Thanks so much for saying this!

Even with a single instance of Claude Code, running I am producing so much code that it is impossible to even self-review.

Can we please focus on that?

Self-review is an anti-pattern.

  • Just to be clear, when I say that it is impossible even to self review, it was an indication of how difficult is to review code of colleagues.

  • So much this. We don't review the assembly/machine-code that the compiler creates, why do we still review the code the AI generates?

    If it works as desired then ship it; if it doesn't then iterate until it does.

    • _because compiling a code language into machine language is deterministic_.

      If you think that compiling and explaining in English something to an LLM so it outputs code is the same activity, I just hope to never have you as a coworker.

    • This is only OK where “it works” is the only criteria for accepting a software change.

    • Because the compiler does a deterministic transform on the input. And the input is less ambiguous than natural language and following more strict rules.

      Why ask obvious things?

We simply need neural implant technology to overclock our brains, making the world (and its Claude instances) appear to go slower.

  • You got downvoted but your joke made me think of the show The Dark Matter and how they had the concept of a hallway with infinite doors to represent the multiverse to the human brain that cannot comprehend the state of superposition.

    I sort of get what you're going for maybe? In a sense these things are gonna evolve at a rate where we are not going to be able to operate at their plane and we will need a sort of UX translation

I built some tools that lets me view diffs and summon agents to execute changes. You can probably vibe code that in a few minutes.
