Resume-Project updates
I wrote this post nearly 3 months ago, and it feels like I got 3 years older since then. Strange that I never published it.
Now with a much more profound understanding of AI and much, much better models, the changes I made here would have been done in minutes. I guess. š
Sudoji ā Emoji-Sudoku for Kids
Last weekend (when I prepared that post), I created a game for my oldest with Claude Code. After breakfast we discussed games he could play on his tablet. I thought that Sudoku would be a nice game for him, but maybe with images or shapes.
Claude Code usage stats for one week
I use Claude Code a lot; that was what I thought. But seeing the /usage from last week, there is plenty of room to use it even more. :D
Recently, I saw Clawd.bot, which is a personal AI assistant and looks promising. Let's see what use cases I can find here.

Open Claude Code inside a split pane in Wezterm
I wrote about how I use Claude Code in Wezterm in this Post.
First time using Claude Code in yolo mode
I was never confident enough to go into yolo mode in Claude Code after I had such a bad experience with Cursorā¦or I failed quite hard with the prompts. š¤·
Last weekend, I wanted to try it out for a task where I didn't want to sit next to Claude, watch it, and prevent it from failing. So Iāve made a new attempt. āWeā planned the task together; I tried to be as precise as I could be with the prompt and got a first draft as a result. Then we iterated and refined the plan until I was confident with it.
On the weekend, we had planned some family time. It was the best opportunity to let Claude go wild with the planned task. Later in the evening when I was back with the family, I was a little excited about how it worked out. I took a first look, and Claude had completed the task. The result was working, and the tests were green. So this looked promising. I peeked at some files, and it looked good.
After I did a full review on the next day, I was quite happy with the result. There were some small adjustments where Claude was not following the rules exactly, but this is ok. Like checking a PR from another colleague.
Maybe I should try this more. One idea would be that after a finished workday, I go into yolo mode with Claude and review the results on the next day. But before I can do this with confidence, I need to refine my Claude settings. The settings are there, but I never touched them, really. There is potential here. :)

A simple AHA moment to give me something to work with
Today I had an interesting AHA moment. I never thought about my meeting participation when I'm a part of a team. But I automatically participate more in smaller teams and less in bigger ones.
Why is that so?
A simple explanation could be that in bigger teams, there are often people who are quite dominant, talk a lot, and usually know more than me. Maybe this influences me subconsciously. Iām not a dominant or submissive person. So I typically withdraw then and let the others be dominant. And say something if I have to or need to.
Perhaps it also has something to do with me not really being a speaker. I typically can talk a lot in a space where Iām confident. Most in small groups or 1-to-1. One example is presentations in school. I hated them. Preparing them was easy. But actually standing up in front of more than 5 people made me nervous. And I hated that feeling. Not the good part of feeling nervous.
What can I do with this new insight? I don't know. š¤· I have to think about it, and I'm happy that I now have something I can work with. For the future, it would be best to get rid of this limiting behaviour.

Migrating to react-twc
Kicked off the migration to react-twc in one of my projects.
For simple components, it works well. But if they are not just styled, for example, if they need to render a different element, it gets verbose. <MyComponent as=āsectionā /> now needs the asChild prop and then the section element as a child. Itās not that bad, but I think itās ugly.
<MyComponent asChild>
<section>{children}</section>
</MyComponent>
As someone who also uses many Radix components, Iām familiar with it. So it is ok, but it still looks ugly.
For variants of the same element, I migrated to react-twc with cva. Which gives a clean look and makes clear what needs to be used.
And for the rest, for example, labels and inputs, I kept them as is, for now. The label and inputs are wrapped with a div. Also, I need to pass down the Radix Form elements with the as prop.
Thoughts
For some components, I have to refactor the code. At the current state, I don't know whether it's worth using react-twc or not. For simple components, I think it is awesome. Furthermore, for components with plenty of variants, by using CVA. But for a complex one, I have to think about it and work out something that fits.

A new way to handle tasks or tickets personally at work
Iāve found a way I can personally handle tasks and tickets at work.
The problem is that most of the time, no matter how much Iām into a task, I forget plenty of things. I donāt know why. So I came up with a simple structure and Obsidian.md as a tool. On how I can express my thoughts on such topics and also save them for later.
Claude and Cursor
When writing with cursor, it is like talking with your silly self and thinking the outcome is really good.
Writing with CC is like writing with an elaborate sane person, who really knows more than you. (Most of the time.)
When writing a prompt to either of them, I have this mindset above for each in my head, and this is how my prompts look. Maybe this is the reason why my outcome on cursor is not as good as in cc?
Nevertheless is gain something from both of them, so the current state is ok for me.
