Sleep is the biggest performance enhancer. They should ban that.

More is known about optimal fuelling, hydration and sleep. Improve those and you improve your daily training. Better quality training compounds and allows you to reach closer to your talent ceiling.

Kerr also had a system set up so his bedroom had less oxygen than the rest of his house (to mimic sleeping at altitude).

He had two pacers breaking the air for the first 1,000m (although he had to do it himself the rest of the way, which was bloody impressive). Meant he could relax mentally for the first 2.5 laps and didn't have to focus on pace. I think El Guerrouj set the previous WR in a race without pacers.

They also had pacing lights on the track which helps the pacers run at an even pace.

And there are all sorts of innovations like taking sodium bicarbonate to reduce muscle acidity, nitrates to dilate the veins and increase blood flow to muscles and high doses of caffeine to reduce the rate of perceived exertion.

As someone else mentioned, track surfaces are generally a little bouncier now than they used to be.

I can't even see people's email addresses when they sign up (as they just sign into their Claude Code account), but I get that you'd have to just take that on faith for now.

As it's a desktop app, someone can just point a proxy at it and watch exactly what it sends. You'll see that nothing like your conversations with Claude or even your login ever leave the app.

VS Code with the extension uses Electron (heavy, because it bundles its own Chromium), extension host, and language servers which is what causes it to crash when you run multiple agents.

Abralo has a Rust backend (0% CPU) and has one shared webview (your native one).

But it's worth saying that the agents themselves use a huge amount of memory however you run them. That's why it's important not to layer additional overhead on top of each.

If there’s no sensible solution, I’ll personally move to another coding agent (and will add that compatibility to Abralo).

Let me know how the weekend goes.

I've been using Claude Code for almost everything lately. Have given one an email account so it can research business leads, draft emails, fact-check them and clear them with me before sending (works really well by the way). I also tend to have a few Claude Code agents running at any one time for coding.

I used to create a split terminal to manage them from there, but found working in the terminal all day pretty depressing and, more importantly, found it hard to follow Claude Code's process and see which agents needed my immediate attention.

I tried Anthropic's VS Code Claude Code extension and it had a great UI (more info on Claude Code's process and easier to read), but it crashed my PC when I ran more than 3 and I couldn't watch multiple agents in parallel (had to constantly switch between them).

So I built a lightweight Tauri desktop app which lets you run multiple Claude Code agents in one window alongside each other. It's easier to read the output and see which agents need your attention than a terminal.

Have been using this all day everyday instead of an IDE and have obsessed over every detail to make sure it's easy-to-use, but also lightweight and fast (so you can manage multiple agents without your PC crashing).

There are some nice features like better usage alerts for when you're going to hit your 5-hour and weekly limits (with sparklines to show when usage peaked, and which agents are the most token-intensive).

It's free to use (you just need to log in with your existing Claude Code account) for up to 4 agents simultaneously. This app doesn't store your Claude Code account details and doesn't store any of your interactions with Claude Code. They remain between you and Anthropic. It's compatible with Windows, MacOS and 64-bit Linux.

Would really appreciate any feedback, so if you have any thoughts, issues or suggestions please let me know.

Thanks, Chris
