This article feels like it was written as a dialectical exercise between an AI and a human. It would probably benefit from some more heavy human editing to make it more succinct and to give the overall article a structure. As it is, it's very difficult to follow along.
I’ve seen a lot of articles like this on the HN page recently… stuff that has one or two interesting tidbits, but is clearly just a conversation someone had with an AI and dumped into an article. Don’t make me wade through all the AI word barf to get the interesting points, that’s what old fashioned editing is for.
Did you read his conclusion?
"I wrote this entire article in the Claude Code interactive window. The TUI flash (which I've read is a problem with the underlying library that's hard to fix) is really annoying, but it's a really nice writing flow to type stream of consciousness stuff into an editor, mixing text I want in the article, and instructions to Claude, and having it fix up the typos, do the formatting, and build the UX on the fly.
Nearly every word, choice of phrase, and the overall structure is still manually written by me, a human. I'm still on the fence about whether I'm just stuck in the old way by preferring to hand-craft my words, or if models are generally not good at writing.

Either he's lying, or you're wrong.
Agree on the structure part. I mostly read it as a piece from someone who's having fun with the tool. Not a structured article for future generations.
