As I get deeper into the Claude-O-Verse, I get that it doesn’t remember anything about the code. The code actually serves as its memory of the project. There are comments in the code of course, put there by Claude. Managing my own memory when I’ve got so many different bits of software is the bain of my existence, esp as I get older and older. But I’ll turn it all over to Claude as fast as I can, to relieve me of the responsibility to remember all that stuff. Its brain works much better at this kind of stuff. I can conceive of things worth doing. And I know how to build the features, but I don’t have the skill of immediately understanding some code by reading it not top down but all the lines at the same freaking time. If this isn’t us learning how to work with an aliens species, it’s a pretty good imitation. #

There’s going to be a lot of new web software in the coming months. The competition changes from managing complexity to who sees the best way to remix the web. There are a lot ways to do it. #
