AI is a means, not an end. What should matter is whether a project is open source, not what tools were used to build it. I build my Mac apps with Claude Code and release them under the MIT license, and I don't see how that makes them any less open source.

Around 2010–2012 I made videos for Vocaloid songs, with the art coming from separate illustrators. Many of them wouldn't send their illustrations split into layers, which made animating them a pain. And even though it was a music video and I asked for more drawings, some just wouldn't listen and sent a single piece with way too much effort poured into it.

Around 2010–2012, I made videos for Vocaloid producers' songs in Japan. It was almost entirely unpaid. What I got out of it was skills.

I'm building a fan site for a Japanese baseball team on my own. Besides news and videos, it pulls player stats from more than ten sites, from the league's official site to Wikipedia. Writing that many scrapers by hand would have been impossible for me, so I wouldn't have even tried without Claude Code.

For me it's case by case. When I notice a rule in CLAUDE.md has gone stale, I just tell Claude Code to delete it.

I built a music player by talking to Claude Code in Japanese, and I can barely remember a time when words failed and I had to fall back to code. For example, I asked it to "keep the sidebar's shape, but add margin on the top, left and bottom so it looks like it's floating a bit — you know what I mean?" and it got it right on the first try.

I run some of my own tasks with Claude Code on a schedule. When a task involves looking into websites, I'd want it to check with me first if it might put load on someone else's site.

I built a web app with Claude Code without reading the code it wrote. I only asked for things like "add outer margins to the menu and header, with a transparent blurred background," and it came out the way I imagined.

Around 2010–2012, I made videos for Vocaloid songs. Back then, whether the voice sounded robotic or not never even crossed my mind. If it sounded just like a human, that would be fine too.

I'm building a Vocaloid music player with Claude Code. It worked on day one, but the colors were still the pale purple from another app of mine I had started from. I changed them to Miku's teal. That was the part I had to decide myself.

I've rarely wanted Android apps on my Mac. Where I've wanted them is on my iPhone: an app that forwards incoming SMS to Gmail, and a free VPN.

I don't use tmux. I run Claude Code in Cursor windows, and each window title shows the folder name, so that's how I tell them apart. It rarely gets confusing, and an app I built for myself made it a lot easier.

I don't read the code Claude Code writes at all. And yes, it does cause problems. Recently, in a project that was supposed to use shadcn, it quietly stopped using it partway through.
