Claude Code Utility and Training
People are discussing Claude Code's utility for debugging, fixing Mac issues, and the potential for training replacement models by intercepting API traces.
Claude Code makes for an excellent fixer for Mac. I've used it to diagnose mysterious reboots, configure utility apps without learning their config syntax, fix an obscure node installation issue. Sleeper use-case.
Claude Code kept guessing wrong on my flaky shell bug, so I built a trace system that captures keystrokes, goroutine IDs, and millisecond deltas in JSONL format. Fed it one trace → Claude nailed the root cause instantly: orphaned goroutines competing for stdin. One
are you an AI lab that recently lost access to claude code? to train a replacement, you need to intercept the traces CC sends back and forth to the API. I have such a proxy in my possession written in rust, call me
