neovim + claude code + open terminal is exactly my setup! But all the heavy lifting I used to do simply I’m not doing it anymore. I spend most of the time creating new worktrees and reviewing code, and I guess I’m just not interested about the implementation details that much (not that I don’t look at the code, but minor styling things I just ignore them right now)
I’m transitioning to this new way of work btw, so I still haven’t made up my mind. That’s why I asked for someone else opinion here :)
I see a lot of valid points, so let me specify better: now that the way we write code drastically changed, did you change anything in your vim setup? Like plugins, habits, anything?
Right now I'm using TMUX with Claude Code and Vim side-by-side, but I mostly use vim to look at the code and make small changes, while I review the code changes directly on GitHub PRs.
And yes, I admit I look at the code less than before. For as much as I'd like to say it's untrue, I'm increasingly spending time in crafting skills to make sure they don't break the code, trusting the Coding Agent more and more, and consequently looking less at the code itself (which it doesn't mean I don't know how it works, I am in a sort of "reviewer mode" as a coworker writes it, with additional care and attention ofc).
So yeah I was wondering how did it change for you and if you think it still makes sense (it's my understanding that the agreement is "yes" apparently, with which I tend to agree!)
What you’re saying is super interesting, I’ve been using my setup for so long I might have missed some of the latest updates.
I spend most of my time on TMUX with Claude Code and vim side by side btw, but I’m using it just to search some specific code and making small changes.
I mostly review on GitHub PRs tbh
Maybe I don't use LinkedIn that much, but I saw it especially on X and Reddit... Just today I was on a Reddit post and saw so many AI sloppish comments from people trying to farm karma
Honestly same way I did before, checking periodically. There's a real challenge though: I'm getting less and less knowledgeable about the details of my own code, so it's hard to fact-check everything all the time.
Anyway, for now we're assisting to either outdated Docs (Coding Agents often don't even look at them), or to over-bloated ones (the slop is not just in the code). We should probably still find a balance between human readable docs (e.g. README.md) and LLM-tailored ones (e.g. llms.txt)
I think yes, I will keep using it for some analysis and documentation tasks, I think it's been really good at those. Also when I really wanna make sure about the quality of some piece of code, if not too large (otherwise I'll break it down first).
This is only feasible if you have a company and you can spend those money, I wouldn't if it was for personal use
"best" is a relative term, but in terms of technology we all use every day I would say either Linus Torvalds or Jeff Dean are up there among the best for sure
I think we have roughly the same rate of people following the hype as in the past, but their spamming capabilities is like 10x because of AI. I believe it'll adjust by itself, but for now let's brace through it together
