Scripting News: Wednesday, April 15, 2026

Today the work with Claude is much better, though when we got started it was even worse than yesterday. The key to getting on track was to figure out why it worked so well in previous projects and fell apart with this one. In each of the others, I passed off an existing project for it to convert or build on. This time we started with something it had created without a "starter." So I took all the random bits we had and organized into the opmlProjectEditor format we had specified back in early March. It's how all my projects since 2013 are organized, so it's a good fit for me, and also for Claude. So now I'm going to pass back a package that's ready to be worked on collaboratively. The other thing is I switched to the Opus 4.6 model from Sonnet 4.6. So I've made it to 11AM and feel like I've already accomplished something today. The problem was yesterday we were spinning our wheels, and that doesn't work for me. I'm a very directed developer. ;-)#
