Earthquakes and power outages. SF is like someone walked away from their SimCity game and forgot to pause.

We're rolling back a few changes we shipped to Claude Code this week to make sure things are stable heading into the holidays. The rollback includes our incremental TUI update (the one to prevent flickering), instant compact, and some prompting changes.

every time i try to write a post that's like "you should do this because it's best practices and good engineering is important", it comes out forced and unnatural until i turn it into "here's what i learned about x, y, z, come on a trip with me." every single time.

I really like plan code. It lets me correct mistakes before claude hides them in a bunch of code. Nice post about how it works

I don't use Claude's plan mode. I made some potentially uninformed statements today about plan mode, so I learned what it does by looking at the code. This might or might not be useful to you.
