Getting good results from Claude Code
An updated version of my user-level CLAUDE.md is featured in this post from December 2, 2025. I've been experimenting with LLM programming agents over the past few months. Claude Code has become my favorite. It is not without issues, but it's allowed me to write ~12 programs/projects in

Lack of intent is what makes reading LLM-generated text exhausting
There’s something icky about LLM-generated text when you think it’s written by a human. I think I finally put my finger on one reason why I feel this way.
