Auto Memory and Auto Dream: how Claude Code learns and consolidates its memory

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you’ve been using Claude Code with Auto Memory enabled for a while, you’ve probably noticed that after several sessions, Claude’s notes about your project start accumulating contradictions. Entries saying “yesterday we decided to use Redis” without specifying which day “yesterday” was. Debugging notes referencing files that no longer exist. Three different entries about the same build quirk. What started as a useful notebook becomes noise.

Anthropic has just released Auto Dream, a feature that does exactly what its name suggests: it consolidates Claude Code’s memory the way the human brain consolidates memories during REM sleep.

Claude Code with LSP: from searching text to understanding code

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I have been using Claude Code daily for months, and there is one configuration that has completely changed how it works with my code. It is not a new plugin, a more powerful model, or a magic prompt. It is something that has existed since 2016 and that most developers use without knowing it every time they open VS Code: the Language Server Protocol (LSP).

Karan Bansal published an excellent article explaining in detail how to enable LSP in Claude Code and why it matters. After trying it, I can confirm the difference is real and significant.

MCPHero: El puente entre MCP y las librerías tradicionales de IA

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Últimamente estoy siguiendo de cerca todo lo que rodea al protocolo MCP (Model Context Protocol), y hace poco me encontré con un proyecto que tiene bastante sentido: MCPHero.

La realidad es que aunque MCP está pegando fuerte, muchas librerías de IA “tradicionales” como openai o google-genai siguen sin soporte nativo para MCP. Solo soportan tool/function calls. MCPHero viene a solucionar precisamente esto: hacer de puente entre servidores MCP y estas librerías.

MCPHero: The Bridge Between MCP and Traditional AI Libraries

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Lately I’ve been closely following everything around the MCP protocol (Model Context Protocol), and recently I found a project that makes a lot of sense: MCPHero.

The reality is that although MCP is taking off, many “traditional” AI libraries like openai or google-genai still don’t have native MCP support. They only support tool/function calls. MCPHero comes to solve exactly this: make a bridge between MCP servers and these libraries.

What is MCPHero?

MCPHero is a Python library that lets you use MCP servers as tools/functions in native AI libraries. Basically, it lets you connect to any MCP server and use its tools as if they were native OpenAI or Google Gemini tools.

Advanced Claude Code: Tips, tricks, and custom commands to maximize your productivity

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

After my previous article about agent-centric programming, I’ve been researching more advanced techniques for using Claude Code really productively. As a programmer with 30 years of experience, I’ve seen many promising tools that ultimately didn’t deliver on their promises. But Claude Code, when used correctly, is becoming a real game-changer.

Beyond the basics: The difference between playing and working seriously

One thing is using Claude Code for experiments or personal projects, and another very different thing is integrating it into a professional workflow. For serious projects, you need a different approach:

The New Promiscuity of Modern Developers: When Being Unfaithful to Tools Is Normal

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Throughout my career, I’ve seen many things change. I’ve gone from Borland to Visual Studio, from vi to Sublime Text, from Sublime to VS Code… And believe me, each change was a deliberate decision that cost me weeks of adaptation. But what’s happening now with AI tools is something completely different.

I’ve found myself using Copilot in the morning, trying Cursor in the afternoon, and checking out Claude Code before going to bed. And I’m not alone. Developers have gone from being faithful as dogs to our tools to being… well, promiscuous.

Reaper: When Deleting Code Is as Important as Writing It

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In my experience with mobile development, I’ve seen how apps become increasingly complex and projects grow uncontrollably. I remember perfectly that feeling of having thousands of lines of code and not being sure what was really being used and what wasn’t.

That’s why I was so struck by the tool that Sentry (formerly from Emerge Tools) just released as open source: Reaper. An SDK that does something that sounds simple but is tremendously useful: find dead code in your mobile applications.

JSONPath: The XPath We Needed for JSON

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve seen how certain standards and tools become indispensable when working with data. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned over these years, it’s that JSON is everywhere: APIs, logs, configurations, NoSQL databases… The question is no longer whether you’ll work with JSON, but when you’ll face that 15-level nested structure that makes you sigh.

The Problem We’ve All Lived Through

How many times have you had to write something like this?

The 'AI-Native Software Engineer': Between the Hype and Practical Reality

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

A necessary reflection on the “AI-Native Engineer”

I read Addyo’s article about the “AI-Native Software Engineer” and, as a Principal Backend Engineer who has seen technological promises come and go for years, I have quite sincere opinions about it. Not all are comfortable to hear.

I’ve seen enough “revolutions” to separate the wheat from the chaff. And there’s a lot of both here.

What’s really working (honestly)

1. AI as copilot, not as pilot

The article’s metaphor about treating AI as a “junior programmer available 24/7” is accurate. In my experience working with teams, I’ve seen developers use GitHub Copilot and Claude effectively to:
