This website seems to have been generated by Codex - I asked Codex to create an HTML overview of a feature for my team and it made an overly produced monstrosity - complete with the same large stat boxes that were for the most part devoid of meaningful information - using the same font, colors, layout, hero section, etc. It was also terrible on mobile just like this is.

In the end I had Claude produce a one-page html file that was 95% of the way there and it took minor editing to clearly explain the intent of the feature.


A lot of LLM-driven design now looks like this. I don’t understand how people don’t find ugly the pairings with an heavily italicised serif. You also can’t read much of the page on mobile, because the code example keeps shifting the content around.

Now, that is overly critical, I’m sure their heart is in the right place. But a simpler website would do :)


Yeah such amazing tech used to produce a tediously unreadable website with great flair.

Go full circle, and use the amazing tech to make a summary of the amazing tech's website written by the amazing tech to praise the amazing tech.

It’s sad to see companies not spending a bit more on design. Sure, ai will help you get something decent out fast. But there’s a threshold where design becomes an indicator of trust. Especially for b2b software that tailor to large corps. Good design, character, adds directly to the bottom line.

> It’s sad to see companies…

The article is about an open source agent harness, Reasonix, that is built to leverage the DeepSeek native api.

There’s no company here. No design budget. These people are graciously sharing a project they made in their free time.


You're right, but I find as a solo engineer it's still important to check the frontends I create on mobile

I agree. I didn’t mean to be too critical. But if they’d made something simpler, I think it would save them tokens and end up more likely to convince their target audience of developers.

(The series of ‘motherfucking websites’ comes to mind, they were all very readable and simple, even if satire.)


Claude Opus 4.7 defaults to exactly this design language for a lot of "just make me a rich html presentation page" requests without further specification.

That doesn't say much about any model though. For starters, any software engineer can tell you that leaving out features can drastically simplify any project.


strange, I got the same design with claude design, same fonts, same title designs with the strange character etc...

There is a fintech startup that surrounds me at my co-working place. They literally stop working and shoot the shit with each other if Claude has a hiccup.

Yesterday one asked another "how much of this deck did Claude do"? and the response was "50%". "What 50% did you do?" => "I chose the font and colors".


I loved Zed for a few years - but their insistence on not letting Claude Code use Zed as an external editor forced me to build my own IDE.

This turned out to be pretty awesome because I built something completely customized to my workflow and it has increased my productivity by several factors.


If my math is right they can acquire about 1800 (lowish end) enterprise AI-capable GPUs for $50M so exactly what are they going to do with that? Seems pretty small.


For me, iterating with Claude begins to degrade at 200k context used, by 350k it’s crossed-fingers time, by 500k it’s essentially useless. Starting a fresh context after 300k is usually the best move imho. I wonder if people are hitting a case where Claude becomes both dumb and increasingly more expensive, essentially a doom loop.


Roughly agreed. I'm a bit baffled when it seems like someone is having long conversations with multiple tasks and loads of add-ons. I generally have one or two iterations and then a new session.

I'm using another tool, not claude code, but I don't think that matters much.


I have 0 problem with this. Everybody who was using a Pro subscription with OpenClaw should of expected to be living on borrowed time. The more Anthropic can do to keep the Pro subscriptions at their current price point, the better. It is the best deal in tech imho.


I am a happy user of this and have recommended my team also install it. It’s made a sizable reduction in my token use.


Thanks, really appreciate hearing that! Glad it's working well for your team.


HN Mod here. Is the date on the post an error? It says Feb 2025 but the project seems new. I initially went to put a date reference on the HN title but then realised it's more likely a mistake on your post.


His post, code and all the replies here are LLM authored and don't make any sense. He has no idea why his Claude Code instance wrote Feb 2025 instead of Feb 2026. I mean all his results are placebos or nonsense. I can also start new conversations with only 2% of the context in it, or you can call compact, it will all work better. The post has to be flagged.


There was a time when his insight was relevant and spoke to a lot of people. I hope he finds peace in whatever is next.


The tips in the article on enabling vi mode and fzf keybind are worth the read imho


Their multiple rounds of VC funding are predicated on their vision of collaboration so they gotta make a go at it.
