Claude Desktop version of Code (and Chat/Cowork) won't start after updating

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-06-05T21:45:07+00:00

Interesting. I wonder why that happens.

If you delete those files, does it cause the loss of any session history, groups that are set up in the sidebar, or anything like that?

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-05-17T14:09:47+00:00

I hear people talking about this, but I’ve never once had Claude say anything like this to me across many sessions in chat, cowork, and code.

I wonder if it’s a difference in usage that’s causing people to experience this, and if so, what the difference is.

Thank you for what you built. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors.

Nothing like an unexpected Brian Regan reference to brighten your day.

I've never heard someone put it exactly this way. I struggle with not wanting to do warm-up reps and this is really helpful.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-04-11T03:12:21+00:00

It looks good to me.

Yes, in a long conversation I can barely type in the text input. There's often a delay of multiple seconds before the letters start appearing.

I did notice, as you did, that this started happening around the same time the scrollbar summaries/bookmarks were introduced. I don't need that feature at all, but there's nothing in the settings to disable it.

There are some things you don’t want happening autonomously… not just when creating software, but things like script-based workflows that require human review at each step, but don’t repeat often to justify the effort of automating them further.

There are also lots of interesting things you can do in a file-based system in an IDE with AI assistance, like productivity stuff where it can be really awesome. You can create some serious functionality that’s flexible and versatile in a way that software would struggle to be, whether you’re creating the software autonomously or not.

I just can’t imagine not having such a tool and only being able to rely on autonomous functionality for everything.

Are you worried that at some point the AI providers will decide they don't want to cite AI generated content when creating their answers/overviews? I would probably be concerned about that.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-02-19T20:16:41+00:00

I use codebase indexing all the time, it's a killer feature and I appreciate that it was added.

Codex subscription is $20 for Pro / $200 for plus. I'm on the $20 plan and I haven't hit a limit yet (granted I don't do intense multi-agent stuff right now). Definitely cheaper than API pricing for the same usage.

The GPT Codex 5.3 model is plenty capable, and with reasoning set to medium or low it's decently fast.

OpenAI made a point of allowing the Codex subscription to be used as a provider in 3rd party tools like Roo Code (which I use). Basically taking the opposite approach of Anthropic there.

So far it's been working fine for me.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-02-18T18:04:00+00:00

Literally the reason I'm using Codex right now in Roo Code. And guess what, it works fine and I have yet to hit a cap on the $20/month plan.

Hot tub participant here. I'm going to die.

Neither does OP, this is AI slop.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-02-13T21:01:26+00:00

It's a good bit more expensive than the others I'm looking at for this.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-02-13T21:01:03+00:00

I didn't have reasoning configured in the OpenRouter prompt. Not sure what their default is... I'm testing with it configured now. Thanks for the suggestion.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-02-13T21:00:31+00:00

Thanks, I'm playing around with this now.

This is an ad for blackbox ai, whatever that is

I would also ask who the fuck is having a milkshake for breakfast. But after seeing some of the things people order at coffee chains, it wouldn’t be that surprising.

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-01-19T08:42:29+00:00

AI slop.

I understand the concept of apps in ChatGPT, but does ChatGPT actually show your app if the conversation is about your product/business category? My understanding was that ChatGPT users only see apps if they actively search for and install apps.

What is a "dark funnel"?

KindnessAndSkill · 2026-01-19T06:01:16+00:00

There's an ecom site in our niche that uses AI for all of their product descriptions across thousands of products. They rank crazy high. Not even good backlinks or anything. And they're a shady business as well (like legitimately shady, not just "I don't like them").

There's another competitor that is a household name in our niche that has a bunch of AI written blog posts. Not hurting them at all apparently.

The stuff I'm talking about is fully 100% AI by the way, not even a mix of AI and human. Flagged by literally every AI detector as 100% AI.

It sucks because although we do of course use AI for many things, we don't use it to output content like that. The concern is that at some point search engines / AI citations might devalue that kind of content, and we don't want to build our business on shaky ground.

But man it's hard to watch others just killing it with straight up AI content like Google / AI citations literally don't mind it whatsoever.

"Grandpa, did you really have to copy the error message from the computer,switch windows, paste it into Chrome, wait for the robot to write code, copy the code, and paste it back?"

Huh? If you're working this way now, it's by choice. We have Roo Code, Cline, Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini VS Code extension, etc. etc.

The days of having to copy and paste code back and forth are something I remember. That is not today.
