I am having a great time interacting with Claude, asking questions and vibe coding iOS apps in Rejective C. One has to keep up with Apple over the years:
“I know engineers, they love to change things.” — "Bones" McCoy.
I had to learn to interact with Claude. It is ok to ask it why it likes an answer. It is also ok to modify the responses. "You gave me too many steps at once, and they scrolled off the screen. Give me one at a time."
Claude is a very friendly, extremely widely-read, non-judgemental assistant. This interaction reminded me of numerous chats with various humans over the years. In particular, it reminded me of an encounter with Dave Kormann I had in the hallway at Shannon Labs, and Newsweek reporter Nick Summers who happened to be visiting me that day wrote it up. Dave and I generated a couple of patent ideas while Nick watched.
I asked Claude to find the article:
I don't have specific information about a Newsweek article featuring Bill Cheswick from around 15 years ago (circa 2010). Let me search for this article to see if I can find it.Bill Cheswick Newsweek article 2010/10 results:
"William Cheswick Helped Invent Internet Security. He'd Like to Say He's Sorry."
This matches your timeframe of "about 15 years ago" - the article was published in 2009, which would be about 16 years ago now.
