How does modo help vs using a skill or claud.md that says to always do this?

Not a critique just giving you a chance to sell it :)

I feel bad saying this because so many folks have not had the best of luck, but it's changed the game for me.

I'm building out large multi-repo features in a 60 repo microservice system for my day job. The AI is very good at exploring all the repos and creating plans that cut across them to build the new feature or service. I've built out legacy features and also completely new web systems, and also done refactoring. Most things I make involve 6-8 repos. Everything goes through code review and QA. Code being created is not slop. High quality code and passes reviews as such. Any pushback I get goes back in to the docs and next time round those mistakes aren't made.

I did a demo of how I work in AI to the dev team at Math Academy who were complete skeptics before the call 2 hours later they were converts.

One thing you could look into is body doubling sites like flow club. It doesn't solve the core issue but might help in a small way outside of work hours. Outside of the internet I keep hearing that Pickleball is the most social sport around! Also have you tried hanging out and working at Starbucks (or similar) after some time (weeks) in the same place it's inevitable to start making connections. Also co-working spaces can offer connections, and they usually have various club goings on on notes on the pin boards etc. One thing I do know is that it takes quite a few times / weeks of time turning up to the same place for conversation to start. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Hmm. TIL: The real exposure isn't Anthropic, OpenIA claiming your code, it's you unknowingly distributing someone else's GPL code because the model silently reproduced it, with essentially zero recourse for the model owner.

> Any idiot can now prompt their way to the same software.

It may look the same, but it isn't the same.

In fact if you took the time to truly learn how to do pure agentic coding (not vibe coding) you would realize as a principal engineer you have an advantage over engineers with less experience.

The more war stories, the more generalist experience, the more you can help shape the llm to make really good code and while retaining control of every line.

This is an unprecedented opportunity for experienced devs to use their hard won experience to level themselves up to the equivalence of a full team of google devs.

Thanks, I've been very focused on lightwave and as a result let that one slide a bit. I'll try to get it working in next week or so.

Yes, since I spent over 10 years writing it in the first place it was easy to verify!

I used Claude to document, in great detail, a 500k-line codebase in about an hour of well-directed prompts. Just fully explained it, how it all worked, how to get started working on it locally, the nuance of the old code, pathways, deployments using salt-stack to AWS, etc.

I don't think the moat of "future developers won't understand the codebase" exists anymore.

This works well for devs who write their codebase using React, etc., and also the ones rolling their own JavaScript (of which I personally prefer).

It's related to keyboard layout. I've got a linux/windows keyboard coming in the mail. Will get it fixed. (it works with option+shift on osx)

will look into ctrl backspace to delete words like that idea

> Shift + Home/End for selecting text doesn't work > Ctrl + N for a new page doesn't work

One thing that's weird is that things like that are so easy for me to implement it's just sugar on top. Honestly I would just love to have a few folks tinkering with it saying hey it needs these few things. Just hard for one dev to think of all the things!

Oh wow, thanks so much! Let me know how it goes, happy to tweak any annoyances.
