Agents write my code but I still read and make sure I understand it, like I would read the code written by a junior dev. If I don’t understand it, or if I don’t agree with the approach, I ask questions and those questions often lead to better code. More importantly, it helps ensure I remain “connected” with the codebase which in turn informs future requests and discussions with an agent.

Because I think it’s fair to say it’s becoming a standard format for ai agent specs docs etc. It’s not going away anytime soon.

Input: this project was a complete shitshow.

Output: This project provided us with numerous unexpected learning opportunities and allowed us to demonstrate significant agility in a highly dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Watched the video. Yeah, it’s cheesy, it’s not perfect, but it’s pretty f-ing good nonetheless. IMO, this article reads like a stodgy old English professor berating a freshman essay because it wasn’t world class literature.

I have found enabling the codebase itself to be the “Claude.md” to be most effective. In other words, set up effective automated checks for linting, type checking, unit tests etc and tell Claude to always run these before completing a task. If the agent keeps doing something you don’t like, then a linting update or an additional test often is more effective than trying to tinker with the Claude.md file. Also, ensure docs on the codebase are up to date and tell Claude to read relevant parts when working on a task and of course update the docs for each new task. YMMV but this has worked for me.

I didn’t read the title closely enough and thought this was Uncle Bob recommending static sites.

Yes, there is a “Hello” in the noise, made visible through contrast and animation.

For this to truly be funny, it needs to be installed on on an unsuspecting user’s laptop, preferably some C-level type about to join an in-person board meeting.

Can you provide specific examples of threads that drift into politics?
