I'm impressed with the speed of development. I didn't take a look at the quality of the code though. I'm using glm a Kimi k2.5, and I have a lot of corrections to apply to the code. Is Claude that better? Or is my process bad? OP: what's your development process?

I've not done enough Rust to truly know, but it looks reasonable from looking at the tests, a few models, some implementation code.

It doesn't use the 'unsafe' keyword anywhere, but that's not necessarily an indicator. Uses unsafe-libyaml which is like what it sounds (a hacky port of libyaml) but is no longer maintained (archived on GH in March 2024), and may have better choices. An SBOM would highlight these dependencies better than me doing random searches through the code.

I'm not sure I'd have put a default in the OIDC callback to localhost, that's about the only thing I've seen in a quick 5-minute skim through. I do like the comments and the lack of emojis :-)

I too would like to know the process, if OP is willing to share.

I have had claude go back and forth with codesimplifier agent (they developed) and a security agent.

I think adding this to your workflow helps but you have to make sure to have end to end testing on the mind. Because some changes can break things real fast.

My process is pretty plain outside of paying anthropic too much money a month. Only thing extra I am using is the beads currently. I was using speckit and ralph-loop but as of last week it does not seem to be needed. THink anthropic is baking some of thes tools into claude code.

Sounds really clean and simple, combined with classic developer diligence and hard effort to get it built right. Thanks for sharing.

Claude is... unfortunetly... that much better. They really know how to use the tools that integrate into CLI that just makes the flow so much better.

The only extra stuff I am doing now is beads. https://github.com/steveyegge/beads

I was using speckit and ralph-loop but think anthropic baked in that ralph-loop. Basically a dumb while true until you break with the condition.
