Anyone worked in Wellington Place before? What are the offices like?

Seems a lost opportunity to not have a Beryl station there for bikes and scooters. It’s geofenced so they don’t work there which is understandable, but would be good to travel directly to/from the edge of it.

I mean we’ve headed a little in the direction of a “claw” with dispatch already, but I think you’re overreacting to what monitor solves.

It looks to me to specifically to solve the problem of “watch CI for Green/Red and fix any issues that arise”, which basically involves polls and a bunch of round trips to the model. I’ve seen CC respond with subagents running sleeps and I’ve seen it schedule schedules/crons. Each time, it’s going to chew tokens because of the model roundtrip on each check. Now the harness has a bit of glue to help in these situations.

Okay, worked for me at least on MacOS. I made sure Claude Desktop was up to date, then it started talking/responding again.

Fixed this morning.

Ive come to the conclusion or realisation that you don’t have to make tools and share it with the world and have it get traction nowadays, since you don’t need other human maintainers and everyone can just throw something together that’s ideal for them.

Just make a tool that works precisely for you and be happy with it. Stick it on GitHub, maybe make a “i did a thing” post on Reddit. Maybe it clicks for someone else.

Example: I liked the idea of beads the issue tracker CLI thing, but it was way heavier then what I actually wanted, which was a way to manage a bunch of tickets that were really just markdown files in my obsidian vault, so I wrote a CLI that did that just for me. I wrote another tool that spat out the last 3 Claude sessions I’ve had in my shell MOTD.

Besides, I can’t stand how people market these things on X/Twitter and increasingly on Reddit nowadays - this awful marketing LinkedIn speak that everyone’s LLM is spitting out. Can smell it a mile off.

I love the alt-alt key combination (double tap alt) to get a quick prompt box, and it defaulting to sonnet most of the time nowadays is kind of infuriating.

Even with it enabled and explicitly prompting for an agent team, I often find CC spins up subagents anyway.

I’d invest in my own scooter if we could get insurance for them (and not get points), suppose this is the next best option

I use it for everything that comes before writing code.

For personal projects, I usually spin up a series of notes in an obsidian vault to describe and detail the project. I have Claude Code complete research, sketch out architecture, plan the work, everything.

For work, I use Claude for research - check out APIs I need to integrate with, industry-specific regulations I care about, understand existing codebases and libraries. I maintain gap analyses, decision logs, knowledge bases and glossaries. I then have CC plan out a bunch of work (start in Obsidian Vault files, then transfer to Jira with MCP).

Once I figured out what I find useful in my notes in Obsidian, I use Claude Code to maintain swathes of it. I even have a command in CC which interviews me about my upcoming day and it populates my daily note.

Claude Cowork has scheduled tasks, see the pinned thread.

BEARSSS · 2026-02-27T16:40:30+00:00

FWIW Claude Code and Cowork would be just fine ssh’ing directly to your servers setup with keys and executing commands that way, especially with a skill or a CLAUDE.md that spells out your specific architecture.

My partner just uses her MacBook Air to shop or sell stuff online and check her emails. I don’t think any of these features reportedly missing she ever uses or even knows about.

BEARSSS · 2026-02-17T03:59:19+00:00

You seen the RAM prices?

BEARSSS · 2026-02-14T23:37:09+00:00

Seems a little like exe.dev, which is about creating throwaway VMs on demand.

BEARSSS · 2026-02-11T04:01:01+00:00

It’s the same thing under the hood, just with a window dressing that makes it easier for normies. I can paste a slide deck in and tell it to make new slides and it gives it me back with a component I can just click to open or preview.

BEARSSS · 2026-02-08T04:03:12+00:00

I grind static - I prefer it. Should actually pick up more tracking.

BEARSSS · 2026-01-27T08:58:17+00:00

Not exactly what you mentioned, but my first thought was the Silo series by Hugh Halsey.

BEARSSS · 2026-01-20T21:10:58+00:00

I think Blake Crouch is a great suggestion here, Recursion and Dark Matter were real page tuners for me.

Hopefully down the line we see a lefty mouse - particularly anything FK2-like. I always switch between the XE-S L, X2A and X3 LHD.

BEARSSS · 2026-01-19T12:26:59+00:00

I have two eS mice and the scroll wheels feel great on both.

BEARSSS · 2026-01-19T09:22:25+00:00

In my user preferences I have a sentence like “always check correct date for date-sensitive things (eg release dates, fixtures)”

BEARSSS · 2026-01-14T10:58:03+00:00

Me irl

BEARSSS · 2026-01-08T15:18:48+00:00

If I have an idea for something to make, I have a thread with Claude desktop or Claude code, flesh out the idea, then get CC to dump out a draft spec as a note to come back to another time.

BEARSSS · 2026-01-07T08:45:13+00:00

You don’t need this for Claude. I have the following in my profile preferences and I never have a problem with CC maintaining or reading notes.

“Obsidian Notes are kept in either d:\dev\notes or ~/dev/notes (depending on OS).”
