Zvi Mowshowitz on Claude Code
It is hard to go more than a few days without some major story or a new hype cycle on AI. Recently, a lot of people have discovered that Claude Code is quite good actually.
A blog I really enjoy, "Don't Worry About The Vase" by Zvi Mowshowitz, has extensive coverage of what is going on in the AI world. I'm always excited to have a look at his weekly AI updates on thursdays, even if I rarely finish the whole thing. He really is a prolific writer. See the latest one here: AI #154: Claw Your Way To The Top, focused on the recent OpenClaw and Moltbook hype (small aside, has that already died down again?)
Recently, he has started posting about Claude Code, and about how people are using it or realizing that it can do a lot for them. I find it VERY interesting! Coding agents are really transforming the way I work, and I think they are going to be a huge part of the future of work in general.
The posts primarily consists of snippets from Twitter with some commentary, but since I'm not on Twitter, this is a great way for me to get a sense of what people are saying about it. Here is the latest one: Claude Code #4: From The Before Times.
He pulls an interesting quote from Andrej Karpathy:
Andrej Karpathy: Love the word "comprehension debt", haven't encountered it so far, it's very accurate. It's so very tempting to just move on when the LLM one-shotted something that seems to work ok.
I was amused to try the new /insights command recently, mentioned here:
The new Claude Code command /insights will read your last month’s message history and give you suggestions to improve your workflow.
There is a section of best practices from different sources: Skilling Up
You can also go have a look at some of the previous ones, which are quite interesting as well: - Claude Codes - Claude Coworks - Claude Codes #3
