Extended Thinking Is Load-Bearing for Senior Engineering Workflows

Produced by claude based on my extensive data - if there's any issues, it's because anthropic doesn't let claude think anymore ;) Unfortunately claude deleted my January logs containing a bulk of my work so only summary analysis is available - January was what I expect, Febuary started sliding, and March was a complete and utter loss.

Summary

Quantitative analysis of 17,871 thinking blocks and 234,760 tool calls across 6,852 Claude Code session files reveals that the rollout of thinking content redaction (redact-thinking-2026-02-12) correlates precisely with a measured quality regression in complex, long-session engineering workflows.

Run Qwen 3.5 Locally with Claude Code — Zero API Bills, Full Agentic Coding

Your Mac has a GPU. Your Mac has RAM. Why are you paying someone else to think?

This guide gets you a fully local agentic coding setup: Claude Code talking to Qwen 3.5-35B-A3B via llama.cpp, all running on your Apple Silicon Mac. No API keys. No cloud. No surprise invoices. Just you, your M-series chip, and 35 billion parameters doing your bidding on localhost.

PortMaster: Using sparse checkout

Sparse checkout is a useful Git feature that lets you only download and work with specific parts of a repository. The PortMaster-New repository is massive — over 50GB in size. Since you're most likely not going to be modifying multiple ports, there's no need to download the entire thing. Use sparse checkout to only grab what you need.

Getting started: Git

Since you’ll be working in the terminal, you'll need Git installed. Download and install it, either using sudo apt install git or downloading Git for Windows depending on your platform. If you use GitHub Desktop, you may already have Git installed. You can check if it’s installed by running git --version in your terminal.

Sparse checkout

If you haven't done so, fork the repository at https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New. You can do this in a web browser. In your computer's terminal, clone it: `git clone --filter=blob:none --depth 1 --no-checkout https://github.com/USERNAME/PortMaster-New PortMaster-New

Add a userscripts browser extension like Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey.
Install each of these scripts as a user script.

If you want to improve performance, you could merge these into a single function and observer, but the performance has been fine for me and this gives you flexibility on what aspects you want to hide.

Rocknix Wine Bottles

Using wine is a deep rabbit hole for anyone not familiar with the software, and an even deeper rabbit hole when combined with box86 or box64. This guide attempts to serve as a basic introduction to using the built-in wine and box packages included with Rocknix on a Retroid Pocket 5. While the Retroid Pocket Mini is a similar setup chain, it is weaker hardware than the Retroid Pocket 5 and thus the examples provided here may not function as well.

If you are familiar with this process, you may be interested in a slightly more advanced distribution guide.

Terminology - Wine and Box86/64

The first thing anyone should understand is the vernacular used throughout this guide. Two tools are used to make wine ports possible on ARM64:

Box86 and Box64 by ptitSeb are Linux x86 and x86_64 emulators targeting AARCH64/ARM64 architecture.

PortMaster: Understanding Game Maker Ports - A Primer

A large chunk of PortMaster ports are games using the GameMaker Engine. This engine (referred to as GMS) is an excellent beginner engine for getting into porting, but can also quickly become pretty advanced. This primer hopes to accurately summarize a few key points for how GMS ports are created and work.

Tools Used

PortMaster Engineers heavily rely on a few major tools that make GMS ports successful.

GameMaker Studio is the engine in which these games are created. If a GMS game is open source, we can use GMS to build it ourselves and make it "ready to run". Example: [Pocket Crystal League](https://github.com/JeodC/PocketCrystalLeague-Por

How to Setup Syncthings with PC and muOS

Terminology

Name	Description
Syncthings	Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet.

General Idea

The guide would setup syncthings with a PC and RG35XX Plus running muOS, if your host system is different the concept would be the same however you might need to tweak a few things. I would be syncing my muOS save folder to my PC as a backup method.
