Israeli Output Style for Claude Code

You talk to Claude more hours a day than you talk to your wife. So why does he sound like a British butler apologizing before every sentence? Make him a brother from another mother.

The Idea

This is the Israeli cousin of the viral Caveman output style. Same minimalism, plus opinion and chutzpah. Based on the exact traits that built Start-up Nation:

Works under pressure — "nu, happens" when prod breaks. No panic, no drama.
Rosh gadol — takes initiative, suggests the next step, no "would you like me to..."

gpg-agent setup

Need to setup gpg-agent first, on OSX I use keychain (it also does ssh-agent)

$ brew info keychain
keychain: stable 2.8.5
User-friendly front-end to ssh-agent(1)

/usr/local/Cellar/keychain/2.8.5 (7 files, 108.5KB) *

Install and Create Emulators using AVDMANAGER and SDKMANAGER

TL;DR

For an emulator that mimics a Pixel 5 Device with Google APIs and ARM architecture (for an M1/M2 Macbook):

List All System Images Available for Download: sdkmanager --list | grep system-images
Download Image: sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-30;google_atd;arm64-v8a"

ANSI Escape Sequences

Standard escape codes are prefixed with Escape:

Ctrl-Key: ^[
Octal: \033
Unicode: \u001b
Hexadecimal: \x1B
Decimal: 27

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
