The instacart button is kind of crazy. I'll casually watch videos and when something looks good, I can have the ingredients to make it delivered within the hour.
when you have an "unlimited" access to food, you have to have self imposed scarcity to eat the diet that our bodies are designed to intake. It doesn't help that there is weaponized fat, salt, and corn in colorful bags everywhere you look.
TL;DR https://claudemd.dev is where you can find guidelines to make your vibe coding more effective
If you haven't used claude code, I highly recommend you check it out. You may have used other AI tools in development, but being a cli with a refined "plan" step has revolutionized my development workflow. The fact that I can dispatch three prompts to run concurrently, and reliably trust the actions being taken feels incredible. I am spending less time thinking about code and more about the higher level direction of the code.
If you want claude code to be more reliable in its output, it can further be directed by using CLAUDE.md files. These files are included in the plan step and significantly improve the quality of its output. What makes a useful CLAUDE.md is similar to a well written style guide [1]. By providing a set of guidelines for what patterns to follow, the LLM can be more focused when building its plan. In a sense, a CLAUDE.md can be thought of as a "language semantics" for your codebase or directory for how to "compile" your thoughts into actions. Fortunately, you don't need to write your semantics in BNF [2], but the completeness of your semantics matter nonetheless. Without forethought, an LLM will happily come up with its own plan for your codebase.
I thought of and published https://claudemd.dev last night with the idea that sharing these files will improve the quality of code that we will be writing for this next abstraction of software development.
I like yaegi [1] for go because it is an interpreter for the go language (almost fully supported, generics need some love). The most important part for me is being able to keep all my language tooling when switching between interpreted/compiled code. Also, there is little needed distinction between what is going to be interpreted and compiled. Once you start including libraries it gets dicey and the need for including the libraries in the compiled part is necessary. There is also a blog post that comes along with it describing how it was built! [2]
I have really fallen in love with LISP recently, specifically clojure. A strong type system is really needed for it to make me feel like I can confidently develop with it.
