Overall, I was surprised to find more third party SDKs that I expected and they tended more towards the product analytics.

Some interesting integrations closer to monetization were also unique.

nico•8mo ago
Very interesting analysis. It’s cool being able to see what these products are using for analytics and monetization services

Thank you for putting this together

ddxv•8mo ago
Thanks, I enjoy it too!

I listened to a podcast (hard fork) with the Chief Product Officer of Anthropic talking about how he only hires people who can manage several Claude agents to program at a time.

It felt so odd because in the post it all seems so regular. The same integrations with the same analytics companies as usual.

Even the doubling and tripling up of analytics because various teams need them for various things. And I'm certain at the end of the day they also have a home grown backend BI which is the source of truth.

The narrative swings wildly in my head between this is a huge change and this is business as usual.

polishdude20•8mo ago
What does it mean to manage several Claude agents to program at a time?
lgas•8mo ago
Presumably it means starting multiple copies of Claude Code or whatever other agent powered IDE and having them work on different things at the same time, so while you're waiting for one you can be replying to another, etc. so that multiple workstreams are proceeding in parallel.
tyre•8mo ago
You can use git workspaces to have multiple features in progress at once, with agents merrily code generating away
polishdude20•8mo ago
On that note, does anyone have a good way for Claude or any other AI to understand large database schemas? If I've got an app that's based largely on loads of database functions, what's the best way to give Claude context?
sureglymop•8mo ago
I think the correct subcommand is worktree and they're called worktrees. Essentially, git worktrees let you check out multiple branches simultaneously.
ddxv•8mo ago
He was talking about Claude CLI which is some marrying of Claude and a cli to launch an agent with a task in a directory (but Ive never used it, just them marketng it).
A4ET8a8uTh0_v2•8mo ago
<< he only hires people who can manage several Claude agents to program at a time.

You would not happen to have the name of that podcast? It sounds mildly crazy at first glance and deeper examination. It is a useful signal to me to avoid ever thinking of working there, but I would hate for this attitude to be considered the norm. Apart from everything else, if you are trying to do multiple things at once, something will slip by..

jdmoreira•8mo ago
He wrote it.. hard fork
ddxv•8mo ago
Hard Fork, most recent episode at 36:00. What I said was somewhat incorrect as it merged two topics. More specifically he said the best workers at Anthropic farm out work to multiple Claude's and that he is hesitant to hire junior developers.

Anyways, give it a listen if you're interested to hear what he said.

kristianp•8mo ago
Is it possible to do similar analysis of IOS apps?

Do these services track your location too?

You can see one reason why apps can be so bloated: multiple analytics platforms, animations, etc.

eddyg•8mo ago
I usually use Proxygen⁽¹⁾.

It’s crazy how chatty mobile apps are. Especially the “free” ones...

⁽¹⁾ https://freshbits.fi/apps/proxygen/

ddxv•8mo ago
Yes, I did used to do them as well. https://appgoblin.info has around 5k of iOS apps I checked but as of April this year I'm no longer able to get IPA files as Apple changed stuff.
