| I was kind of taken aback by the author's definition of 'terse'. I was expecting a discussion about architecture not about syntax aesthetics. Personally I don't like short variable names, short function names or overly fancy syntactical shortcuts... But I'm obsessed with minimizing the amount of logic. I want my codebases to be as minimalist as possible. When I'm coding, I'm discovering the correct lines, not inventing them. This is why I like using Claude Code on my personal projects. When Claude sees my code, it unlocks a part of its exclusive, ultra-elite, zero-bs code training set. Few can tap into this elite set. Your codebase is the key which can unlock ASI-like performance from your LLMs. My friend was telling me about all the prompt engineering tricks he knows... And in a typical midwit meme moment; I told him, dude, relax, my codebase basically writes itself now. The coding experience is almost bug free. It just works first time. I told my friend I'd consider letting him code on my codebase if he uses an LLM... And he took me up on the offer... I merged his first major PR directly without comment. It seems even his mediocre Co-pilot was capable of getting his PR to the standard. |
