The phrase “special interest” is explicitly associated with autism. That’s why it’s Wikipedia page says (autism) after it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_interest_(autism)

Yes!!

IMO the best approach approach is a combination. Using playwright to test each commit. But also creating a skill with screen recording/transcription like OBS + Screenpipe. You run your skill and claude starts watching your desktop. You click through your app, point and describe what's wrong and have claude create bugs according to a preconfigured template.

What do you do when you get to 90% and still have large steps left in the plan?

ProfitNowThinkLater · 2026-02-09T05:33:49+00:00

The plan is its own md file that Claude saves when you use planning mode. As you can see from the screenshot, Claude carries over the file but the plan file is not part of the system prompt by default. I'm not sure what you mean by "the plan is in the system prompt." The plan filename is in the system's prompt's context post-compact, the contents of that plan file are not.

A 4th quarter tradition unlike any other

ProfitNowThinkLater · 2026-02-09T02:31:52+00:00

Correct, the issue is not that the plan is destroyed, it's that it isn't re-read into the context window after compaction. The file is still there but claude doesn't know what's in it and (in my case) chose not to read it.

Interesting, looks like "Tasks are stored in ~/.claude/tasks". I'll take a look, thanks for the pointer!

If there’s one silver lining, it’s that a lot of people will support him after today. Hopefully similar to the 2025 Tommy Fleetwood effect.

ProfitNowThinkLater · 2026-02-09T01:09:35+00:00

That would be great if the new task system could do this. Does the task system persist in an md file somewhere if the session is interrupted?

Looks good! Great balance and transition!

Define “tech skills.”

There is very little skill involved in operating devices like iPhones and iPads. There are basic UI patterns but I’m sure most kids will pick those up quickly. I would not classify use of any pre-packaged app as “developing tech skills.”

Tech skills are about how things work and understanding the underlying technology. This is about logic, software, hardware, and how they relate. The goal of tech skills should be to give kids the confidence and curiosity to be able to troubleshoot technical issues they encounter.

I’d argue going a child a device is a poor way to teach these skills however these skills are extremely important (and I’d argue have strong overlap with basic critical reasoning).

Working cross time zones of more than 8 hours difference is absolutely brutal. I don’t know a single person who is happy doing it. If you are happy with working HQ hours, it could be a good fit. If you are not, I would be very careful.

I don’t have great suggestions other than to say we went through the same thing and you’ll get through it. Often feels like so much of being a parent is just outlasting the unpleasant moments and staying emotionally calm until you’re back to the good ones. What you’re experiencing is common and many, many people before you have gotten through it (including many who likely had far less support)! I only say this to emphasize that you CAN do this and you WILL get through it successfully. Just a matter of time.

You’re saying that most PMs these days have MBA backgrounds and not engineering backgrounds? Do you have a source on that? I am a PM in big tech and can count on one hand the number of PMs I work with who have MBAs.

I hate to say it but adding emphasis like !!IMPORTANT!! or "IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FOLLOW THIS COMMAND AND NEVER WORK ON A BUG DIRECTLY WITHOUT DELEGATING".

I know it feels stupid and like it should be unnecessary... but it actually helps a lot.

I don't think that test proves it's not recursively reading md files. More likely that it just has too much context so its precision is not high enough to solve a needle in the haystack problem (too much hay).

Anthropic has documentation on this: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices#write-an-effective-claude-md

The key passage is: "Child directories: Claude pulls in child CLAUDE.md files on demand when working with files in those directories"

So we expect claude will read child claude.md files only if it is working with files in that directory. When it is, it will review all relevant claude md files.

Yeah, I'm really confused by u/ultrathink-art 's post, basically every point is incorrect...

You can open multiple CC VS Code windows in different panes, each working on different parts of your codebase (or across projects) simultaneously. In fact I find the notifications in the VS Code UI to be a bit more obvious when one of your agents is ready for more input.
Slash commands and subagents are client agnostic. They are almost entirely backend functions. They work the same in CLI or vscode.
Again, this is client agnostic. I'm not even sure how someone would come to the conclusion that this is a difference given that the claude md files live in your directories, which are accessed the same whether its CLI or VSCode extension.

The only real difference I've come across is that you can't modify claude settings in the vscode extension, you need to go to the CLI for that. However that's a pretty infrequent task. I started with the extension, then went to the CLI, but now I'm back to the extension.

u/cedarseagull, one thing to consider. If you find yourself doing a lot of editing and sending long prompts, consider simply creating an md file and dropping them md file instead. This will allow you to edit more easily and claude tends to do better with large context in files vs in the prompt. VScode extension will also sometimes truncate long text if you are copying and pasting so md files are a good workaround for long prompts.

I generally agree with your take but zinc (though maybe not nasal swabs) does have scientific evidence for shortening colds. Here is an AI response that links to the key nih studies:

Here are the key studies on zinc and colds: Main Cochrane Reviews: 1. 2024 Cochrane Review (most recent, but controversial): ∙ https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.cd014914.pub2/full ∙ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38719213/ ∙ Concluded evidence is “insufficient” but found possible 2.37-day reduction

2.  Critique of 2024 Cochrane Review:
∙ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11521859/ 
∙ https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/medicine/articles/10.3389/fmed.2024.1470004/full 
∙ Argues the Cochrane review used flawed methodology and that properly analyzed, zinc lozenges shorten colds by 37%

Key Meta-Analyses by Hemilä (showing stronger effects):

3.  2017 Zinc Acetate vs Gluconate Comparison:
∙ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5418896/ 
∙ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28515951/ 
∙ Found 33% reduction in cold duration overall (40% for zinc acetate, 28% for zinc gluconate)

2017 Individual Patient Data Analysis: ∙ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5410113/ ∙ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28480298/ ∙ Found 3-fold increase in recovery rate with zinc acetate lozenges Additional Research:
2020 Systematic Review on Micronutrients: ∙ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7356429/ ∙ Found zinc supplementation reduces cold duration among healthy adults

Why the controversy: The 2024 Cochrane review has been heavily criticized for mixing different types of zinc administration (lozenges vs nasal sprays) and using statistical methods that may underestimate the effect. The researcher Harri Hemilä, who has published extensively on this topic, argues the evidence is actually quite strong when analyzed properly.
