  Cadillac tasks: I believe many estimates of LLM productivity boosts are over-estimates because people are using them for cadillac tasks: things that would take you a long time unaided, but have only marginal additional value.

  claude code is a cursed relic causing many to go mad with the perception of power. they forget what they set out to do, they forget who they are. now enthralled with the subtle hum of a hundred instances, they no longer care. hypomania sets in as the outside world becomes a blur

  Claude Codecrastination: when you avoid the thing you're supposed to do by cranking out 17 other things you've been wanting to do for a while.

  One reason vibe coding is so addictive is that you are always *almost* there but not 100% there. The agent implements an amazing feature and got maybe 10% of the thing wrong, and you are like “hey I can fix this if i just prompt it for 5 more mins” And that was 5 hrs ago

  This is spot on: “If you tell a friend they can now instantly create any app, they'll probably say “Cool! Now I need to think of an idea.” Then they will forget about it, and never build a thing. The problem is not that your friend is horribly uncreative. It's that most people's

  @TheStalwart yeah I made a list of Claude Code starter projects and “visualize a random CSV” is #1 or you can export and visualize your own data — iMessage, Goodreads, etc! [image]

  “Here's what using Claude Code initially felt like: cooking with ingredients from a stranger's fridge, the blankness of a page before you start writing, solo traveling in a country where you don't speak the language.” https://jasmi.news/...

  If you're intrigued by Claude Code but also feel overwhelmed, I can recommend this more personal account of trying it out by Jasmine Sun: jasmi.news/p/claude-co...

  “the browser is the sandbox” - as a connoisseur of sandboxing this article taught me all sorts of useful things, especially around the intersection of iframe sandboxes and CSP

  This has been my experience too. If an AI does some analysis and I'm only 95% sure it's right that's worse than useless.

  i've been using claude code on a couple small projects — mostly organizing and assessing exported data from other sites. in both cases, i caught 3-5 errors in its display or analysis. i'm sure opus is a real capabilities jump, but it's hard to feel euphoric about a tool that's

  just met a guy who cancelled a $18B contract with lockheed martin after he ran claude code with “design a 6th gen fighter, include a Long-Range Engagement Weapon, make sure to use uv and not pip”

  fun niche genre of tweet on here lately is people saying “I just discovered an amazing new workflow using claude code and glorp” and 100% of the time you check their profile and they're the founder of glorp

  .@garrytan is an example of an inveterate tech twitter poster. In the last 24 hours, he's found time to comment on admissions standards for colleges, drug use in San Francisco, and how terrible a wealth tax would be. Want to guess what he hasn't mentioned?
