PocketArCStop optimizing your AI skills and ship -something-.
There's a blog post making the rounds called "Anatomy of the .claude/ folder", and the Hacker News discussion is full of people sharing their elaborate .claude/ configurations, debating structures, and arguing about which MCP servers to wire up.
A lot of engineers seem to be falling prey to this, and it reminds me of the 2010s productivity culture, where people would spend more time configuring OmniFocus and their GTD workflows than actually doing the work. Swapping task managers every few months, telling themselves that what they need is to have the system just right and it'll unlock all their productivity.
We're doing it again, except now it's AI agent shenanigans, people collecting skills like they're Pokémon.
It's all such a waste of time.
