I am most afraid of us eating the productivity gains of agents by just becoming lazier.

I just told Claude "can you help me think through this problem step by step"

it's basically impossible for someone to just "show you their prompt" now, because everything is about references, skills and examples I often ask my agent to look at 3 other repos I've made first, search the web for references, use other AI APIs, etc.

Just about 1 year ago I posted one of the first posts about using Claude Code to make videos. Each of these actually took a long time to iterate with Claude and get right, pointing out details that were wrong, etc. Crazy how far things have come.

A lot of times when I talk about higher level abstractions like projects, claude tag and dynamic workflows, I hear concerns about token cost. With Sonnet + Opus 5.5 I think this sort intelligence is should be very available. Try Sonnet 5.5 in particular when making workflows.

have you tried telling Claude "we have the power to do anything, please be braver" also, have you tried telling yourself

dating myself with neopets I fear

one week in my takeaway is that you don't need unlimited tokens to do great work, the $200 plans are amazing and this is the most expensive intelligence will ever be

I was on the latent space podcast with Swyx and Vibhu! Overall it was a really fun deep dive into lots of topics from harness engineering to pacing the frontier. Here are some of my favorite clips. 1/ Smart models need less verification which makes them pareto dominant.

experimenting with a lil personal project: an AI-native macOS dock with custom modes (writing, building, etc.) to help me stay focused my agent is able to customize mode behavior and add new modes, it uses jev to classify my activity + notifications in real time & act on them

all software is becoming malleable, so it was important for us to support this as a first class citizen in Claude Code, I hope more and more software becomes extensible like this! here are some of what I'm most excited about with mods:

I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined. I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top. The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever. My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply. To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had. For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new. If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.
