Improve & Repeat

This NDC Oslo took place later in the year than usual.

While everyone talks about AI coding agents and vibe coding, getting results that go beyond slop is not that easy.

While working through the Manning liveProject "From Prompts to an Agentic System " earlier this year, I got a great reminder that LLMs are text generators.

Sometimes we end up with code spread over several Git repositories that belong together.

A skill is a suggestion.

Last week we installed skills that other people wrote.

Claude Code knows a lot about programming in general, but very little about the tools and conventions we use every day.

Last week we configured Findle so that we can have a local search and fetch solution that is based on Docker.

One thing I noticed with GSD Pi was that it took ages to find the right methods to build the applications I had in my Image Locator exercise.

Last week we noticed an annoying behaviour in Claude Code that could have cost us a lot if we did not catch it in time.

In last week’s post we connected two NVIDIA DGX Sparks.

The NVIDIA DGX Spark comes in many variations, like the Dell Pro Max with GB10 or the HP ZGX Nano AI Station.

When we run LM Studio on a NVIDIA GB 10, we cannot use the graphical user interface.

It is already two months since I covered GSD and Superpowers that give a more structured development approach to Claude Code.

In the first part we saw how easy it is to connect Claude Code to a local LLM and in the second part we measured the performance we can get with various local models.

In the first part last week we saw what we need to run Claude Code with a local LLM.

Running Claude Code against a self-hosted LLM is much simpler than I expected.

Creating the first CLAUDE.md file is not much work as we saw in last week's post.

As we saw in the insights report from last week, there are usually a few suggestions on how to improve our CLAUDE.md file.

Claude Code gave us in April a new feature that allows us to see how we use Claude Code.

If you return to Claude Code after a few weeks of vacation, you may be way behind on all the new things that you now can do with Claude Code.

When we use tools like GSD, Claude Code does a ton of work for us.
