Uggggg I just implemented Better Auth for our new product - time to start looking for backup plans. I used to be a huge Vercel fanboy but everything they have done in the last few years turns into a complicated mess.
I have found a different model should be used to do the review - like if Claude did the code, Codex should review. Models reviewing their own code is a recipe for disaster.
This website seems to have been generated by Codex - I asked Codex to create an HTML overview of a feature for my team and it made an overly produced monstrosity - complete with the same large stat boxes that were for the most part devoid of meaningful information - using the same font, colors, layout, hero section, etc. It was also terrible on mobile just like this is.
In the end I had Claude produce a one-page html file that was 95% of the way there and it took minor editing to clearly explain the intent of the feature.
There is a fintech startup that surrounds me at my co-working place. They literally stop working and shoot the shit with each other if Claude has a hiccup.
Yesterday one asked another "how much of this deck did Claude do"? and the response was "50%". "What 50% did you do?" => "I chose the font and colors".
I loved Zed for a few years - but their insistence on not letting Claude Code use Zed as an external editor forced me to build my own IDE.
This turned out to be pretty awesome because I built something completely customized to my workflow and it has increased my productivity by several factors.
If my math is right they can acquire about 1800 (lowish end) enterprise AI-capable GPUs for $50M so exactly what are they going to do with that? Seems pretty small.
For me, iterating with Claude begins to degrade at 200k context used, by 350k it’s crossed-fingers time, by 500k it’s essentially useless. Starting a fresh context after 300k is usually the best move imho. I wonder if people are hitting a case where Claude becomes both dumb and increasingly more expensive, essentially a doom loop.
I have 0 problem with this. Everybody who was using a Pro subscription with OpenClaw should of expected to be living on borrowed time. The more Anthropic can do to keep the Pro subscriptions at their current price point, the better. It is the best deal in tech imho.
Management and product needing vision and foresight is an excellent call out. I can't help but think a lot of these self-proclaimed 9-9-6 startups are in reality 11-3-6 startups with a bunch of wasted time padding to 9-9-6.
Their burn agent mode is pretty badass, but is super costly to run.
I'm a big fan of Zed but tbf I'm just using Claude Code + Nvim nowadays. Zed's problem with their Claude integration is that it will never be as good as just using the latest from Claude Code.
I love Zed but this has all the hallmarks of something being totally rushed out the door.
It works off the Claude Code SDK, which mean it doesn't support many of the built in slash commands - it doesn't support /compact, which is 100% necessary because when you use this implementation enough, you'll eventually get a "Prompt too long" error message with no ability to do anything about it. Since you can't see how far you are in the context window, it's a deal breaker, since you have to start a fresh chat and might run out of room before you can ask it to create a summary prompt for continuing.
There is no way to switch models that I can tell - I think it just picks up on your default model - and there is no way to switch to Plan mode, which has become absolutely crucial to my workflow.
I didn't see Zed picking up on problems reported in the IDE, it was defaulting to running 'tsc -b' in my directories.
At this point it's better to run a terminal inside Zed and work from there. The official response in the Zed Discord has been "talk to your local Anthropic rep" to get them to support Zed's Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
