  2. Claude can be verbose. One thing I've found, in the spirit of Strunk & White's, "Elements of Style" is to direct Claude that "every word should tell".

  3. After working with Claude, I realized I had zero visibility into what was eating my tokens or what security risks were being taken. So, I built a pkg that sits between you and Claude, reading every tool call before it executes.

  4. I grew up in the war on terror era , covid era and now ai boom. Is this normal to see such big trends/events or maybe the world was always facing rapid changes Musk is on his way to become the first trillionaire with questionable stock mar…

  5. ----- **TL;DR:** Maxed out Claude with skills, including Superpowers. Got slow and incoherent.

  6. Hi HN, I built Thelawin because EU e-invoicing is one of those boring problems that gets surprisingly deep once you ship it. The basic idea is simple: send invoice JSON, get an EU e-invoice back.

    DeepSeek-V4-Pro is a 1.6T parameter Mixture-of-Experts model supporting one million-token context, with significant improvements in efficiency and stability through hybrid attention and manifold-constrained hyper-connections. Community highlights include its cost-effectiveness via the official API and exceptional performance in large code change evaluations, with some noting its surprisingly robust output capability despite a 384K max token limit.

    Microsoft is keeping its Copilot tool for Windows 11 but renaming it, while issues with rate limits and a security proxy have sparked concerns among users of GitHub Copilot. Meanwhile, Anthropic released a report on agentic coding trends, highlighting that developers use AI in about 60% of their work.

  8. I built a github repo to track all the claude connectors and update it weekly. The connector market place is growing pretty quickly.

  9. Hello, What is the best way to teach Cursor to avoid the same mistakes? I was recently building a Figma plugin and for debugging purpose, Cursor kept adding debug logs to an internal local host server inaccessible through Gigma's sandbox e…

  10. I built this tool for my own freelance web dev work after running into this pain point way too many times, wanted to share it with the community in case it helps anyone else. The core approach: I noticed vibe coding works great when requir…

  11. Posts here about burning through credits fast and choosing between different model tiers keep making me think the real question is no longer just “which model is smartest?” In Cursor, the practical pain often feels different. It’s the mode…

  12. I'm prompted to update to v1.4758.0. I know that Claude code is no longer supported by the pro plan.

  13. Hook lifecycle Hooks fire at specific points during a Claude Code session. When an event fires and a matcher matches, Claude Code passes JSON context about the event to your hook handler.

  16. The workspace agents announcement from OpenAI is interesting but it's forcing a real decision for teams already running custom agent setups. Option A is leaning into OpenAI's native workspace agents.

  18. Cloudflare wrapped Agents Week last week. The enterprise MCP stuff caught my eye.

  19. Running production Claude agents for 35 days. Some behavioral patterns I've confirmed with reproducible tests: **Pattern 1: Constraint adherence weakens at high token depth*\* Test: System: "Always respond in JSON.
