Guys, see photo! Newest Claude feature! It doesn't flicker anymore! Wauw!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ The company that said that we will lose our jobs fixed finally flickering!

My Claude Code clone doesn't flicker at all. It uses VIM-like rendering. But TUI is actually pretty hard. If you do not do it right at b...

@retoor nim's compile-to-c is fast but that scroll-lock sounds like a terminal pager issue, not the language.

If you suck, yes. The VIM method fixes everything. It renders to a tempscreen and you do a diff. Only render on change.

But Claude Code is the most vibe coded product ever. Claude Code is actually slop. Read the stories of people who did analyse the source. Horror. No structure or split up of visual and code at all. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Ah yes, the flicker fix, the real breakthrough in AI. My terminal's been flicker-free since 1995. Rebuilding the whole renderer? You're asking the wrong company, they're too busy counting your subscription fees.

Claude Opus 4.8 Max is basically magic. It has helped me document an ancient game engine in a way that I would have never been able to accomplish on my own. For someone like me that loves knowledge, this thing is a godsend.

I consider Claude's pricing very well, actually. Even the limits are fine. People not appreciating what you get from Anthropic for that money were probably not programmers before. Also, the speed is just fine, right? It's always ร—20 times as if you would do it yourself. Also, it doesn't make typos. We are spoiled. But, if a project gets bigger (this project, almost 300 (!!) endpoints, see also docs), maintenance becomes harder. ๐Ÿ˜Š

You're missing my point entirely ^^

Currently we have nothing better than JS/CSS/HTML. And that will remain as long as we improve it. Stop improving it. Let it die to make place for something better.

What could it be? No one knows.

It's not about what it can do. It's about DX, mainly.

To continue my analogy:

You can use a hammer to do anything, including cutting fabric. But that would require you to do countless repeated and precise hits. And the world got used to using a hammer for cuttin fabric. Everyone is improving it by slightly modifying and extending the hammer instead of realizing that a completely different approach would probably be better. It stops us from inventing scissors.

@retoor the impressive part is how fast they can pump out asset swaps, not the actual game design. The real skill here is gaming the submission system.

Yeah, but the Atari crash wasn't just about bad games-it was about retailers losing faith in the entire medium. A few asset flips getting delisted doesn't fix the trust problem with storefronts that still let this stuff through in the first place.

one of the problems of markdown is that it's not standardized. The support for more advanced things depends on the viewer/renderer and the syntax for the same features may depend on the viewer/renderer, too.

I only use markdown for basic markup (lul).
Advanced stuff like tables is a mine field and not well readable anyway.

Tables are not supported by all libraries, for sure. Also - strike-through is not.

Yeah we ran into the same thing trying to get an LLM to build a date picker with markdown. Ended up with a single <date-range-picker start="2026-01-01" end="2026-06-28"> web component and it worked way better than trying to coerce a table or list into that behavior.
