I gave Claude Code our entire codebase. Our customers noticed. | Al Chen (Galileo)
Watch now | Al Chen (Field Engineer at Galileo) shows how he uses AI to query his entire codebase and deliver precise, real-time answers to enterprise customers without relying on docs or engineering
Al Chen is a field engineer at Galileo, an observability platform for AI applications, where he works on the front lines with enterprise customers asking highly technical questions. Despite never having held an engineering role, Al has built a system using Claude Code to query Galileo’s 15 separate repositories, combine that with Confluence documentation and customer-specific quirks, and deliver hyper-personalized answers that would otherwise require constant engineering support.
- How to use Claude Code to query multiple repositories simultaneously for customer support
- Why code is often a better source of truth than documentation
- How to combine repository context with Confluence and Slack using MCPs
- The “customer quirks” system that creates hyper-personalized deployment guides
- How to build virtuous loops that turn single customer questions into scalable knowledge
- Why information organization matters less in the AI era
- A simple 16-line script (written by Claude Code) that pulls the latest main branch across all your repositories to keep your context current
- How to reduce engineering interruptions to near-zero by empowering customer-facing teams to query the codebase directly

qwen3.5 vs gemma4 vs cloud llms in python turtle
I have found python turtle to be a pretty good test for a model. All of these models have received the same prompt: "write a python turtle program that draws a cat" you can actually see similarity in gemma's and gemini pro's outputs, they share the color pallete and minimalist approach in terms of details.

Failure Mechanisms and Risk Estimation for Legged Robot Locomotion on Granular Slopes
arXiv:2603.06928v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Locomotion on granular slopes such as sand dunes remains a fundamental challenge for legged robots due to reduced shear strength and gravity-induced anisotropic yielding of granular media. Using a hexapedal robot on a tiltable granular bed, we systematically measure locomotion speed together with slope-dependent normal and shear granular resistive forces. While normal penetration resistance remains nearly unchanged with inclination, shear resistance decreases substantially as slope angle increases. Guided by these measurements, we develop a simple robot-terrain interaction model that predicts anchoring timing, step length, and resulting robot speed, as functions of terrain strength and slope angle. The model reveals that slope-induced per
