Built a program to give my parents a 2nd look on suspicious emails/etc

My parents tech literacy is bad. They will have me check clear as day scam emails and the likes out way too damn often. To save my sanity, I finally used Claude Code to create a solution, hopefully.... Heck, even if it helps a bit, I will be happy. Not a 100% for sure thing, which I will stress to them when I show both how to use it. Used some APIs from virustotal and gemini for some of the features. Included some other resources for the different checks that search whatever entered along with taking you to said sites page of it searched. Any recommendations to improve this so it acts as a...

My experience using Claude code with Local Llm, and full guide on how to set it up

Wanted to share a workflow I tested on a real flight, in case anyone else is trying to set up offline Claude Code. The core idea: using ollama to pull the needed model of what you need, and then use it to run claude code The setup, in order: 1. Pull a model on home wifi the night before. \`ollama pull <model>\` — \~9 GB for a 14B, \~17 GB for a 26B. Don't try this at the gate. 2. In Claude Code, point at Ollama. The cleanest path I found is wrapping it in two aliases: alias claude-local='ollama launch claude --model gemma4:26b' alias claude-cloud='claude' 3. Verify on the ground with...

pydantic-monty investigation

Research: pydantic-monty investigation It's been a few months since I last poked at Monty , the sandboxed subset of Python implemented in Rust. I had Claude Code look at the most recent release. Importantly the max_duration_secs , max_memory , max_allocations , and max_recursion_depth settings all appear to work as advertised. Tags: python , sandboxing , pydantic

Anthropic officially launched 13+ FREE AI courses with certificates (Including Agentic AI and Claude Code!)

Just found out about this and had to share because almost nobody is talking about it yet. If you are tired of paying for AI courses or getting hit with paywalls just to get a certificate, Anthropic (the creators of Claude) quietly dropped a massive library of completely free, official training modules. Yes, they actually give you an official certificate of completion directly from Anthropic once you finish. Here is the breakdown of what is available and exactly how to get it without spending a dime. What is in the course catalog? They have split the training into a few different paths de...

Add a Specialized Deep Research Skill to Agent Harnesses

Agent harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, and LangChain Deep Agents are excellent orchestrators. They manage sessions, chain tools, execute code, and respond to... Agent harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, and LangChain Deep Agents are excellent orchestrators. They manage sessions, chain tools, execute code, and respond to developer intent. But when these harnesses need to do deep research, such as multi-document synthesis, decision briefs backed by enterprise data, and long-horizon analysis with source attribution, the complexity of deep research shifts back… Source

Coffee, Claude, and Remotion is all you need to make launch videos.

https://reddit.com/link/1tik0qe/video/9bh6ypr3ca2h1/player A few hours, [Claude Code](https://www.claude.com/product/claude-code) \+ [Remotion](https://www.remotion.dev/), 4 black coffees, no design tools, no After Effects, no editor. **The whole trick:** Remotion is React for video. You write JSX, you get an mp4. Every animation is `interpolate(frame, [start, end], [from, to])`. That means **Claude Code can write the entire video for you** — it already knows React, animation is just numbers, and you can iterate the same way you iterate on a landing page. Change a value, re-render, see w...

100 Tips & Tricks for Building Your Own Personal AI Agent /LONG POST/

*Everything I learned the hard way — 6 weeks, no sleep :), two environments, one agent that actually works.* # The Story I spent six weeks building a personal AI agent from scratch — not a chatbot wrapper, but a persistent assistant that manages tasks, tracks deals, reads emails, analyzes business data, and proactively surfaces things I'd otherwise miss. It started in the cloud (Claude Projects — shared memory files, rich context windows, custom skills). Then I migrated to Claude Code inside VS Code, which unlocked local file access, git tracking, shell hooks, and scheduled headless tasks....

Qwen 35b a3b surprises me

Just wanted to share that I'm pretty happy about Qwen 35b a3b agentic coding performance. I'm running the model in q80 quant, kv cache both q8\_0 as well, with 262144 in 4090 + 5060 ti, via llama.cpp backend with claude code pointing to localhost. For demo/data analytics purposes, it works pretty well. I haven't used it for large codebases, but it definitely is better than gemma4 26b in my use case. One thing that surprises me is that it seems to get better outcome in agentic coding, than chat. When using it with just chat UI, i found the code qwen35b provide a bit too clunky. I wonder o...

Backend dev for 11 years. Honest question about my Claude Code days

Been writing backend for 11 years. last 8 months I've moved most of my work into claude code. I want to ask something and I'm not sure how to phrase it. when I spend a full day in claude code and ship 3 or 4 PRs, do I actually feel like I worked? or do I feel like I supervised? its not the same thing as a "did I solve hard problems today" question. its something weirder. I shipped real code. tests pass. PRs got merged. by every external metric the day was productive. but I cant point to a single moment where I thought hard about anything. I was just reading claude's diffs and going "yep...
