I've been 3D printing accessories for the Volkswagen ID. Buzz since July. I started by modeling and printing a couple of things that I wanted, then added a couple of items that other owners have talked about on various subreddits and Facebook groups. I'm now moving about $750 worth of items a month. http://buzzprintco.etsy.com

You're probably being downvoted today for your "I was smarter than you" tone.

Race Drivin' maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fsCDXk-pk (sound level is high) ... or maybe the earlier game Hard Drivin'
That is 100% it! Time to fire up an emulator.

I felt like the coolest kid in the neighborhood with Sega Channel. It was so cool to have a dozen or so new games every month. There was a stunt car driving game that was on there at one point. I have no idea what it was called, I couldn't really explain it anymore than that, but whew was it a great time when it was there!

I found an interesting bug:
https://webpiano.jcurcioconsulting.com/play/fvT2WvzCT1SybhNp...
If I'm playing a quick pattern like this and holding down some bass note, depending on where the pattern starts, the middle two notes will become "synchronized" and play/get recorded at the same time. In my example, the top 4 notes work fine, but shifting down by one note causes the bug. I also switched between holding the bass not and not for demonstration. I assure you my fingers aren't doing anything different, I messed around with this for a while.
edit: got a better recording: https://webpiano.jcurcioconsulting.com/play/b4qautCGQpQjA6wq...
2nd edit: I thought this had to do with the "groupings" of keys but even the middle 4 that are grouped together show this behavior: https://webpiano.jcurcioconsulting.com/play/5XuIskeJNQQaiC7h...
Aw man, I didn't plan on digging into the database to look at note timings, but this is interesting enough to maybe take a look at.

> This alone gave me 90% of the finished product
The Claude the industry needs is one that responds to that prompt with questions about scope and intent, and challenges its only-suitable-for-tutorials design ideas rather than obediently delivering a "90% finished product".
10 years ago, this basically marks the difference between hiring some dude on Fiverr for $400 and an actual engineer or agency who might help you figure out what the heck you're trying to do and point you in some sane direction towards it.
I appreciate this article for sharing what kind of experience people can expect from Claude right now, but it mostly demonstrates that code assistants remain most useful in the hands of experts who are careful what to ask for, and largely misleading and slop-amplifying for people who don't.
It'd be an interesting follow up to have one of my kids give me prompts to make the same application and see how well it does. As in, when it doesn't save and they say "it's not working." How would it react and try to problem solve.

Neat, I'm in a similar state of believing the tech is currently in a state that's actually useful while also understanding why the skeptics find it infuriating instead.
( p.s. Tell claude that when quickly pressing keys with a mouse that there is audible clipping. This doesn't seem to happen when using the keyboard. )
I definitely don't think I'd be willing to hand it my day job's codebase and walk away. But I feel a lot more comfortable throwing it very specific tasks and questions, then manually vetting the results. Over time I may be a little more willing to give it bigger chunks or give a more cursory code review on what it generates.
If I come back to it to look to add polish (and fix mobile) that'll be a prompt I'll throw at it as well.

Are there public examples of "good instruction" and an iteration process? I have tried and have not been very successful at getting Claude Code to generate correct code for medium sized projects or features.
I had Claude write a piano webapp (https://webpiano.jcurcioconsulting.com) as a "let's see how this thing works" project. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of it.
I actually just put together a write up showing my prompts and explaining what was generated after each, if you're interested at all https://jcurcioconsulting.com/posts/how-i-used-claude-code-t...
Thanks for the detailed debug output! This confirms what we suspected, the message is being accepted by Twilio but it might be filtered by T-Mobile before reaching your handset.
Can you try sending "Error Detected" one more time just to confirm it's consistently filtered (not a one-time glitch)?
If it fails again, then:
1. The immediate problem: "Error Detected" is likely triggering T-Mobile's spam filter. Try a more specific message like "[YourApp] Error in payment processor at 3:42 PM", generic error messages get filtered heavily. Let me know if that gets through.
2. Our misleading status: You're right - showing "delivered: true" when it just means "accepted by carrier" is confusing. We're working on:
- Clearer status terminology ("accepted" vs "delivered")
- Webhook integration to track actual handset delivery
- Guidance on avoiding carrier filtering
Sending "Error Detected" has failed multiple times, including in a re-test now.
Tried changing to "Hey Jeremy1026: Error in payment processor at 3:42 PM", same status with no delivery to my phone number, ID: jz44a46jjpx7vjpzsa9c0soc.
I used to work with Twilio pretty heavily at a SaaS, I left as they started to crack down on SMS. One of my last projects was developing an in-app front-end to submit the regulatory paperwork to get higher delivery rates for SMS. I know it was a huge pain, sounds like it still is.
