Just don’t use Claude Code for copy and run your “Claudisms” thru another model like Gemini for better results.

So, how _do_ you pronounce your last name?

My guess is: Teee-Ma

Not sure, never heard of it, but looking at the README it seems similar but w/ a Rust backend?

We do a lot of data/quant analysis w/ Go which is great for that; then having the opportunity to slap on a lightweight GUI allow us to make some great internal tools etc.

+1 for Wails mention: just discovered it recently which brought me to Svelte--couldn't be more impressed. Golang "backend" w/ a Svelte "frontend" to build desktop apps the fraction of the size of Electron is a killer imo.

We need to make ppl understand this!

Because ChatGPT is still trying to capture and own the consumer AI market, and are willing to experiment and abstract their underlying models to do so.

Just look at their SuperBowl/World Cup Ads: Grandmas' talking to ChatGipitee, so cute, so mainstream!

This looks like the new Paperclip helper for a new generation--I guess this is their answer to the (failed?) Jony Ive collab/gizmo, and Muse's cute thingymajib...

The real question to me is: have they lost the coders/terminal bros? And this is their push to stay relevant?

Good to hear, this is my experience also:

I haven't reached for Plan Mode in awhile--maybe, on some blank folder/canvas and I just want that cute "questionnaire" DX to get me going...

But on the whole, CC is smart enough to know when to "rush off and act" and when to "pushback", which is great--and it's no big deal to tell it to pause/stop by adding "what's your thoughts?" or "feel free to pushback" etc to my prompts to make it start a back-and-forth with me (the fact that you say that Plan Mode was really nothing more than a prompt anyways is reassuring).

And yeah, when you're deep in the weeds, you could (and can!) have multiple threads of thought/work going on in the same convo, that stopping and starting a plan in Plan Mode seems like a regression.

(happily using Claude Code Opus 5.5 on High rn)

I don't understand this bandwagoning either. I'm a shit writer, there I dont write, but if I could prompt some AI w/ my thoughts and it generated something that passed for writing and wasn't shit, then you wouldn't be injesting my awesome insights b/c you think AI made them and dismiss it out of some kinda of hurrdurr spite? Makes no sense, and lets not forget the English-as-second language crowd, I guess they have nothing to say either...

here's my comment ran thru ChatGPT, I hope you dont read it!

""" I don’t really understand the bandwagoning around this either. I’m a terrible writer, so I generally don’t write much. But if I could give an AI my thoughts and have it turn them into something clear, readable, and actually worth reading, why would that suddenly make the ideas themselves less valuable?

You’d be dismissing my thoughts—not because they’re bad, but because AI helped me express them. That just seems like reflexive “AI bad” nonsense.

And that’s before you even get to people who speak English as a second language. Are we really saying their ideas somehow count for less if they use AI to communicate them more clearly? That makes no sense to me. """

so you _believed_ them -- that is the only takeaway from this.

I can help with this. I used to work in an industry that adopted this approach.

Put in a couple of MIDI ports and I'll pretend it's a modern day Atari ST and run some Cubase...

_this_ is the Judgement Day we were warned about--not in the nuclear annihilation sense--but the "AI was then let loose on all our codez and the systems went down" sense

crazy times...
