I don't enjoy having to say this, but @River your emails and notifications constantly jamming offers at me is not something sovereign people tolerate much of. your service and app have been incredibly useful. I'd really not like to have to block all notifications from your app or emails from you. but that is the next step if the panhandling doesn't stop.

this is solid advice for how to think about context engineering generally, and configuring your CLAUDE.md specifically:

Writing a good CLAUDE.md

`CLAUDE.md` is a high-leverage configuration point for Claude Code. Learning how to write a good `CLAUDE.md` (or `AGENTS.md`) is a key skill for ag...

I Figured Out How to Engineer Emergence

a funny aspect of getting the coding agent to write meaningful tests around #nostr functionality is the understanding that secret key -> pubkey cannot be faked. I see so many "npub123-abc" in its tests. no matter how often I explicitly instruct it otherwise. I have a rule in CLAUDE.md which points out that we have a keys.md with a markdown table with 10 secret keys, pubkeys, and npubs for use in tests, and it always forgets and just makes things up.

twitter is the uber of microblogging

I keep coming back to making lists of lists, or more accurately, set of sets. is there a reason why it doesn't exist in the NIPS? just hasn't been a need so far, or was it discussed and discarded? I ask because I've looked and did not find anything. thinking of using 30100 for that kind. I like the idea of a hierarchical list of lists than can link in lists owned and maintained by others. if you hang follow sets from those lists, it becomes a nice way to subscribe to a feed, if there are clients that allow it.

this is a common issue I think, but specifically with claude code.. I'm so exhausted by having to explain when I'm asking a question about a proposed change I am never asserting something... always just asking. when i ask something like "why are you using Getenv() here?" I usualy get: "You're absolutely right! I was so wrong, I'll stop that and go this other way..." if I wanted to express that sentiment I'd do it directly. has anyone found a way to phrase a question economically that conveys that you actually just want an answer?
