  1. 🤖 Oh joy, Anthropic's #Claude #CLI is back, because clearly the world couldn't function without an OpenClaw-style command line interface. 🔨🎉 Let's all pretend this is the innovation we've been desperately waiting for, instead of yet another tangled mess of buzzwords and acronyms. 🌀🤦‍♂️

    AI Is Moving Beyond Chatbots. Claude Cowork Shows What Comes Next

    The DNA file had been gathering dust in Pietro Schirano’s computer for years. Then, earlier this month, he gave it to Claude Code—an “agentic coding tool” developed by Anthropic—for analysis. “I’m attaching my raw DNA file from Ancestry DNA,” he told the tool.

    The AI spawned copies of itself on Schirano’s computer, each one simulating an expert in a different part of the genome—one expert on cardiovascular disease, another on aging, a third on autoimmune disease. “There were a lot of things that resonated with my life,” says Schirano, who was an engineer at Anthropic prior to founding MagicPath, an AI product design startup. “I always thought that I could deal with caffeine better than all of my friends. It was always this inside joke: I can just drink seven espressos because I’m Italian.” Claude Code’s analysis revealed that Schirano does, in fact, have a gene that allows him to metabolize caffeine better than the average person, that he’s predisposed to Alzheimer’s, and suggested supplements to take based on his genetic profile.

    Claude Code, released in February 2025, was Anthropic’s first successful attempt at building an AI agent—a system that takes actions on the user’s behalf, rather than merely conversing in a chat interface. Claude Code can access files and programs on a user’s computer, and even run “sub-agents” for specific tasks, such as those that analyzed different parts of Schirano’s genome. It has steadily accrued a devoted following of tinkerers using it to file their taxes, design knitting patterns, and even autonomously grow a tomato plant.

    Yet most people have never heard of Claude Code. That’s because the primary way of accessing the tool is through a command line interface—the old-school computer terminal that went out of fashion among the general public some time in the last millennium. That obscurity might be about to change. On Monday, Anthropic announced Claude Cowork, which the company calls “Claude Code for the rest of your work.” 

    “It’s gonna blow a lot of people’s minds who are not coders,” says Martin DeVido, the developer behind the experiment using Claude Code to grow a tomato plant.

    Claude Cowork aims to bring Claude Code’s agentic capabilities to a broader audience by supplying it with a friendlier user interface and hiding some of the complexity that has made Claude Code daunting to the uninitiated. The tool, initially available as a research preview for customers paying $100 a month for the Max plan, has “rough edges,” according to Felix Reiseberg, its lead engineer. One user found that the app gave her “scary error messages” and wouldn’t connect to her calendar.

  3. Ah, yes, because clearly everyone needs their very own Command Line Interface Übermensch to navigate the mind-boggling complexity of... writing basic scripts. 🙄 Why buy a tool when you can spend eons building a half-baked one with more acronyms than usefulness? 🛠️💡

  4. 🚀 Google's latest attempt at innovation: a 'reverse acquihire' of Windsurf to revolutionize AI tools with a command line interface. Because who needs user-friendly GUIs when you can type endless commands into a terminal? 🖥️🤦‍♂️ #TechGenius

  5. It's kinda bizzare that you might use a tool for years, with some remarkable distraction on each occasion, instead of configuring it properly.

    Today I switched from the sequence of "ssh <host>; tmux attach" to a configuration that does it form me:

    ```
    Host ...
    ...
    RequestTTY yes
    RemoteCommand tmux new-session -A ...
    ```

  6. One thing I always do when I type `rm` in the terminal.

    1. Check what is my current working directory
    2. Check what file or directory I'm trying to delete
    3. Check if I'm conscious.
    4. Check if this is not some fabricated dream.
    6. Check if the voices in my head are shut.
    7. Check if the keyboard is not moving by itself.
    8. Check rule 5 again.

  7. Today I learned how to create a Finder alias using AppleScript and the command line:

    ```bash
    $ osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to posix file "/opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@29/Emacs.app" at posix file "/Applications" with properties {name:"Emacs.app"}'

    alias file Emacs.app of folder Applications of startup disk
    ```

    This is for the particular case of creating an Emacs.app named alias at the Applications folder for the Homebrew version of the `emacs-plus` package, but changing the paths above will allow you to create arbitrary Finder aliases from the command line.

  8. Just published Kitten’s¹ new database² commands:

    - kitten db [table name] to see info the database/a specific table
    - kitten db delete [table name] to delete the database/a specific table
    - kitten db tail <table name> to follow a specific table

  9. This post was also a test of the "toot" command line interface tool for Mastodon:

    github.com/ihabunek/toot
    [edited because originally I had the GitHub for a different project with the same name]

    I installed it on my Mac using Homebrew, but I think it's installable on various Linux distros.

    It's very full featured, supporting images and alt text, e.g. Very cool!

  10. Das GitLab-Team hat die Version 15.7 vorgestellt, die nicht nur eine CLI bietet, sondern auch das bisher nur im Beta vorhandene DAST generell verfügbar macht.

  11. And the command-line-interface alternative to my #NowStreaming utility is working fairly well now too.
