The Controversy In early 2026, two independent research teams published the first empirical studies on whether CLAUDE.md-style instruction files actually improve AI coding performance. Their headlines seemed to tell different stories — one modest, one dramatic. Tech blogs promptly cherry-picked the modest one and ran with it. An article on XDA Developers declared that CLAUDE.md

On a very “intelligent” discussion on en.delphipraxis.net, an AI zealot tried to convince me that nowadays the AI CAN count how many r’s are in the word strawberry. You know… the old meme. What the AI-defenders don’t understand is that even if the AI can give you a correct answer to that question, it is
Mum…. Come over quickly… I think I broke the AI! Read More »
I made a Delphi skill document for Claude Code, but it should work with any other AI as well. # Global Programming Conventions These conventions apply to all my Delphi projects. Main target is Delphi 13. When possible keep compatibility with lower versions of Delphi, but not lower than Delphi Rio. ## Boilerplate Code Avoid
Prompt: Can I Claude Code build from command line via MSBuild and then analyze the output of the Delphi compiler/msbuild? The compiler is located in c:\Delphi\Delphi 13\bin\dcc32.EXE but I would prefer to pass the dproj file to MsBuild. I think MsBuild is installed here: c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe Answer: this requires the user to enable the WSL Interop

Using Claude Code for Delphi — What I Learned Writing a Book About It What started as a frustrated blog post became a 280-page book. Here’s the story. In early 2026, a post on Delphipraxis claimed that one hour of development with Claude Code was worth a full day of solo programming. Bold claim. I
“Free Code Agent: Build Faster Right in Your RAD Studio IDE” Presented by Yai (CTO at Solutions, Embarcadero MVP) Core Idea * AI Code Agents are tools that accelerate coding tasks by generating, refactoring, and scaffolding code inside your IDE. * They do not replace developers; they augment productivity. * Example used: Gemini CLI
I decided to open source my AI client. For the moment it only supports Gemini, but it can be easily extended to support multiple LLMs by extending TLLMObject. * Support for sending multiple files to AI * Support for multi-turn chat * GUI to set up the LLM parameters * Save settings to disk for
I’ve seen this trend where AI lacks (compared with other languages) when you try to use it for Delphi (VCL). Probably not their fault. Probably because of lack of code on GitHub…. 😞 Initially, I thought it was only an impression, but later tests (for example, generating a full program with Replit in Delphi and

My Experience with Cursor: The Promise and the Reality 2025.01 This week, I had the opportunity (or perhaps the misfortune?) to try out Cursor, a new tool that promises to enhance productivity for programmers. As someone who primarily works in Delphi, I was curious to see how it would stack up. Cursor is an AI-powered
