There's a claude code section in the claude desktop app, but i've found that www.conductor.build is quite nice too.
Conductor - Run a team of coding agents on your Mac
Create parallel Codex + Claude Code agents in isolated workspaces. See at a glance what they're working on, then review and merge their changes.

I've been wondering this for a while, I could have sworn Star Citizen wrote something for their custom game engine, and when they presented it I was going "that's literally just CSS".

haha it's so true. Musk is so evil simply because he is fundamentally unlikeable. Money can't buy you everything.
How much of a loser do you have to be to have the amount of money Musk does and still get left on read by your fellow pedo billionaires

We're not, we're supposed to know it wasn't and be afraid that they could get to anyone else who spoke out.

The Regime is mass-creating audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and it's so, so sad and pathetic.

Claude Code enjoyers be like "It's only a little bit of war crimes".
Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

Please tell me this is about a detective called "Steve Hole" or something.
These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

Honestly I ain't interested in anything that "no jury trials" Lammy has to say.

I voted for Labour to keep the tories and reform out and they're pulling shit like this, and facial recognition, with no mandate.
David Lammy on Tory to Reform UK defections:

"Speaking of garbage, I note Reform's spring cleaning of the party opposite is continuing this week."

Uncle Bill always on the right side of history.

Goosebumps.

Great little article, made me more hopeful.

"AI code may make garbage, mass-produced software more ubiquitous, but it may also free up a space for engineers seeking to restore a genuine sense of craft and creative expression in their programming work"

I am, but just running a small instance for now until I get paid, then ordering a NAS and some big drives if i can.

Likely the UGREEN dual drive NAS and two 8TB drives if i can swing for them (storage ain't cheap these days!).

That way they're backed up.

The same with Priti Patel, "I got to enjoy these opportunities, but i'm rich now, so fuck you" is such demented Thatcherite nonsense that it makes me want to poke my eyes out.
I really understand very little about the current version of reality.
