“There are a lot more ways that systems break, and the difference between an incident that lasts, say, 20 minutes and one that lasts four hours can come down to whether someone with a relevant bit of knowledge happens to be around and can bring that knowledge to bear.”

“But I think it’s a mistake to attribute primary responsibility to the engineers at those companies. If you could wave a magic wand and make every engineer twice as strong, you would still have bad code, because almost nobody can come into a brand new codebase and quickly make changes with zero mistakes.”

“There are many ways to do work that don’t matter and there are many ways to do work that matters but fail to articulate that value well. Owning a graph solves both of these problems.”

Wrote a small xplat app in go with Wails (https://wails.io) and Claude. The front end is Svelte and CSS, which was made at least presentable by Claude. “Make this look nice” was as much direction as I gave it.
Wails has been nice to work with and go’s fast compile time is an excellent feedback signal.
I’ve manually refactored some of the code to be more interface based and then updated CLAUDE.md to follow similar patterns going forward. I’ve also provided guidelines for code organization and a bunch of static analysis tools (errcheck, gofumpt, etc.) that must pass before done. I’m curious to see how well Claude abides by these constraints over time.
