alt Hacker NewsAre you some kind of entitled corporate dev that barely has any influence on the codebase? If I fuck up a whole business goes down as I am the only dev there currently. We cant afford that happening. Also why would I mess with anything claude.md related? I just use the CLI tool. LLM enthusiasts always claim how smart these things are so they should figure it out on their own, you know?
I have full control of my codebase. I'm not afraid to make changes to it because I know what I'm doing.
You would edit Claude.md to say things like what tech the project is using, because that's the entire point of claude.md. It's literally the solution to the exact problem you're complaining about. Any information you want it to know, you put in there and then it knows it. And you can tell Claude to make or update the file for you.
I'm not one of the people telling you how smart LLMs are. I'm telling you how to use it efficiently, by not expecting it to know everything but rather provide the information that it needs in order to be a more useful tool.
