.@bcherny question on additionalDirectories prop in settings.json.
If I specify additionalDirectories, Claude does not load the CLAUDE.md files for them.
But if I start a session with `claude --add-dir ...`, Claude loads the context files for them.
This seems inconsistent. Is that intentional?
Shift in AI use:
Autocomplete ➔ review ➔ implementation.
Another:
Chat ➔ IDE ➔ terminal ➔ tmux.
What else?

The part people miss: the 6 months wasn't "saved" - it was compressed into your architecture decisions.
You're still doing 6 months of thinking. Just not 6 months of typing.
The bottleneck moved from execution to judgment.
This is interesting. Sort of related to AI context window.
And here I thought context window applies only to AI 🤔
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy thinks about himself in the third person — Past Tim, Future Tim, and the 225 half-hour Tims that make up each week.
Tim found a way to see what most of us miss: we’re all screwing over our future selves, one avoided transition at a time.
Medium enterprise companies are going to be slowest to adopt agents, in particular the more complex Gas Town-ish setups.
It's like higher education resisting innovation for decades.
X feed full of AI made me use bookmarks because X is where the frontier of LLM use is.
So, I built an Chrome extension with OpenCode (to try it, using CC otherwise).
Then I checked X feed and saw 3 other people having built much cooler CLI tools.
Stuff moves fast 😅🚀
