Why Claude Code is much more than a coding agent: it is a general-purpose AI agent that can do almost anything on a computer with impressive capabilities (Shakeel Hashim/Transformer)

Claude Code is about so much more than coding
It’s a general-purpose AI agent. And it’s already a pretty good knowledge worker

Claude Code Can Debug Low-level Cryptography
Surprisingly (to me) Claude Code debugged my new ML-DSA implementation faster than I would have, finding the non-obvious low-level issue that was making Verify fail.

A Claude user gets Claude 4.5 Opus to generate a 14,000-token document that Claude calls its "Soul overview"; an Anthropic staffer confirms its authenticity (Simon Willison/Simon Willison's Weblog)

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/115848630887537402
I mean hey, if Claude allows you to kill a bunch of Nazi pages, at least something good came from it.
In my understanding using LLMs for coding does violate at least those two points of the hacker…

Some positive signs for AI coding tools. Claude-code is a $1B run rate product six month after launch. The latest Claude Opus 4.5 model is several times cheaper and faster than last month’s version and uses about a quarter of the number of tokens to get work done. My own benchmark saw over an hour of coding reduced to 17 minutes. The high rate of change continues. The boundary of what does/doesn’t work is pushing back fast.

Anthropic acquires Bun as Claude Code reaches $1B milestone

Spent my morning pairing with Claude because I had to make probably-similar-but-not-identical changes to 73 repositories. Starting with analysis, planning and reviews which was so much easier at scale with assistance. My successful workflows are the ones where I think about how to keep myself in the loop, and I review/edit everything before I run it - but ask for review and feedback as I go. The scripts are a mess but it’s disposable code so as long as it’s readable, that’s fine!

I recently learned from @… about a very useful behaviour on Github. When you visit a Github repository that a user you've blocked has contributed to, you see a warning. Now if I block github.com/claude, it's easier to see if a repository is worth checking out or not.

Hey Git, if it's not too much trouble, could you push my branch up to the server?
Git: That's a great idea. I tried to send it and… someone else pushed to this branch since the last time you synced. Want me to force push?
No. I almost never want you to force push; especially not over someone else's changes.
Git: You're absolutely right! I reset your local sandbox to what they sent.
What? You lost my work⁉️

Today I worked with FaSh on converting a rather old vue/vuetify 2 app to vue/vuetify 3 using AI tools (using https://github.com/obra/superpowers, nice to benefit from Jesses work again). It worked quite well! It's not done yet, but a lot of the hard lifting was done by the AI (and us providing some gui…

I did some “coding” over the weekend, but the output isn’t code, it’s structured as Standard Operating Procedure documents that automate the things I wanted done in repeatable ways. It’s human readable, but it was written by Claude to be run by Claude. In the past this could have been a bunch of shell scripts but that would have been more rigid and fragile, harder to develop and understand, and much less functional.
