> ### Rewriting Bun with dynamic workflows

> An example of what dynamic workflows can unlock at scale is the recent rewrite of Bun. Jarred Sumner used dynamic workflows to port Bun from Zig to Rust [..]

That's very interesting to hear!

> I'm working with Claude Code on session aaaaaaaa-bbbb-1223-3445-abcdefabcdef which I'd like to hand-off to you, do you know how to read the session, my input and Claude's output so we can resume where I left off?

gpt-5.5, medium effort. "Resumed" session fully in under 2 minutes. Outages like today's are so common that I've now got the time to re-evaluate Codex every other day.

This is more of a "it's not just you" post for those affected since Claude's status page is useless ("All Systems Operational"!)

This was a first for me with Sonnet. It completely veered off the prompt it was given (review a design document) and instead come out with a verbose suggestion to do a mechanical search and replace to use this newly fabricated function name - that it event spelled incorrectly. I had to Google numey to make sure Sonnet wasn't outsmarting me.

I wonder if this is even more exaggerated now through Easter, as everyone’s got a bit extra time to sit down and with Claude. That might be pushing capacity over the limit - I just don’t know enough about how Antropic provision and manage capacity to know if that could be a factor. However quality has gotten really bad over the holiday.

Another thing that worked like magic prior to Feb/Mar was how likely Claude was to load a skill whenever it deduced that a skill might be useful. I personally use [superpowers][1] a lot, and I've noticed that I have to be very explicit when I want a specific skill to be used - to the point that I have to reference the skill by name.

I was wondering if anyone else is also experiencing this? I have personally found that I have to add more and more CLAUDE.md guide rails, and my CLAUDE.md files have been exploding since around mid-March, to the point where I actually started looking for information online and for other people collaborating my personal observations.

This GH issue report sounds very plausible, but as with anything AI-generated (the issue itself appears to be largely AI assisted) it’s kind of hard to know for sure if it is accurate or completely made up. _Correlation does not imply causation_ and all that. Speaking personally, findings match my own circumstances where I’ve seen noticeable degradation in Opus outputs and thinking.

EDIT: The Claude Code Opus 4.6 Performance Tracker[1] is reporting Nominal.

My workflow started with me living in developer portals - Claude Workbench, OpenAI Platform, Vertex (the horrors of GCP's Console UI!) I would spend hours in these web UIs crafting prompts, iterating on system instructions, maintaining a carefully curated library of sessions. But the browser really wasn't optimised for this kind of interaction. Editing was clunky (muscle memory would close the tab instead and wipe my work), going back and forth between the LLM and myself felt off. So I had an idea: what if I could turn a Markdown document into an LLM chat interface?

At first I thought that would be enough - just do what I was already doing in the browser... but in Neovim. And sure enough having been accustomed to my own setup for the last decade I immediately felt a productivity boost. Writing functional requirement documents, statements of work, deep research across different systems - all of it felt better in "my" editor.

I then had a taste of Aider... and Claude Code... and all the other tools that were coming out. And Flemma felt lacking. So I started building: tool support, better conversation organisation, a proper UI to tame the noise that tool calls introduce.

Today, Flemma is a fully evolved AI workspace. It runs autonomous agent loops, interacts with multiple LLMs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex, Moonshot) and lets you switch providers mid-conversation - something I do occasionally during research, asking two or three different models for their take on a problem, then combining findings into a final document.

Under the hood, .chat files are just Markdown with role markers (@You:, @Assistant:), but Flemma treats them as a proper filetype with its own parser, AST, LSP server, template engine and sandboxed tool execution. The buffer *is* the state - no hidden database, no JSON history, no server process. Your conversations are portable, greppable and version-controllable (I backup mine in Git). You can close Neovim, reopen the file a week later and pick up exactly where you left off.

It's got prompt caching, extended thinking, 7 built-in tools, a layered config system that gets out of your way and a UI that keeps getting refined to bring the noise down and make long agent sessions pleasant to work in (not quite there yet).

Flemma is for anyone who'd rather stay in Neovim. If that's you, I'd love to hear what you think.

EDIT: and inevitably 10 minutes into the Opus outage the dreaded 529 Overloaded on Sonnet appears.
