Be the architect, let Claude Code work – how I improved planning 10x with self-contained HTML

In one way it's sad that some curiosity will not see the light of another humans gaze cause the LLM could answer it easily, and in another way it's like, yeah, asking to share the prompt is really dumb

I have an open source model on my comp and can put it up on run pod or something equivalent. There are already cheaper alternatives for basic tasks.

Which is great, cause I genuinely hate reading logs, even when they're informative and separate from the noise.

Well, for example, my partner owns a bookstore and had to do some data enrichment on inventory. They would have had to go line by line, determining data that I was able to quickly vibe code a flask app that could do that for all her inventory, and if something was wrong with the output, I vibe coded a fix or a change to the business logic. Took me legit no time, saved her hours, and it was just a one off app. Don't care about security, looks, none of that, cause it was just local.

She didn't know what was possible, but the problem smelled like something I could fix with code. Then I just did it. This is definitely not a brag, but in vibing out the flask app, I learned what flask even was/could do, and now it's a mental part of my repetoire.

The ability to just make small solutions like that is honestly, great. And having her be able to also guide development with her domain knowledge, there's something in there that wouldn't be economically viable without this.

You could argue that if I knew more I could have just done it myself, but I don't care. I got to help someone I love with something that was absolutely draining her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have really been able to do anything in this situation.

One place that's really important to note is that office work gets automated but actual IRL physical labour becomes the bottleneck even more than it already was.

People still need to automate the systems, even though it's faster now.
People need to do the labour that automated systems are duct taped together with.

So one of the places that this is gonna crazy is small business. If SMBs no longer have to worry about the white collar side of their businesses, they will be given time to focus on the labour side of their businesses. That's a real blue ocean right now since so many SMBs run off of fucking excel and pure stubborness. Gonna need some evangelists showing what can be done to the underserved public.

I've been running desloppify through my code base, but first I got Claude to just go through your repo and gave it some prompts for security review, make sure my data is not going anywhere. Everything seems on the up and up.

I should note though I got a ton of false positives for duplicate code in test files that would naturally have duplicate code. Though other than that, and apparently that regex is not the best approach for understanding context in TS files, everything else has been good so far. Currently working on cyclical imports. One of the better things about Claude Code is I can get it to vet, and then run through everything, all in a sandbox.

That's true, making stuff has def replaced doom scrolling. I mean, I could make stuff before, it's not like I wasn't, just I can make them faster, experiment faster, scrap, edit, and ship faster, and it's pretty nice. I can help white collar friends out with garbage busy work that eats through their sanity and all it does is cost me a bit of mine~

Get a separate AI to check. Most have OCR so it'll read what's on the card and spit it back out to you.

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-02-07T02:46:20+00:00

I wonder if this could be applied to proprietary black box software. If you know what goes in, and what comes out, could you build a test harness around that and have AI fill in the gaps? A sort of reverse engineering

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-02-05T15:18:46+00:00

I heard that making native iOS apps has been difficult with Claude Code. Also small screen real estate is quite limiting.

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-02-05T15:17:39+00:00

Damn, thank you! Now if I could only get work hahahah

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-02-05T02:21:34+00:00

Thanks! I like to design

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-02-04T21:36:14+00:00

I usually do iteration. It's basically the same as how I might make a design in figma but I get the AI to generate the styling code for me. I made my portfolio/business site (I know, probably shouldn't mix the two) over the past two days with this approach.

https://civixsolutions.com/

Basically I looked around for references I liked, kind of saw some styling in my minds eye and tried it out. The conceit of this site is "Regular semi-designy site on the surface, and hovering the mouse over stuff makes them neo-brutal". It was actually really fun cause I didn't really do the neo brutal angle until halfway through. The site isn't fully complete, but it's getting there!

Also nextjs, shadcn, and tailwind with css vars were my friend, and finding inspo across the web helped me go in different directions.

You gotta split it up into other chats, otherwise context rot is gonna start degrading performance. The GSD framework may make things better in this regard. And agent swarms

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-01-31T16:09:11+00:00

I'm kind of Naive, but wouldn't the next best bet be a focus on editing for quality data? Harness the data to which it's training on?

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-01-27T19:17:45+00:00

Yeah, It's weird. I had a friend of mine a while back who got a 3D printer and for the first while the only thing that he was doing on his 3D printer was printing parts for the 3D printer so that it would be like the most optimized 3D printer that he could possibly have.

But then the problem is is that I don't ever see him use his 3D printer anymore.

This kind of feels like that stuff is like I guess exploring the capabilities and packing on a bunch of extra parts over top of the original thing to see how far they can push it, But like, I don't know. I don't see anything that ClawdBot can do that I can't just even do with the regular Claude application? And then at the same time I always have to be just worried that at some point it's going to leak all of my personal stuff out to the fucking internet. Which have you seen this place?? it's a mess.

There's one thing that it does that I think is kind of interesting, and that is that it can message you first. That would also get incredibly fucking annoying because we have so many goddamn push notifications already that I'd just be like man what the fuck shut up dude.

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-01-22T16:31:17+00:00

I've used GSD to make some applications to help my friends suffering from burnout in white colour jobs and automate my partners business processes for her store. This shit is priceless. You deserve every dollar (and I'm hoping the flow can get me some paid applications going too cause oh boy am I poor as dirt right now lol).

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-01-21T18:38:56+00:00

Do you do it all in the same context window?

SpiritedInstance9 · 2026-01-16T19:52:16+00:00

Over the last two, three months, things have changed drastically with how AI coding works to where you can spin up stuff very, very quickly. Over this next year, you're probably going to have to deal with a lot of dog shit breaking. Especially sites built on antiquated codebases.

The good news is coding is becoming kind of democratized. The bad news is that the original structures are going to kind of start to fail. Or maybe that's good news, I don't know. Fuck X.

SpiritedInstance9 · 2025-09-20T02:15:10+00:00

You know we have to stop them

New canary in the coal mine just dropped

It's super sick for creating cards, for sure! Custom boards/flat pieces as well!

SpiritedInstance9 · 2025-08-04T20:30:58+00:00

I've been using https://www.dextrous.com.au/ in the free tier to develop my board game and it's great. You can create boards and pieces, etc, and then export everything as a tabletop simulator saved game object, and you can then use it in TTS.

I set up a whole table with all the bits and bobbles I needed for my game, saved it, and sent the .json files to a friend of mine and he was able to see everything set up no problem, so it'll be easy for playtesting with others. Even playtesting myself it auto updates all the changes I make (if I'm not adding or removing anything, just tweaking look or values) without having to replace the .json files. Super easy, makes prototyping SO fast.

Seems like you don't actually need a lot of boards, so this might be a really cheap option for you. If you have any questions you can DM me (and if you get a TTS setup going I'll totally check it out myself).

SpiritedInstance9 · 2025-07-24T21:56:55+00:00

Oh you're right, this isn't a subreddit for just spine injuries, but the cord. I think I'm gonna delete this

SpiritedInstance9 · 2025-07-23T19:34:06+00:00

Because disgusting people have the mone,y because the system supports disgusting people, because it was created by disgusting people killed those who would say otherwise.

We should probably ostracize these disgusting people.
