Anthropic Thinking Reduction

Extended Thinking Is Load-Bearing for Senior Engineering Workflows

Produced by claude based on my extensive data - if there's any issues, it's because anthropic doesn't let claude think anymore ;) Unfortunately claude deleted my January logs containing a bulk of my work so only summary analysis is available - January was what I expect, Febuary started sliding, and March was a complete and utter loss.

Summary

Quantitative analysis of 17,871 thinking blocks and 234,760 tool calls across 6,852 Claude Code session files reveals that the rollout of thinking content redaction (redact-thinking-2026-02-12) correlates precisely with a measured quality regression in complex, long-session engineering workflows.

Interactive Builds: git-watch, cool-bazel, ibazel

Some little scripts I've found useful for development. git-watch retriggers a command when your git repo changes, so can give interactive rebuilds like ibazel except I found that https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-watcher didn't work for me at all. This is also completely agnostic to the command, so can be used with CMake as well, for instance.

Using websockets to easily build GUIs for Python programs

Using websockets to easily build GUIs for Python programs

I recently built a small agent-based model using Python and wanted to visualize the model in action. But as much as Python is an ideal tool for scientific computation (numpy, scipy, matplotlib), it's not as good for dynamic visualization (pygame?).

You know what's a very mature and flexible tool for drawing graphics? The DOM! For simple graphics you can use HTML and CSS; for more complicated stuff you can use Canvas, SVG, or WebGL. There are countless frameworks, libraries, and tutorials to help you draw exactly what you need. In my case, this was the animation I wanted:

high-priority

(Each row represents a "worker" in my model, and each rectangle represents a "task.")

This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

### UPDATE: For Win 11, I recommend using this tool in place of this script:
