I’m looking for something that is aware of what is being discussed realtime, so if I zone out for a few minutes, I can ask it what I missed or to clarify something. Can this do that? If not, anybody know of something that can?
Zoom does it quite ok

Yeah that’s my problem here, I never see my desktop :)
tinodb commented on Getting good results from Claude Code dzombak.com/blog/2025/08/... · Posted by u/ingve
Does anyone else find themselves starting projects that wouldn't otherwise be worth the time investment, while avoiding Claude Code for the tasks that actually have high priority?
Who has had success using Claude Code on features in older, bigger, messier projects?
Yes and yes. I find that you can really let it rip (vibe) on something greenfield, but you’ll have to take a more measured approach once something gets off the ground.
I use it daily on our 10yo production repo with success.
Would be nice to have it listed as a brew formula, instead of pip.
uv tool beats brew for me. Certainly by a factor of 100 for install time :)

For sure. Another interesting trick I found to be surprisingly effective is to ask Claude Code to “Look around the codebase, and if something is confusing, or weird/counterintuitive — drop a AIDEV-QUESTION: … comment so I can document that bit of code and/or improve it”. We found some really gnarly things that had been forgotten in the codebase.
But why stick with the AIDEV- style? I mean, this is what comments are for: explaining the why that can’t be read from code. You could just make it a regular comment, right?
Interesting, but am I the only one the find “memory” a bit out of place here (and it is all over the article). It seems that is just needs a threshold value of vapour, right?

With the NATS fiasco, Synadia never achieved any of their stated goals, and ended up in a worse place than before. Why would they do this?
Synadia ended up relinquishing their trademarks (which they had already promised to transfer), they gave up taking the project away from CNCF, they gave up their plan to relicense under a BSL license, they alienated a lot of customers, and they got a lot of bad press.
The whole thing seemed to lack foresight and planning. The strategy — to blame CNCF for NATS not thriving as a community — was contradictory, since their "rescue plan" involved making it closed source. But I suspect the real reason for failure was that there wasn't really any hope to get the trademarks back; that would have required a legal battle they couldn't afford to pay for.
I'm a big fan of NATS as a technology, and I like Synadia as a company. They're doing something a little different than the DataBricks of the world. I completely understand their need to survive financially, and I understand if this pressure has increased after getting VC funding. (They raised $25m a year ago, so I'm guessing the screws started tightening.)
However, many other companies have been able to make billions without resorting to a BSL. Unlike Elasticsearch (which also created similar drama and changed their license, then went back to open source after a short while), nobody is threatening Synadia by offering a competitor to their cloud version of NATS.
I can only speculate, but I suspect Synadia's existential crisis is self-inflicted. If you look at their product offering, there's simply little reason for any company to pay for a support contract; they made NATS incredibly easy to self-host, and what you get (support and a nice dashboard UI) doesn't stand out as particularly valuable.
As someone who used a lot of open source, I'm a little conflicted by this. I want Synadia to succeed as a company. But I think it comes down to this: Either you fully invest in open source and manage to build your business around it, even if that means the business will be a little smaller and never turn into the next Microsoft. Or you don't make any pretenses, and you double down on BSLs and commercial licensing.
There isn't a middle ground where you pretend you possess the spirit of open source (which Synadia's communications kept professing) but must also turn to a license hostile to it.

Scaleway is! Was quite excited when I saw that recently.

Can’t wait for the same “exploit” being reported for a (Google) calendar MCP and someone sending a malicious invite…
