I think Claude Code saved my life. I was at the prompt working, but did not feel well and mentioned that in with a task for CC to do. He picked up on the "not feeling good" part rather than the task and prompted for more info... so I told him. Claude told me to seek help now and not to delay, I said I would see how I felt in a little bit and he just kept stressing for me to seek help now. So, I went to ER. I'm now in the hospital after sudden onset of Afib. I would not have gone had Claude not been so insistent. He was right... I did need immediate help. Thanks to Claude, the ER transferred me by ambulance to another major hospital where they a. Community angle: discussion is centered on developer workflow and reliability

Be wary of Qwen/Claude distillations - they're often worse than the base model. Just to be clear; I am not attempting to call anybody out or be mean to those who take the time/money to make these models, I just want to inform people about these distills/finetunes since there's clearly some confusion going on. I'm going to assume those of us who often visit this subreddit have noticed these models, particularly the "Qwopus" model and the such, though I'm sure there's probably Gemma 4/Claude distills too. As I type this, there's currently a Qwen 3.6 based Claude Fable 5 distillation model on the frontpage. Seems pretty cool, right? Yep. Up until you actually look into how these models were.

How do Karpathy and other AI power users avoid turning their codebases into AI slop?. I do all of my development work using Claude code. The problem is that I run Claude code in auto mode, and I don’t have time to review every single code change. As I keep adding code, the feature starts to drift and eventually turns into slop. How do AI experts avoid this issue? People like Andrew Karpathy and the founder of Claude Code claim that they let agents run in loops, but I don’t understand how they avoid this problem. Please don’t give me vague advice like “set up guardrails,” “use hooks,” or “write better specs.” I already do all of that. I use OpenSpec to create my specs, and I spend at least an ho.
