Claude Code is blowing my mind—the 1st thing I’ve seen amid the AI hype that feels truly transformative One example—we’ve been doing genre classification work & I had the thought "it’d be nice to have a web application that lets users tag newspaper texts"—literal minutes later it exists & works

How I've been using Claude Code
I've been using Claude Code a lot recently, and having a pretty good time of it. This is my report on that, and what I've found does and doesn't work well.
Claude Code, Codex and Agentic Coding #8
When I started this series, everyone was going crazy for coding agents.
Pluralistic: It’s extremely good that Claude’s source-code leaked (02 Apr 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

I suspect we're approaching a time where if you want to protect creative work, it has to be something that can't be digitized.

There's a word for what we're feeling
youtu.beVery sad to see Rick get driven off of Bluesky by sharing a report of using Claude Code to do something cool and useful. The absolute vitriol towards software developers trying out LLMs—which are very good at writing code, mind you—is so tiresome.

I won't be posting here anymore. The toxicity is fucking ridiculous. I'm very disappointed.
