I think using claude code is becoming quite addictive for me and I need to be careful about how much I use and what times and need to create a process around it. Maybe time bounding my sessions, having clear ideas of what I want to achieve in each session and trying to stay focused. I need to learn how I can stop the normal warnings that come up and ask for permission to do pretty basic things (cd and use git OR run things on the command line that have newlines and #). I’ve got my phone hooked up so now I can control it remotely but now I’m a little worried that while I’m trying to do something else I’ll keep getting distracted. I guess nothing in this world is free.
The other experience I want to write about tonight, is a nice one with an old neighbour who came over for a chat today. It was actually a really nice experience. It’s nice to have a sense of community even though I haven’t lived in my family home for a long time. It’s funny contrasting it with an experience I had later in the day where I purposely avoided playing certain pool shots in a pub because I didn’t want to talk to an old football coach that I had from childhood. In hindsight I probably should have just said hello and asked him to move but I just wanted to avoid the old catch up on 20 years of life conversation. Does that make me a bad person? Should I have been more willing to make small talk. Who knows, maybe god!
Talk soon bye!
