The developer casually mentioned that Claude Code prefers a certain format.

Title

Developers discuss Claude Code’s formatting preferences on Twitter.

Summary

iOS developer Peter Steinberger (@steipete) replied to @hriosnl’s tweet saying, “yeah but claude code likes em.” He may be referring to how Claude Code handles emojis or other formatting, but the original tweet is no longer accessible. Steinberger has written several blog posts about development using Claude and maintains a GitHub repository called claude-code-mcp. This comment is part of the everyday conversation among developers discussing which AI coding assistants are the most useful.

Analysis

Since @hriosnl’s original tweet is no longer visible, the specific meaning of “likes em” can only be guessed. From Steinberger’s previous posts—covering Claude updates, comparisons with OpenAI Codex, and his claude-code-mcp repository—it seems more like a casual discussion about tool preferences rather than any official news.

Steinberger recently joined OpenAI to work on agents-related tasks, and it’s interesting that he continues to comment on Claude. He has also written about AI productivity tools and his concept of “AI addiction,” positioning himself as a mix between a fervent enthusiast and a skeptic.

There are no indications that this is related to any new announcements or product updates from Anthropic. It’s simply a developer sharing observations about tool behavior.
