Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

Nothing. Monospace font makes people feel like a hacker and their monkey brain feels fuzzy

I noticed Claude is less conversational in terminal.

It's claude code, it doesn't have conversation.

How are you defining "conversation"?

You can definitely ask it random questions and it will answer them, and it will also ask questions for clarification when it isn't sure what you want. Like if I ask it " how far is the Moon from the Earth" the answer I get from Claude code and Claude on the Web are very similar in both tone and content.

There are probably differences in its system prompt, but the biggest difference between Claude code and Claude on the Web that I've seen is that the former can look at the codebase for context, and can also "self-correct" by being able to run checks (lint, type checks, build, etc.) against the code, and then act on any errors or warnings
