THE SIGNATURE FLICKER

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Anthropic has fixed Claude Code's signature flicker. Terminals weren't really designed for interactivity. Repositioning the cursor and writing over existing text easily leads to flickering if not done well. Anthropic chose to re-render only the changed parts. It rewrote the renderer from scratch while still keeping React as the component model.
