It amazes me whenever someone says they have very long sessions with it, I basically give it very specific tasks and that’s it. Anything that requires multiple interactions quickly devolves to garbage.
Hmmm. I’ve already got that guy in my head, and now I have to supervise another one? That might work, actually.

Have you tried Jean-Claude Van Code?
It always comes back with “matte!”
as a non-coding newb I learned fairly quickly to make it create,regularly update, and review architecture and changelog md files so it doesn’t burn half my tokens re-learning what it did last week
That’s how I have to treat myself so I have plenty of practice.
Well I'm never typing John G. into Claude.
Worried the agent just ends up writing down "Don't believe his lies".
