You definitely have to create some sort of PLAN.md and PROGRESS.md via a command and an implement command that delegates work. That is the only way that I can get bigger things done no matter how „good“ their task feature is.
You run out of context so quickly and if you don’t have some kind of persistent guidance things go south
It's not sufficient, especially if I am not learning about the problem by being part of the implementation process. The models are still very weak reasoners, writing code faster doesn't accelerate my understanding of the code the model wrote. Even with clear specs I am constantly fighting with it duplicating methods, writing ineffective tests, or implementing unnecessarily complex solutions. AI just isn't a better engineer than me, and that makes it a weak development partner.
I tried doing that and it didn't work. It still adds "fallbacks" that just hide errors or the fact that there is no actual implementation and "In a real app, we would do X, just return null for now"
Perspective from Central Europe (Austria): I can tell you that essentially nobody here has any doubt that bad faith is at play.
Our mainstream news outlets are openly calling the "official" versions from the Trump administration what they are – lies. The video evidence is clear to anyone watching: this was murder. No amount of spin changes what the footage shows.
As citizens of a country that knows firsthand how fascism begins, we recognize the patterns: the brazen lying in the face of obvious evidence, the dehumanization, the paramilitarized enforcement without accountability. We've seen this playbook before.
What Americans might not fully grasp is how catastrophically the US has damaged its standing abroad. The sentiment here has shifted from "trusted ally" to "unreliable partner we need to become independent from as quickly as possible." The only thing most Europeans still find relevant about the US at this point is Wall Street.
The fact that the FBI is investigating citizens documenting government violence rather than the government agents committing violence tells you everything about where this is heading.
This is pretty much the thinking across all German-speaking countries. It especially applies to anything related to energy (combustion engines, coal, gas, oil) and IT.
Case in point: fax machines are still an important part of business communication in Germany, and many IT projects are genuinely amateurish garbage — because the underlying mindset is "everything should stay exactly as it is."
This is particularly visible in the 45+ generation. It mostly doesn't apply to programmers, since they tend to find new things interesting. But in the rest of society, the effects are painful to watch: if nothing changes, nothing improves.
And then there's mobile infrastructure. It's not even a technical problem — it's purely political. The networks simply don't get expanded. It's honestly embarrassing how far behind Germany is compared to the rest of Europe.
Spain the same with Java, and that language it's full of bureaucratic bullshit to make mid managers feel better. Ditto with Power Points and the like. They need to dissapear for the good.
Something lke the PDF's produced from sent(1) under Unix or MagicPont presentations are many times less fancier and they allow to produce effective no-bullshit ACTUAL product based presentations. But then half of the commercials and managers would actually useless (as they are) and they would be kicked out fast. And don't let me start on nepotism...
Different approach: I continuously refine my global CLAUDE.md (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) instead of external memory systems.
I work primarily in Python and maintain extensive coding conventions there - patterns allowed/forbidden, preferred libs, error handling, etc. Custom slash commands like `/use-recommended-python` (loads my curated libs: pendulum over datetime, httpx over requests) and `/find-reinvented-the-wheel` to catch when Claude ignored existing utilities.
My use case: multiple smaller Python projects (similar to steipete's workflow https://github.com/steipete), so cross-project consistency matters more than single-codebase context.
Yes, ~15k tokens for CLAUDE.md + rules. I sacrifice context for consistency. Worth it.
Also baked in my dev philosophy: Carmack-style - make it work first, then fast. Otherwise Claude over-optimizes prematurely.
These memory abstractions are too complicated for me and too inconsistent in practice. I'd rather maintain a living document I control and constantly refine.
That made me chuckle, Enterprise Level Access. I mean as ai company, that’s incredibly cheap and instead of torrenting something, why get it. That price is just a fraction of a engineers salary.
The cooling and density challenges of datacenters here on earth are not trivial , but in space this is multiple magnitudes more difficult.
These numbers are just random bullsh*t numbers.
And what problems do orbital datacenters solve?
They still need uplink, so not libertarian we can do what we want, you have no jurisdiction here thing.
This is just a sci-fi idea that is theoretically possible and is riding the ai bubble for users and investors that don’t know better.
