This week is being spent, among other things, teaching Claude how to write code that fits in with my library of apps. I like this. It’s like a painter telling an assistant the rules for adding to the sculpture. Art has been practiced like that for a long time. Anyway, here’s an example of my side of a workflow where we’re getting its dialog management code, that works fine, so it fits in with the other code. “these all look good, and the last one is most important, we don’t need a blob of html to be there before you run, you create the dom structures you need. this may seem inefficient, but it makes it much easier to add a new element, or even more complex changes. that won’t matter much to you, but when a human is editing it matters a lot. simplicity makes work flow better and reduces chance of being detoured by a bug that has to be found and fixed.” I didn’t edit that at all. I am also teaching it why things work the way they do because of differences between machines and humans. I’m learning a lot about our strength and weakness from seeing how it would work, left to its own needs (ie no human-edited code base, just AI-edited). #
