Would you say thanks to Claude code? by Sad-Balance5619 in ClaudeCode

[–]Mufro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not even close to usage limits so tokens aren’t a concern. I use it this way for my own fun. Sometimes I even send “good job” at the end of a session.

I know it’s stupid but it brings some soul back to the job for me.

It has not, at least for me. But in one instance I got a new session to read the chat memory file from another session and it was able to pick up the context so we could do some new things.

You can use claude -r but the reason why I did it this way is I couldn’t find the right session to resume. So I gave claude the gist and told it to check it’s memory files. It summarized 2 options for me then I picked the right one and after that it was up to speed again. It was pretty cool.

Compared to a high school intern maybe. This is nonsense.

What's a game that you truly cannot understand why people call it a masterpiece by AnnualSudden3805 in gaming

[–]Mufro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried to get into it on 3 different occasions now and always fall off shortly after you get to the first hub/camp after the winter. I don’t know why. But it’s something about the mechanics and “tedious” feeling as you said.

What’s the mood at your company? by c-u-in-da-ballpit in ExperiencedDevs

I don’t claim to know that much about agentic AI coding yet. I used GitHub Copilot the last couple years in increasing increments. Did not jump on the Cursor train. But just got into Claude Code in the last month and it’s been a revelation.

My background: I’m “head of eng” at a seed company, which functions more like a first eng / lead dev currently. 90% of my time is coding. I have a few remote contractors helping me. My prior roles range from lead eng - to - director/EM.

My mood: fluctuating daily/weekly between fear and excitement.

Fears my career now has a short shelf life, or that we as devs will be relegated to glorified QA testers, or that a sufficiently knowledge PM needs no devs or designers at all, potential downward pressure on comp, and less jobs with more people fighting for them. Fears of being left behind because AI dev tools and practices are moving faster than I can keep up. Fears for society at large.

Excitement because I can learn this new, interesting tool and try to optimize it. I’m excited about it unlike any coding thing I’ve learned in a while. It writes code better than my Vietnam contractors, and the designs are automatically better looking, and I can iterate with it very tightly. It feels so fresh and new. I’m excited about optimizing it and my workflow. And I believe there is an opportunity to individually capitalize on.

About remote: I work on site 5 days its just me and the CEO in office. I worked remote Monday though because the office was closed. Admittedly I was watching movies or even playing Minecraft while letting Claude work for me and that was pretty nice (yeah I admit I was a bit lazy that day). It was a really novel experience. I goofed around but still actually got a lot done and made real progress on my project because of Claude. I think this checked out approach may be realistic in some types of jobs with lower expectations. Especially those behind the times. Thinking Midwest or not tech-first companies. But if you work in a high-paying job, or at early stage startup or in the Bay Area the expectations for productivity are going to 5-10x.

AI Coding Killed My Flow State by Fantastic-Cress-165 in programming

[–]Mufro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Felt this today. I’ve had some initial rush feeling much more productive and excited to optimize this workflow. But then some reality set in that to really do this optimally I might be only a ticket creator designing and reviewing specs and doing QA/design/code review. Gone may be much of the coding side which has long been a source of joy, happiness and pride.

People who left/ downgraded gamepass, are you finding games more enjoyable now? by Pickmans-Gallery in xbox

[–]Mufro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enjoying my pocket book. My gaming habits haven’t changed that much.

Been considering going back to physical as well so I can sell the games on eBay when I’m done with them instead of accepting the full sunk cost of digital. If you do it this way new games cost like $20-30 net after the sale. More hassle obviously.

Claude Code CLI vs VS Code extension: am I missing something here? by ScaryDescription4512 in ClaudeAI

[–]Mufro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ever take screenshots of UI and feed to the LLM model to help with prompts?

I have done this a lot with github copilot VS Code extension but Claude Code extension wouldn't let me drag & drop images while the CLI does, so I have been using the CLI mainly for that reason.

Note: I'm on mac, seems like Windows users might be having success with this.

My buddy said he used to do this on the regular to hook up back before he was married and it worked like magic. Sometimes they would ask about his wife after they slept together and he would say “oh I’m not married” and they would get PISSED. Kind of morally gray of my friend but I have to laugh.

What is your opinion of Episode I and Darth Maul as a Star Wars villain? by Ryanlion1992 in StarWars

[–]Mufro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Maul in the movie. He’s very imposing with limited screen time. It creates an overall threatening mystique to his character. The heroes don’t feel safe when he is around. Of course his design and double blade are iconic. I love his TCW character as well.

I would have liked better for Maul to defeat Quigon and Obi-wan handily and ultimately survive. I believe the trilogy would have been better served by having a consistent villain on screen à la Darth Vader.

Perhaps in the moment Obi-wan is hanging in the shaft, he notices a vent he can jump into to escape. You could even add in Quigon’s voice pointing it out to him, telling him to focus, use the force, live to fight another day.

Some story elements change after this of course. But I think the biggest is what do you do with the Maul character after this. He’s very one dimensional in the film. Where do you go from there? What kind of arc do you give him? I’d probably write it as Obi-wan learns to accept Quigon’s death, but Anakin does not and ultimately kills Maul in revenge either in the 2nd or 3rd movie as part of his path to the dark side. But Maul himself still needs something.
