Services with monthly costs are a slightly worse deal in February
The new @plex media playing UI shows a play button when playing and a pause button when paused. Rookie mistake. You really think a company like Plex would get something like that right.

This abstraction is perfect. Can't wait to give it a try

The new improvements and features coming to @claudeai and #ClaudeCode are awesome but there seems to be so little thought to so many as to how they're to be actually discovered/used. Would you even know about auto mode if you weren't following Claude Code changelog or tweets?

> Make features opt-in Maybe having features like "auto mode" not hiding behind ENABLE_FEATURE=1 or --use-feature flags would help? Claude has so many hidden features that unless you actively keep up (or know someone), it's inevitable you miss some that would be relevant to you

👋 Appreciate the feedback. Since we introduced Claude Code at Anthropic, engineering velocity has increased hundreds of %, and the rate at which it is increasing is itself accelerating. The velocity is very much not performative -- we're actively trying to figure out how to build effectively when all of the code is written by Claude. Claude has accelerated the pace at which we ship, and as a result we've been hitting all sorts of new bottlenecks: code review and regression prevention, CI and merge queues, source control reliability, etc. We're working through each of these as they come up, and now have good answers for a number of them. One of these bottlenecks is figuring out how to best communicate new features to our users. My pov is we need to be doing much better here. The problem isn't that we are releasing quickly, the problem is that we should design features in a way where you don't need to know about them to benefit from them. This is the case for much of what we build, and we need to make it the case for all of it. To share how we think about it, there's a few ways to approach it from a product design pov: - Make it so the model can do things for you (eg. enter plan mode, invoke skills, configure your settings) - Generalize features rather than create new parallel features - Make features opt-in until we do the above - Have Claude monitor feature usage and brainstorm/build ways to improve usage while simplifying the system We try to do all of the above, but as you said, it's not perfect yet, and this is something we're working through. If you prefer a lagging version, you can also use the Claude Code stable release (not latest). We're intentionally being open about what we're seeing, since our customers are seeing the same thing and at least part of our job is helping companies navigate this new way of doing engineering. Re: source code leak -- it was unintentional, but was also human error. There was a subtle bug that missed several rounds of manual review. We're working on how we can better catch it automatically next time.

Frustrating comparing how effective I am finding @claudeai Code with my experience with Claude Desktop "Chat|Cowork|Code" awkwardly fragments capabilities Why does it only support a single chat in a single window? Feels like a different product rather than a cohesive UX

Desktop still doesn't have Voice Mode, although @claudeai Voice Mode on iOS keeps hearing its own voice and interrupting itself, so not sure I miss it much.

The bug reporting flow in @browsercompany's @arcinternet browser (@joshm) used to be delightful but now involves arguing with an AI chat bot. Why even have the Early Birds program ?! I'd just ditch the report if it weren't about the complete break of a primary feature 🙃

Look, @arcinternet may have sent this to others too, but I've reported quite a few!

RSS feeds powering Live Folders seems like such a natural extension of @arcinternet. New feed items show up as pinned items in the folder, button/automation to remove once read, easy ability to move from live folder to longer-lived folder @ArcMembership @browsercompany @joshm

Best of all, @arcinternet's Live Folders support tons of websites instantly, rather than needing to be hand-coded for individual cases (e.g. GitHub Pull Requests).

If you're enjoying @standupmaths' YouTube shenanigans I cannot more highly recommend his and pals' Festival of the Spoken Nerd ( festivalofthespokennerd.com/ ). Matt's bonus video with himselves on recursion is worth the entry price alone!

For how long @evernote has been around, I am really surprised at how clunky so many parts of its UX are. For example, want to rename a Notebook you just created? Good luck...

The new dashboard inspired by @ChristianNilaus for the start of my first (also Nilaus-inspired) #Factorio mega-base!

I heard you can watch @TheSlowMoGuys on Oculus Quest and saw an interview with @GavinFree and @Testedcom but I can't find it on the @oculus store at all (no search results for "Slo Mo", "SloMo", "Slo-Mo", "Slo", "The Slo", ...), and Oculus TV doesn't show it and has no search...
Has your Slack updated to the new WYSIWYG editor yet? @SlackHQ can we please have an option to disable? :( For fun: try entering _*_*_*_*_* (underscore, asterisk) back and forth.

Just got Mirage working in a Create-React-App app and life is good again (h/t @samselikoff @cowboyd @robdel12)

I struggle to remember the difference between Apple Watch's Mute Mode, Silent Mode, Do Not Disturb Mode, and Theater Mode. They all sound so similar but are subtly different in their effect.
