Claude Code is a Slot Machine • Roger Goldfinger

｢ I have to assume that part of why AI coding tools are so popular is the slot machine effect. Intermittent rewards, lots of waiting that fractures your attention, and inherent laziness keeping you trying with yet another prompt in hopes that you don’t have to actually turn on your brain after so many hours of being told not to ｣

#ClaudeCode loves the word "comprehensive". ;)

Given you 70 cents for nothing #claudeCode. Tried to refactor my CSS, but made it only worse.

Sometimes the gambling factor with #AI is also fun.

Claude Code has been a hit-and-miss for me lately. Yeah, it can get you to the 80% in 2 hours, but the remaining 20% will bring frustration and burned tokens (a.k.a $$$). I found a solution that works for me, maybe it will for you, too — slowing the process down using hooks: https://preslav.me/2025/07/26/claude-code-token-burn-slow-down-hooks/

Das Thema KI wird in Zukunft, glaube ich, noch richtig spannend/witzig werden.

Ich habe den Eindruck, dass die Tools genutzt werden, ohne die Ausgabe zu hinterfragen. Dann kommt noch dazu, dass eventuell Hintergrundwissen fehlt, um die Ausgabe überhaupt beurteilen zu können. Aber warum sich damit beschäftigen, wenn die KI so viel schneller eine Antwort liefert?

Wenn ich Claude Code nutze und damit etwa experimentiere, habe ich mich auch schon dabei erwischt und die Ausgabe einfach übernommen und es nicht immer im Detail geprüft.

Good post by @ryancheley and I strongly agree with his thoughts and feelings on the subject.

Left: Qwen Code
Right: Claude Code

Open source agents are really improving. Qwen Code 0.0.1-alpha.10 on GitHub: https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code

Never trust AI too much :-)

(Just lost couple hours of work, bacause claude decided to do a git reset --hard, to revert something and erased all changes of the evening. Permanently! Oopsie)

At least the AI did apologize

Just released: render-claude-context 1.1.0 lets you recreate your #ClaudeCode context in other #agents like #Gemini or #opencode.

For example: Render project and global #Claude‍.md wit resolved imports & commands for opencode:

`render-claude-context create --target opencode --filename AGENTS.md`

This creates AGENTS.md next to every found CLAUDE.md, and in ~/.config/opencode/. Useful!

https://github.com/czottmann/render-claude-context

I finally managed to put all my #Claude and #Gemini stuff into one single repo: commands, rules, setups, useful claude/ gemini/ xcodebuild wrappers, Claude/Gemini interoperability.

https://github.com/czottmann/agent-toolbox

It's a WIP, mind.

I finally got around to setting up the website for my automated #Anthropic Status Bluesky account, @anthroping:

Ccusage: A CLI tool for analyzing Claude Code usage from local JSONL files

https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage

I want to be more mindful of my Claude Code usage throughout the day. So, I've put together a quick toolbar app thanks xbar and a Claude utill called ccusage.

If anyone's interested, I will write a short blog post these days.

P.S. Using Claude Pro, you still don't pay per token. Otherwise, I'd be broke by now.

Thanks to @simon for mentioning ccusage

Comparing Claude Code vs OpenCode (and testing different models) https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/comparing-claude-code-vs-opencode-testing-different-models/

Claude Code and I spent a couple of weeks together. From game and Web development to conversational coding, here are some thoughts and opinions. https://share.transistor.fm/s/6c996bab #ai #appdeveloper #claudecode

New blog post is up

Thoughts on AI in software dev—from autocomplete fails to agents that (sometimes) get it right.

If you’re a sceptic, don’t grill me—let’s talk about how we face the hard bits and still get something good out of it

My Experience with Claude Code After 2 Weeks of Adventures

https://sankalp.bearblog.dev/my-claude-code-experience-after-2-weeks-of-usage/

#claudeCode says "Your custom logging system is well-designed and the business-focused approach with functions like log_fraud() and log_unauthorized_access() is actually quite elegant."

I mean that's why I am paying, right? LOL
