2018 when it was just a structured editor for wikis, with basic relational databases.

(Databases was, and still are, a bit half-baked but the thing was relatively fast & powerful vs say Confluence or Apple Notes)

It's still not great, but it's better than anything else.

Best results when:

1. run /init and let it maintain a CLAUDE.md

2. Ask it to run checks + tests before / after every task, and add those commands to the "no permission needed list" – this improves quality by a lot

3. Ask it to do TDD, but manually check the actual test is correct

4. Every time it finishes something solid: git commit manually, /compact context (saves hella $$$ + seems to improve focus)

Honestly I treat it like a junior programmer I'm pairing with. If you pay attention, you can catch it being stupid early and get it back on track. Best when you know exactly what you want, it's just boring work. It's really good with clear instructions, eg "Refactor X -> Y, using {design pattern}."

Ruby only has methods and everything is an object. So… that solves that.

emacs shortcuts are unintuitive by modern reference points, it's hard to learn.

M-x === hit x and the ESC key (of all things) at the same time?
