I've been loving Claude Code on the web(ben.page)

We no longer swoon over IDE features but now Llm correctness and novelty.

IDEs were good tools for humans to write code in, but are no longer needed.

They aren’t mutually exclusive. No reason you can’t use both and get the best of both worlds.

Also, future IDEs will have prompts and interfaces to better manage the LLM.

Likely not true, considering your chat interface is an IDE.

I was always disappointed by the Cursor version because the agents would make entirely new mistakes that Cursor IDE wouldn't make locally. Like so much that it was totally unusable. Completely messing up code edits to the point where a whole file would be deleted.

Interested to give this a go. But I would also need it to be able to run docker compose and playwright, to keep things on the rails.

Honestly, I'm just flabbergasted at how incredible these tools are. I was able to build https://www.standup.net in a few days. Also was able update an old project https://www.microphonetest.com in a matter of hours with a plethora of features. Its truly addicting.

Any good demos of what claude code can do?
embedding-shape 3 days ago|
In what area? I've been able to get it to do pretty much whatever I've tried it with so far, although probably Codex produces better code overall, even with the same prompts, and also have a web version. Although personally I prefer the CLIs.

Im still learning. All i know is claude.ai website chat. I thought claude code was a different thing. Not sure what codex is yet. Ive been using gemini assist in vscode for a week now, its kinda like just using it on the web but of course it edits your for you. Sometimes it ‘cant apply the changes though’

For Claude Code, you pay $20 for pro, then npm -g install @anthropic-ai/claude-code. Then invoke claude on your terminal.

It is a different thing, in a sense, because you can install command line tools that far surpass the Claude client’s tooling. Pandoc, curl, imagemagick, etc. Without these tools, CC will often write ad hoc scripts. The tools you have installed (provided you tell it) will always be better and more efficient.

What does this mean for products like Terragon and Sculptor?
AnicetN 3 days ago|
It means they better fill a niche. We ourselves built our own twist on cc web and we found differentiation that they couldn't. For instance running claude in real VPSs in which you can run docker & docker compose, connect to via SSH or even host stuff. We also made our own file sync so you start on web, continue on desktop in your IDE, run code locally, go back to web & mobile...

I think IDEs we're gonna see Vims, Emacs, Jetbrains, Vscode. For now CC web seems to be the sublime text of that world, and Terragon/Sculptor are yet to differentiate enough like a jetbrains

We try to be the jetbrains of this, which is not a smart move for a bigger co like Anthropic to take

I wish it didn't make public PRs to public repos. I sometimes fire off really speculative and sometimes silly requests and I really don't want a permanent record of these on an open source Github project. I could work on a fork but it's still fairly public.

Codex handles this much better. You choose when to make a PR and you can also just copy a .patch or git apply to your clipboard.

EDIT. They might have fixed this. Just testing. Does the mobile android app have Claude Code support yet or is it still annoyingly an iOS only thing?

EDIT2. It creates a public branch but not a PR. I'd still prefer that was a manual step.

How would it push stuff to a public GH repo without the pushed commits being public? This seems like a GitHub limitation, rather than a Claude one.

Don't push at all until I authorize it. That's what Codex does.

The web app? How do you look at the code it wrote? I've only used the cli.
