How do you use it in relation to claude?


Not the person you're replying to, and I have no idea what they were referring to, but I use agent-shell.el and it is incredible:

https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell

xenodium is doing some amazing work (and not just on agent-shell, either!)


Agent-shell.el for the CLI experience that's integrated with emacs. You can send things from emacs to your Claude code prompt and it will include the file and line numbers.

There's also claude-code-ide.el that gives you more of a cursor like experience with autocomplete, simple chat, etc.


claude-code-ide runs the claude TUI inside a term inside emacs with a little bit of editor integration on top. It's closer to the standard CLI experience than agent-shell is.


Agent-shell.el and claude-code-ide.el

Agent-shell is like the Claude code CLI. Claude-code-ide is like cursor with ghost completions/auto complete, chat, etc.


I’ve felt burnt out- it’s pretty exhausting reviewing and testing code all day


Idk what car you have but mine can drive right away, just like Zed.


Side note: to a rounding error, all modern cars can be safely driven right away. Wait a few seconds for the sound of the engine to change, indicating that oil is now happily pumping through all the grindy bits, and then you're ready to go. I'm not saying you want to drag race your neighbor 10 seconds after starting the engine for the first time that day, but once you don't hear the tappets being tappety, it's OK to pull out of your driveway and start moving at a sane pace.


> indicating that oil is now happily pumping through all the grindy bits

That's not a modern car. Modern cars do not pump oil through all the grindy bits. Modern cars need to wait for the BMC to stabilize its power.


Not who you are replying to, but the new Lexus RX350h takes and absurdly long time to be ready to drive away, if you want to use the rear camera to help back out of the parking lot.


Wait, don't you reverse into a parking space and drive straight out?


Slow car computers aside, it doesn't really make a difference in the scheme of things. Spend the time backing up now or later. Also, maybe you need to use your trunk and you'd rather have it opening into free space instead of another vehicle or a wall.


I contend it does. People tend to take way more time backing into a space than pulling into it, and hardly more time backing out of a space than pulling forward out of it.

I'm certain this isn't how they think of it, but when I see someone blocking traffic while they painfully back into a spot, I imagine them imagining themselves having to fly out of there without a moment to spare, like they plan on having a drastic emergency before they leave. And if that person isn't driving a police or fire department car or the like, I roll my eyes at the delusion of grandeur.


Surely a big part of the reason is steering leverage relative to the kerb.

You are able to one-shot reverse parallel park into a much narrower gap without hitting the bumpers of the cars around you or getting onto the pavement.


In my cars, generally, yes. The Lexus in question is my MIL's car, and she prefers it parked at home nose-in. We were also running some errands that required access to the rear (groceries, returning a printer/fax machine).


I always wonder why people do this. What’s the reasoning?


I asked a former truck driver once and his answer was that it's easier to see what's in front of you than behind you. I wondered why people in our neighborhood backed into their driveways at first, then I realized this was indeed true. If I turn into the street and back into my driveway, somebody probably hasn't jumped behind my car. If I get in my car and back out of my driveway, somebody walking/biking along may not notice my car backing out of the driveway, and my old potato backup camera isn't always the best at illuminating people behind my car at night in bad weather.


When you have a tight spot, getting into it in reverse is the only way to do it safely — your front wheels can turn but your rear wheels can’t.

However I always park with the front to the exit, since I might find myself in a situation where I have to drive away very quickly.

It might be anything from a dumpster truck about to block the street to some kind of family emergency.

I have the 20 seconds now but I can't be sure I will have them in the morning.


I wonder this too. It’s much harder to back into a cramped parking space than backing out into an open space. So they do it very slowly. Watching people do this is frustrating.


They would rather back into a parking spot surrounded by stationary obstacles than back into a parking lot or road which may contain pedestrians or other drivers.

I'm not saying _I_ back into spaces. I generally drive into spots and reverse out of them. However, I admit that what I do is a tradeoff where I take on risk in order to have a mechanically easier time entering and exiting the space.


This makes no sense. In either case the car traverses the same space once forwards and once backwards.


That's true, but what GP is saying is that when you're pulling out, you are traversing the part of the space overwhelmingly more likely to contain passing pedestrians and vehicles with full visibility.

And then some parking spots require parallel parking which is best done via backing up anyway.


I don't think you understood what my comment says. The whole point is that it covers your "but".


> It’s much harder to back into a cramped parking space than backing out into an open space.

With cramped parking spaces, your real options are (a) backing into it or (b) driving forward into it. When you need to have a 90 degree turn, option (a) gives you more control over the eventual position of your car, and is frequently the only option.


Can you elaborate more on why it takes a long time to be ready to drive away in reverse? How long are you talking?


I didn't time it but I'd put it at 30 seconds. It sits there for a while with the infotainment screen black, then it does this animated splash screen, then it loads the infotainment/cameras.


Depending on the planet region, and season, you might actually have to wait before driving.

Frozen Winters, heavy snow, diesel pumps,....


Two things to consider: - When reading generated code, which programming language would be the most readable to you? - Which programming language guides AI to write correct code using language features or guardrails?

There you will find your answer.


additionally (but related), what programming language is the easiest most efficent for you to reason about and feed back to AI in English (or your native language)


OMG


It’s funny, when I was younger, it was all about MSN messenger, MySpace (esp the music player on there), and forums. That’s the old web I remember from before. No personal blogs, really. (Again I’m not old enough to remember before that)


You should read the whole article… (or even better, watch the UtahJs talk )


I’m on board


If you've never seen anyone work with syntax highlighting off, there are some YouTube videos that inspired me to try coding with syntax highlighting off:

1. "Hacking with Andrew and Brad" - Andrew Gerrand (previously on the Go core team) uses Vim without syntax highlighting.[0]

2. "Advanced Embed With Go Generate - Andy Walker" -- this guy uses bold/italics/few colors in his editor. Interesting visual on how you can use font to show different aspects of the code.[1][2]

3. "Visual Studio Code, No Syntax Coloring, Go Fonts" [3]

4. "stb programming FAQ" - Sean Barrett answers why he uses VC6 and why his syntax highlighting is so minimal.[4]

Why do you hate autoindent? Have you seen issues with autoindent while developing? Vim `set autoindent` works well when configured with how you do tabs for a given language (ie `set sw=2 sts=2` for JavaScript)


Habit! My original point, once you're habituated, it's much more natural to type an indent than to delete an automatically generated one because you want to go back one indent level, say for a closing curly brace. This just interferes with the "flow".


I can see your point. Thanks.
