I actually feel offended with a download size this big, it's completely careless from the website owners

I've got about ~15 repos for a project and I just start Claude Code in the parent directory of all of them, so it has clear visibility everything and cross-reference whatever it needs.... super handy.

This is the big one for me, I hate all that lag with bluetooth, signal interference, and constantly wondering which device my headphones have connected to. So much easier for so many reasons, with a wire!

100% agree with this, as much as I hate the term "game-changer"... it truly is, I'm working on projects that I've always wanted to do but never had the capacity (or money to pay a small team of devs to build something)-- all these things that you thought you'd never have a chance to do, are suddenly now real and completely possible. I know there's a lot of AI haters out there but I'm pretty sure in time, all devs will embrance it and truly enjoy working with it

Why not just get a Linux phone running Ubuntu Touch or postmarketOS. You'd have full root access, sideloading etc and none of that corporate control, likely for half the price of an iPHone. Sure you'd lose all the Apple look/feel but at least you can do what you want with the phone.

I agree with you about the Claude Code TUI. I switched to it weeks after it was released. The browser interface is great for quick chats and talking through ideas/concepts, but not for coding. What I love about the TUI is that it can see all your repos as once so it has the full picture all the time. You can't get that with the web version.

"I have a tendency to go down rabbit holes when faced with problems - give me a minor inconvenience and I’ll happily spend weeks building something far more elaborate than the situation warrants."

You don't know how happy I was to read this... I thought I had a serious problem with getting distracted with my "projects" but it seems this is much more normal than I thought ;-)

Darkrealms BBS 4 months ago

Ahhhh, the memories. I ran a Telegard BBS for a couple years back in those days, I remember being so proud to finally get a USRobotics 9600 baud modem that was so fast compared to everything we had before it. I remember having to take the board "down" to be able to dial into other BBSes in the area, and having to manully start the uploads and downloads with Ymodem-G and Zmodem. I can't remember exactly why, but I have memories of Xmodem not being great! Sadly it all ended when a new user sent tricked me into running a "game" as an upload to prove he was legit, and told me that I didn't need to do the voice verification (as a good Sysop would have always done). Of course I trusted him, and ran the thing-- turned out to be some nasty trojan and all I remember was the text "file allocation table (followed by some other not so nice words)" across the screen over and over again, forgot the rest. Hard drive FUBAR'ed. Awful moment. Phone rings a few moments later and the there he was, asking how the "game" was and laughing... almost like the "did you check the children" line from When a Stranger Calls! That was my first and last BBS... good times regardless, despite the virus incident!
