In one of The Wire s most famous scenes, one that could be taught in a linguistics class, Bunk and McNulty reconstruct a crime scene for almost four minutes saying nothing but “fuck” and its variations. They pace through an apartment, measure trajectories, find the bullet, piece together what happened, and the only word in the [ ] The post F*** you, Claude: How I use natural language as telemetry…
Here s a quick one. My favorite Claude habit, the one that gives me the most consistent and measurable results, is not a complex skill or a complex command inside CLAUDE.md, but a simple question (posted in a codeblock, to view in all its glory): When I ask Claude something complex and I don’t know the [ ] The post My favorite Claude habit: “Are you sure?” appeared first on Giorgos Sarigiannidis .
It started as a couple therapy session, where I asked Claude why it didn t pay enough attention to what I was saying, and kept forgetting things I was certain we had already discussed. As if nothing was wrong, Claude said that it had no memory of such conversation and preferences. But I remember you writing [ ] The post In Search of (Claude’s) Lost Time appeared first on Giorgos Sarigiannidis .
There’s something slightly absurd about writing a skill that teaches Claude Code how to write skills. But here we are. A quick note for readers who haven’t come across the concept: skills are SKILL.md files that extend Claude Code’s behavior for specific situations. Drop one into ~/.claude/skills/ name / and Claude picks it up automatically, activating when [ ] The post On writing a skill about…
Every session with Claude Code starts fresh, with no memory of last week’s project, no recollection of the patterns that worked, no awareness of the constraints you’ve established in other contexts. That’s just how it works: you bring the context, it brings the capability. If you don’t bring enough context, you spend the first part [ ] The post Retro is back in style (at least with Claude Code)…
Not so long ago, if you wanted to do something new on your computer, you d search for an app. Not necessarily one that did exactly what you wanted, but close enough to be worth it. You d accept the limitations, the bloat you didn t need, and all the conventions that didn t quite match how you thought [ ] The post When you can t find it, build it yourself with Claude Code and Obsidian appeared…
If you use Claude Code for both personal projects and work, you have probably already run into the problem: two accounts, one computer, and no obvious way to tell which one is active at any given moment. When I got a second Claude account for work, the first question I had was how to keep [ ] The post Running two Claude Code accounts without discombobulating, befuddling or bamboozling appeared…
According to legend, a Kratt is assembled from whatever scraps are at hand, like straw, sticks, old tools, and brought to life by making a pact with the devil. Once animated, it becomes an obedient servant that fetches things, carries loads, and does work on your behalf, tirelessly and unseen. I had two good reasons [ ] The post Experimenting with AI-Assisted Block Composition in WordPress 7.0…
Maintaining an open-source WordPress plugin all by yourself is a challenging task. There is no sprint planning, no code review from colleagues, no one to catch the thing you missed at 11 PM. But most importantly, there is not enough time: it s something that you do outside your day job, during weekends and holidays. That s the reason I often end up neglecting my [ ] The post Using AI as a…
Imagine sitting on the roof of a tall building, looking down. A friend waves at you. You want to go down and meet them. The only options that cross your mind are taking the stairs or the elevator. Jumping off the rooftop is not an option you ever consider, and for a good reason (call [ ] The post The alien on the rooftop: The Engineer s (dis)advantage in an AI world appeared first on Giorgos…
