How have you uploaded your code base to claude?
Then you used something like this GitHub - mufeedvh/code2prompt: A CLI tool to convert your codebase into a single LLM prompt with source tree, prompt templating, and token counting. to get everything in 1 file?
Or are there fancier things out there, like a way to literally sync your codebase so you also don't need to upload new stuff after writing more code?
I didn't bother to look for tools that do that, but I will take a look at the CLI.
Claude wrote this. Feel free to ask him to adapt.

Marcus Hutchins has an interesting opinion on AI...

To be honest I have no clue how itâs going to end. Augmenting, replacing, destroyingâŚone of those I guess

The term Marcus used 'prompt engineer' made me laugh! And the way he stated not even the worst employee could be replaced with A.I also cracked me up! Don't get me wrong we use A.I but we don't trust/rely upon it to do anything we ask of it, and by the time you do double check anything it spurts out (any of them, Claude, ChatGPT etc) you may as well have sat an exam on the subject you are asking it to interpret and wrote the source yourself (simple things yeah alright but the complex 90% of the time it throws out utter garbage). Still does give some hints I suppose... Which saves searching Stack hahaha, which can be just as painful!
The fact he is having difficulty in keeping a straight face is also rather amusing too...

I guess the IT specialty is also important. Itâs not the same to replace a junior that will just code simple stuff all day long than a NOC engineer, a devops or a security analyst. You wouldnât trust your infrastructure or security to a LLM. At least not in their current state. ButâŚare we just an iteration away ofâŚwho knows? Things have got quite unpredictable.

This is very true. But for now I believe what Marcus is saying is the current 'professional' consensus. Personally I quite like his attitude and sense of humour. Plus the fact he keeps things short and to the point. No doubt in his ability as an Engineer. Very clever young man.
