RockieYang··on Ask HN: How to know when Claude has changed model itself during processing?
have you checked session log? ~/.claude/projects/{session}.jsonl

it shall have some thing like this {"parentUuid":"...","message":{"model":"claude-opus-5"}}

RockieYang··on Ask HN: I built it and nobody came. What got you your first users?
Well said.

I truly believe that the product will be better if the author is the first targeted user.

I'd say AI coding tools raised the floor, not the ceiling. Building a product with great UX is still difficult and demands constant attention to detail.

RockieYang··on Ask HN: Does Claude Code remove the need for so many front-end frameworks?
I started using my own frontend framework from 2022. It is a simple jsx based, directly DOM modification, in just about 3k lines of code inspired from React/Solid/Vue.

Have try various approach since Claude Code came out. It works well in any of the styles vanilla, React, Vue for simple pages. So for simple one page demo, I mostly just ask to use vanilla style. Because it can be fully self contained in one file and just be opened without any external steps.

While once it across certain complexity level and some manual change needed. It is super hard with pure vanilla style, due to so many procedure code.

So I usually just prompt to generate using my own framework with a distilled skill. I then change a bit to make it simpler and follow my own style.

Niche idea. It could filter out a lot of noise
RockieYang··on How I code going into 2026: RIP 22 years of writing code by hand (mostly)
Great writing. I have similar feeling after using Copilot and Claude Code for the past couple of month. The way of programming is changing fast. How to tame it effectively still quite challenge. Quite some time, I feel my nosed dragged by LLM and get false productivity. Though it for sure generate a lot of dopamine.
RockieYang··on CSS sucks because we don't bother learning it (2022)

The first time saw it in my home town with my little boy, I thought it was a bee. Only realize that after staring it for a minute.
RockieYang··on A raw pptx file content reader
Thanks. The purpose is to have an universal object explorer for the cloud object store. So that no matter what type of file it is, just need one click (not two) to view it. So the full workflow continuity will be kept. Click Download then Open to me does not have a good UX, breaks the continuity of brain flow.

Thanks for highlighting. Some invisible thing is really bad. Things will be easy if put everything on the table
RockieYang··on GitOps Considered Harmful for MVP
Usually GitOps have flow like checkout => modify => commit => push => PR => merge => check result. Even if we remove the merge step, still have flow modify => commit => push => check result. In which the commit & push still could be removed
RockieYang··on GitOps Considered Harmful for MVP
Totally agree. I think gitops is super helpful for a full production system. While MVP, it is really poison. Thanks so much for sharing.
