So far “Claude Code gets confused and burns ‘usage’ going in circles when I ask it to do a refactor” is a pretty good proxy for when I haven’t actually thought clearly enough about the change I want to make. I do feel like I have sit on it though. Wish it was better about asking for help.

The productivity gain for $20 spent on Claude Code is hard to argue with, if it was just about money vs time. But I don’t really want Anthropic to ruin the environment and throw the global RAM supply chain into chaos to save me a few minutes. Wish there was more visibility into the actual impact

It’s a lot more fun to write Rust when AI is dealing with the semicolons, borrow-checker nagging, and all the other paper cuts (new paradigm: “Paper-cut Oriented Programming”?) I mean, I can write Rust. I have written Rust. But do I like writing Rust? Reading it I can just about deal with

Current
I’m intrigued by Current (via Daring Fireball), and I really enjoyed the essay that seems to have preceded it but…
This product claims to respect my time and attention, yet the page is so scroll-jacked and CSS-transitioned-up that I had to give it a couple of tries before I could bring myself to read to the bottom. Posts coming and going in a dynamic way might make sense in a reader app, but it does not for paragraphs on a web page, sir.
It’s paid up-front!? With versions for three platforms? How are they going to make enough to sustain this app? Is it even worth investing the time to try when it will inevitably go through a painful, soul-destroying transition to a subscription model sometime 2–3 years from now?
So I guess I’m giving it a pass for now but hopefully I’ve been hasty in my judgement and the next time it comes cross my RSS reader it will land better. Either way, it’s good to see RSS getting some love.
