Web standards author and speaker; wrote the CSS: The Definitive Guide series and co-founded the An Event Apart conference.

Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic.
Claude Code showed that AI could do real work, not just answer questions. Developers hand Claude a feature, come back to shipped code. That's where much of the industry's serious engineering runs now. Cowork proved knowledge workers could do the same: hand Claude the brief, come back to finished files. Today, chat and Cowork start merging into one Claude. The direction: one Claude that carries context across everything you're working on, wherever you are. Simple enough for everyone to access Claude's full capabilities. I've been using this experience every day for the last few weeks, and it f… Quoting @claudeai Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks—you keep the final say. Rolling out to Pro and Max over the next few weeks. Anthropic Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
