Simon Willison分享了新工作流：让Claude Code帮你编译开源项目，十分钟后看结果。改代码的门槛突然没了。
Simon Willison在Hacker News评论中表示，LLM改变了开源软件自由修改的可行性。他每天多次让Claude执行从GitHub克隆仓库并解释代码的指令。过去编译开源项目常因摩擦而放弃，现在他直接交给Codex或Claude Code处理，十分钟后查看构建结果。他认为一年前还不存在这样的路径。
Devtools must be open source (exe.dev)
My comment on Devtools must be open source (exe.dev) — Hacker News. One of the arguments for open source software for end-users has always been the freedom to examine and modify how that software works. The reality for most people - even expert programmers - has been that the freedom is more about being able to lean on other people to do that. Most people can't justify the time commitment needed to read and then modify the code for tools they use very often. I think LLMs have changed that equation in a way that makes the original dream much more feasible. Several times a day I'll prompt regular Claude chat to "Clone x/y from GitHub and tell me how Z works". Getting software to compile in order to start hacking on it used to be enough friction that I often wouldn't bother. Now I treat that as a zero time investment challenge: tell Codex or Claude Code to checkout and build X and then come back ten minutes later and see how it got on. I'm not habitually modifying the software I use yet, but I can see a path to that which didn't exist a year or so ago.
