  • It’s a weird way to phrase it. I actually have dual citizenship. I say “I’m X and Y” not “I’m X or Y”.

    By the way, you’re technically correct when saying "American or European " because you come from the Americas (the continent). But if you’re referring to the United States of America nationality, then you’d have to say the other country’s nationality as well.

    But back to the main point, let’s say that you’re about to become French. You’d say "I’m American and French. Or “French-Americam” or “American-French”. “I’m French or American” sounds weird.




  • Do you tell Claude to make a plan first?

    That helps me tremendously. Whenever something needs to be modified, I tell it to update the plan first, and to stick to the plan.

    That way, Claude doesn’t rewrite code that has already been implemented as part of the plan.

    And understanding the plan helps understanding the code.

    Sometimes if I know there will be a lot of code produced, I’ll tell it to add a quick comment on every piece it adds or modifies with a reference to the step in the plan it refers to. Makes code reviewing much more pleasant and easier to follow. And the bugs and hallucinations stick out more too.
