When Valve announced the new Steam Machine, I was genuinely excited. I’m not an avid gamer myself. I built a solid PC thinking I would get back into gaming, but after playing through The Witcher 3 and Space Marine 2, life happened, priorities changed, and the machine sat silent. But I have a son who is just old enough that we can start playing games together on a console.
A few weeks ago, Anthropic released their system prompts for Claude models to the mere mortals. I’ve been coding with Claude 3.5 Sonnet since its release using my custom-built Neovim plugin. Of course, I couldn’t resist the temptation to modify the system prompt for software development.
Have you ever felt like you are trying to tame a wild animal? A fierce, ever-changing beast that constantly needs our attention and obedience? That’s exactly how I feel about Neovim. It has become both my greatest tool and my never-ending challenge.
