Do you ever get bored waiting around for Claude Code to finish whatever it is it is doing in the background?
Claude Code has 'hooks' that fire on actions & can send messages out, which means you can plug in a live visualisation of what’s happening while it runs. 👀

For many, the big question is now IDE or CLI for AI coding?
¿Por qué no los dos? The right AI tool is now context-dependent.
Which do you reach for more right now? IDE-first or CLI-first, and what influences that decision?
