Expert Claude Advice
After extensive research into how to get the most out of Claude, we have arrived at a single, unambiguous recommendation.
The Advice
Buy a drinking bird.
Claude is good. Claude is fast. Claude is, on most days, helpful and harmless and honest. But Claude does ask you to press Y a lot. And your finger, frankly, has better things to do.
The drinking bird — a glass thermodynamic toy patented in 1946, immortalized by Homer Simpson in King-Size Homer (S7E7) — is a passive heat engine that bobs its beak into a glass of water indefinitely. Position it over the Y key. You have now achieved expert-tier Claude usage.
That is the advice. That is the whole site. Below are some drinking birds you can buy.

The Original Glass Drinking Bird
The platonic ideal. Red head, blue felt, glass tube of methylene chloride. Looks exactly like the one Homer used. Will absolutely press Y for you, given a properly calibrated cup of water and a stable desk.
Jumbo / Large Drinking Bird
For users with mechanical keyboards, large keycaps, or simply a taste for grandeur. The larger reservoir means longer uninterrupted bobbing sessions — i.e., longer agent runs.
Drinking Bird Multipack
Running Claude Code in three terminals? Running Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku in parallel? Each model deserves its own bird. Multipacks let you scale your Y-pressing infrastructure horizontally.
Novelty / Themed Drinking Birds
Penguin variants. Dinosaur variants. Translucent variants. Functionally identical, aesthetically superior. The bird you choose says something about you, and what it says is "I have automated my consent."
Drinking Bird Science Kit
For the user who wants to understand why their Y-pressing apparatus works. Vapor pressure, evaporative cooling, the second law of thermodynamics. Claude can explain all of this to you. The bird, meanwhile, will press Y while it does.
FAQ
Is this a real recommendation?
It is a sincere joke. The drinking bird genuinely can press a key if positioned correctly. Whether you should automate your approval of Claude's tool calls is between you, your employer, and your git reflog.
Is this site affiliated with Anthropic?
No. Claude is made by Anthropic. Drinking birds are made by physics. This site is made by a person who thought this was funny.
Will Claude approve of this?
Claude will gently note that bypassing human review on agentic tool calls can have unintended consequences, especially for destructive operations. Then it will ask if you'd like to proceed. The bird will say yes.
