macOS with Homebrew installed

Terminals should generate the 256-color palette from the user's base16 theme.

If you've spent much time in the terminal, you've probably set a custom base16 theme. They work well. You define a handful of colors in one place and all your programs use them.

The drawback is that 16 colors is limiting. Complex and color-heavy programs struggle with such a small palette.

Wolfram Ravenwolf on X: "I'm now using Qwen3-Coder in Claude Code. Works with any model actually, but this is surely the best one currently. There are a bunch of proxies on GitHub that make this possible, but none worked well enough for me, so I implemented this myself using LiteLLM. Guide in comments: https://t.co/Wqbv75nxlp" / X
HOWTO: Use Qwen3-Coder (or any other LLM) with Claude Code (via LiteLLM) : r/LocalLLaMA

Here's a simple way for Claude Code users to switch from the costly Claude models to the newly released SOTA open-source/weights coding model, Qwen3-Coder, via OpenRouter using LiteLLM on your local machine.

This process is quite universal and can be easily adapted to suit your needs. Feel free to explore other models (including local ones) as well as different providers and coding agents.

I'm sharing what works for me. This gu

How to set up a basic Sinatra + React webapp in 2025

Let's say you want to use Ruby for the backend of a basic webapp but React on the frontend. Here's how.

(Note: All tested on January 13, 2025 with Ruby 3.3, Sinatra 4.1.1, and React 18.3. Configs may change over time.)

First, create the app folder and set up Sinatra:

mkdir my-sinatra-react-app

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	set -euo pipefail

	# patch-claude-code.sh — Rebalance Claude Code prompts to fix corner-cutting behavior
	#
	# What this does:
	# Patches the npm-installed @anthropic-ai/claude-code cli.js to rebalance
	# system prompt instructions that cause the model to cut corners, simplify
	# excessively, and defer complicated work.
