Did you enable verbose output in the settings? That gives you a different view then pressing ctrl-o. And this naming is endlessly confusing!

Yeah, I didn't realize that there's a new sort of verbose mode now which is different than the verbose mode that was included previously. Although I'm still not clear on the difference between "verbose mode" and "ctrl + o". Based on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46982177 I think they are different (specifically where they say "while hiding more details behind ctrl+o".

Thank you for the config and the link, that's very much appreciated!

Wait so when the UI for Claude Code says “ctrl + o for verbose output” that isn’t verbose mode?

> Another thing: is it possible to turn off the words like finagling and similar (I can't remember the spelling of any of them) ?

Big +1 on that. I find the names needlessly distracting. I want to just always say a single thing like “thinking”

> To be clear: we re-purposed verbose mode to do exactly what you are asking for. We kept the name "verbose mode", but the behavior is what you want, without the other verbose output.

Verbose mode feels far too verbose to handle that. It’s also very hard to “keep your place” when toggling into verbose mode to see a specific output.

Specifically do you mean when you say git history is sent? How much of it is included in each request?

As someone who loves all the non-AI portions of Graphite (the CLI and the reviewer UI) should I be worried about this acquisition? Or will the CLI and Reviewer Ui continue to be be maintained and improved?

> He's also implying that Rails does not use web sockets to communicate with frontend which is not only wrong it should be evidently wrong to anyone who built a Rails app in the last 3 years

Where is the article saying that? I only see " Those things are possible in Rails and Laravel, but they take a bit more effort to set up." which is a very different (and more nuanced/personal take) then what you're stating.

I wish someone would make a keyboard with keycaps that are like 80% size. I think that would make it much easier to hit some of the keys that are further away.

Have you tried using key tilters? It makes a significant difference for me: https://sites.google.com/view/keyboards/hardware/accessories...

> glove80 has far and away the most comfortable thumb cluster for my hands

If I'm reading your reply further down the page right then you only use two of the 6 keys. Is that right? For me, I think I'd want to use at least 4 or 5 keys in my thumb cluster before I could call it comfortable.

The ex suffix could also come from Elixir (its a common pattern in many libraries)

One part of the answer to that is a land value tax. That way the “vultures” won’t be able to simply sit on the property waiting for it to appreciate before selling it.

Nice ideas! Do you have any tips for software to help automate some of those analyses?
