I stopped reading when I got to “The twist is the role”.

I read enough clanker writing at work.

Which is too bad because I really empathize with having to juggle multiple sessions while knowing that I do my best work when I focus and now I have to do the opposite of focus.

Reagan called the USSR an evil empire in 1983. I get the historical reference. I lived it.

I used Claude Fable to tweak my tmux config to allow me to work on multiple issues. It lists my various Claude sessions and the status of each (so I can see which ones are working versus waiting for permissions / choice / finished their turn and are waiting for me). I can also see my open PRs including when PRs get approved; as well as some Jira context.

I usually limit # of concurrent tmux windows 15 (per Kanban limit of Work In Progress concept) but I've been known to up that to 30 when on-call.

True.

Some versions of Claude Code had memory leaks. Therefore or was better to exit Claude Code and start a new session rather than /clear.

I feel my typing has gotten worse too

After trying speech to text, typing feels slow and cumbersome.

Don’t even get started about my handwriting.

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog#2-1-214 says:

> Added the EndConversation tool: Claude can end sessions with highly abusive users or jailbreak attempts, as on claude.ai since 2025 — see https://www.anthropic.com/research/end-subset-conversations

Anthropic just added EndConversation tool where Claude Code may end a chat if it feels the user is being abusive or there is a security issue.

Who delivers a 50K per head training? Who pays for such a thing?

How many people were in the class?

I had a small training company, shuttered during COVID, and I used to charge 5K per day, for a group of up to 12 people. 5 days training = 25K. This is double, wow.

I would love to get back into training but getting enough volume to live and support a family on has been a challenge.

You are welcome! I’m happy to hear it!

I teach a vi basics tutorial and I get that a lot. :)

http://vitutorial.org/

The tutorial is based on Bill Joy’s original paper introducing the vi editor.

Maybe you’ll find something else new there. :)

Yes! I just opened a support case today asking for more fine grained permissions.
