Claude doesn't iterate over UI design. It doesn't have eyes or have a human mind. It can't evaluate a design. It works best when you can present the whole design before it writes a any code. That does happen, for example when porting a product across OSes.

I wonder if anyone else is writing about Claude from a similar point of view. I've been writing commercial software since the early 80s. I slogged through this stuff at a comparative snail's pace until early this year, when I got blasted into outer space. Now I had to learn how to make use of this incredible new physics. Puts me in something of a unique spot. I also have a very large library of under-marketed software, ready to grind through Claude, which I very much want to do. If you know of anyone writing about this kind of stuff, let me know.

Still, it is noteworthy that Microsoft reported nearly as much of a gain on Anthropic in one quarter as it did for the year on OpenAI. In fact, it is so noteworthy that Microsoft disclosed it.

Poe's favorite new spot is under my desk and on top of my standing mat, which I think is funny because that mat has been there for over a year and he's just discovered it.

We still had ice. You couldn't swallow it: it would make you so sick you would lose more water than you gained. We should have kept it for injuries, or to keep our scraps of food fresh. But it was melting so fast, and it was so pleasant
