Are people again learning a new set of tools? Just tell the AI what you want, if the AI tool doesn't allow that then tell another Ai tool to make you a translation layer that will convert the natural language to the commands etc. What's the point of learning yet another tool?

I think somewhere between 2016 and 2026 the market realized that programmers _love_ writing tools for themselves and others, and it went full bore into catering to the Bike Shedding economy, and now AI is accelerating this to an absurd degree.

Me too, I love writing tools for myself and end up yak shaving all the time but why there's a tutorial for a machine that understand human language? Just type down your inner monologue and it will do it.

I cannot decipher what you mean, have you mixed up the tabs, and wanted to post this somewhere else?

The linked site is a pretty good interactive Claude tutorial for beginners.

mrtksn•22m ago

Nope, why would anybody type commands to a machine that does natural language processing? Just tell the thing what you want.

faeyanpiraat•15m ago

Yes, but you gotta learn what is possible.

I wouldn't have the thought to say to the machine to compact its context if I didn't know it has context and it can be compacted, right?

Good point, but IMHO the learning material for this should be the basics of LLM.

I don't understand the purpose of a tutorial for a natural language ai system.

Claude Code is a tool that uses natural language ai systems. It itself is not a natural language ai system.

Strongly agree with the sentiment, but I'd say if you're familiar with the terminal you may as well just install it and truly 'learn by doing'!

I could see this being great for true beginners, but for them it might be nice to have even some more basics to start (how do I open the terminal, what is a command, etc).

Side note: I don’t know what Anthropic changed but now Claude Code consumes the quota incredibly fast. I have the Max5 plan, and it just consumed about 10% of the session quota in 10 minutes on a single prompt. For $100/month, I have higher expectations.

Looks like they are falling victim to their own slop. This smells a lot like the Amazon outages caused by mandated clanker usage.

I've been jumping from Claude -> Gemini -> GPT Codex. Both Claude and Gemini really reduced quotas and so I cancelled. Only subbed GPT for the special 2x quota in March and now my allocation is done as well.

I decided to give opencode go a try today. It's $5 for the first month. Didn't get much success with Kimi K2, overly chatty, built too complex solutions - burned 40% of my allocation and nothing worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

But Minimax m2.7. Wow, it feels just like Claude Opus 4.6. Really has serious chops in Rust.

Tomorrow/Wednesday will try a month of their $40 plan and see how it goes.

find your level -> answer D to everything -> you're a beginner! And I thought I have high standards...

nickphx•5m ago

Why wpuld anyone want to "learn" how to use some non-deterministic black box of bullshit that is frequently wrong? When you get different output fkr the same input, how do you learn? How is that beneficial? Why would you waste your time learning something that is frequently changing at the whims of some greedy third party? No thanks.

I use claude code every day, I've written plugins and skills, use MCP servers, subagent workflows, and filled out the "Find your level" quiz as such.

According to the quiz, I am a beginner!
