One thing that's odd about this package is the amount of internal, anthropic-specific tooling that's in it. Aside from the sort of comical gating behind the USER_TYPE='ant' env var, normally in a well designed package you would expect that it would provide proper hooks so that internal tooling could just be a set of plugins rather than in the source itself.

Claude code does have a number of extension points: agents, hooks, plugins, skills, and tools - even if their structure is somewhat, ah, gestural.

Some things could potentially become features (like the MagicDocs thing, even if that's a comically expensive idea, i'll write more about that later tho), but there are also some things that make no sense to be in here. Like in the startBackgroundHousekeeping task there is an 'ant'-gated task to clean their .npm-cache directory.

There are even notes in here like "this used to block the whole event loop" which you think might have indicated that they might have, say, "just written some separate cron task that runs totally outside claude code." So it seems like "writing claude code with claude code" leads to a collapse of separation of concerns, where anthropic can't really manage the distinction between their projects to the point of inlining the devtools - this can also be seen in comments re: code duplication with Cowork, which i'll also get to later. It also confirms what they say publicly, that they just have claude code sessions running 24/7 (where having a task run every 24 hours makes sense)

Is your shitposting quantum ready?

#github

did you know? the google forms share icon has a stray pixel in its corner

why? because the icon spritesheet has a massive black triangle overlapping the icons

what is that triangle? it's a giant out-of-bounds hat!

Lessons learned from the Artemis 2 mission:

1. some genius thought sending Outlook to space was a good idea,
2. some other genius thought that Bluetooth in space was a good idea,
3. plumbers are in demand, even in space.
