I thought I'd try an experiment with letting Claude Code work on a fresh project. I'm not diving right into coding - I'm using Claude Code to write the specs first.

I'm blown away. It's like having a short-range time machine. I got so many pages of user stories, tech requirements, roadmaps, mvp vs later versions, and all that stuff. Done in a few hours over two evenings. Yes I hit the limits way before the 5-hour window, but on the plus side I went to bed instead of sitting up half the night, so there's that.

What would have taken me days of typing, Claude just magicked into existence with a snap of its virtual fingers. I review every line of it and still save oodles of time, plus I get to ping-pong about my ideas and refine them along the way.

Using Claude Code instead of just browser-Claude was the real boon. Working with markdown.md files is fast as hell. Running it on my Windows desktop using WSL to get a new one Linux session that maps to my home folder, and simultaneously using Obsidian in Windows to read and edit the output. That sounds a bit roundabout but it's very efficient, and as a side effect I am beginning to grok Obsidian and loving it. A powerful combo, plus it syncs with my phone. Add git to the mix as a finishing touch.

Claude can execute git commands, it can spin up a Docker instance to run the code it will eventually write, and I get to see it my browser, all on localhost.

I won't be surprised if the prototype it produces is shit. But I might be pleasantly surprised that maybe it isn't.

On the claude page is a stupid chatbot from those crooks and it is funny beyond belief. Turns out you can sign up with google and google says you have a valid account with phonenumber and stuff. but as greedy and enshittified as US corpos are ofcourse Claude wants to harvest as much data as possible too. So their bot insists it is fully trusting Google to handle and verify accounts but it also always needs your phonenumber because it doesnt trust Google while it ofcourse always trusts Google but doesnt date saying it doesnt. it is hillarious.

You're correct that both Google and our phone verification aim to prevent spam and abuse. However, our phone verification serves additional specific purposes beyond what Google's authentication provides. While both systems address spam prevention, they operate at different layers - Google authenticates identity across their ecosystem, while our verification enforces Claude-specific access controls and usage policies.

I mean how many assholes can be involved? Jeff ftard Bezos is in there and the genocidal rtards at alphabet that run google invested but yet dont trust each other enough to just even share phone validations.

I am expecting an epic Oligarch Endgame where they kill each other with Spacelasers

Hello everyone,

I've noticed a lot of posts and comments getting downvoted lately across our sub. I'm wondering if others have observed this too?

If so, what do you think might be causing this trend? Are there ways we could encourage more positive interactions?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives on this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

It's great! To me this shows it is calculating much more than chatgpt4 which is almost instantaneous and was way slower in the past (before it was nerfed).

I'm talking about claude on console.anthropic.com rather than claude.ai.

It's pretty good.
