This kind of release shows Anthropic as a company is suffering from the same thing we all are right now. Removing the friction from having an idea and executing it stops you from remembering The Point. Yes, programming from your phone is an exciting modality and maybe even the future of how we work, but coding from your bedroom, AND the toilet, AND the woods AND your office is definitely (hopefully) not the future.

I wonder if is anyone working on an AI framework that encourages us to keep our eye on the big picture, then walk away when a reasonable amount of work is done for the day.

Yes, individuals are creating cool mobile coding solutions and Anthropic doesn't want to get left behind. I know I'm working my ass off at work right now because LLM coding makes it fun, but I also often don't prioritize what I'm doing for the big picture because I just try every thing that comes into my inbox, in order, because it's so fast to do with Claude Code.

We all sense it!: <https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/ai-promised-to-free-up-wo...> <https://ghuntley.com/teleport/> <https://steve-yegge.medium.com/the-ai-vampire-eda6e4f07163>

There are two types of software engineers: Those who do and then think, or those who think and then do. Claude Code seems to strictly be for the former, while typically the engineers who can maintain software long-term are the latter.

Not sure if we have any LLM-tooling for the latter, seems to be more about how you use the tools we have available, but they're all pulling us to be "do first, think later" so unless you're careful, they'll just assume you want to do more and think less, hence all the vibeslop floating around.

One could just as easily argue hunching over your desk staring at your computer has neurological implications.

My favorite way to vibe code is by voice while in the hot tub. Rest AND focus AND build.

Wait why should I prefer being stuck in the office over taking a walk and periodically steering Claude code by phone?

On the other hand, you lose a lot of time if you step away from a session and it gets stuck asking for permission to do something simple.
