Sonnet made small, careful changes, while Opus kept adding features until the site hit 21,000 lines and started breaking itself. Neither model searched the web once, even though it could, and in this video I walk through every milestone and what it means for how you prompt AI.

AI Maker Residence 4

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
