Syntax Trees

This evening, I worked on Syntax Trees. I also updated CLAUDE.md files for each individual model folder.

Color Picker

Spent literally hours trying to create mask adjustments in Photoshop.

Claude Max

I’ve streamlined my approach, realizing that I don’t need an editor like Windsurf or Cursor. Much of what agentic coding does is so complex that I can’t follow it — and the beauty is, I don’t need to. A command-line interface suits me perfectly. I recently purchased the new Max Plan, as it now integrates with Claude Code. API calls to Anthropic were becoming prohibitively expensive, so hopefully this monthly subscription will meet my needs.

Spiralling Costs

Coding with agents is becoming expensive, and it’s surprisingly easy to accumulate high costs. To reduce token usage, I’m working on creating smaller, more specific prompts. Careful planning and a clear structure are also essential.

Prompts

I created my own prompt generator, trained with OpenAI, after growing frustrated with Claude Code and Cursor misinterpreting my prompts.
