherwise muggy day and made it refreshing to run in the summer.

@thesamparr Where did this question come from? Are you trying to improve population health?

I’d certainly do this if it were available, but it’s not an income option.

Is it?

[Nathan Pedretti @nathanpedretti]

@schoolofjuan @waitbutwhy This was my thought as well. Many diseases that could indirectly track you for your entire life — cancer, diabetes — that all of a sudden end your life.

Sign me up for the $10M as well.

@duolingo how do I enable league play for my son (12) on our family plan? He wants to participate.

@PeterZeihan Pittsburgh is smoky. We woke thinking it was fog but the persistent campfire smell and irritated eyes was a quick indication it was pretty bad here.
