Hacker News with Generative AI: Productivity Tools

Cheatsheet for jj's builtin diff editor (pauladamsmith.com)
I grepped the scm-record repo for command names I was familiar with, and, finding the ui.rs source that maps key strokes and mouse clicks to commands, I extracted them into a cheatsheet-style layout suitable for quick reference while learning and using jj's built-in diff editor.

How I Use Claude (borretti.me)
Claude is Anthropic’s AI, like ChatGPT but more capable. I was a casual user until the 23 October release (informally “Claude 3.6”), when it crossed a quality threshold I didn’t even know was there. It is really, really good. I have been using it a lot more since, and I got curious as to how much more.
