I have two comments. One this feels like anti-competitive behavior that should not be accepted or allowed. Two, how can people support this?

There are multiple comments in this thread with comments along the line of: "Oh im sure they didn't mean to, let's not attribute this to malice". There is a long history here of lawyers, back and forth between OpenCode and OpenClaw and various other "Open" harnesses. Digging into my commit history and blocking access based off of a string is not acceptable for a product in my opinion -- and I don't think this was purely on accident.

Other comments calling out that they are compute constrained and need to do this in order to continue functioning. They shouldn't oversell then. I think that overselling airline tickets is abhorrent and so is overselling any product in a way that you know that you will impact legitimate customers. Up your pricing and/or stop accepting invites, we will quickly get to the bottom of it.

A company does not deserve the benefit of the doubt over and over and over again.

Pin your dependencies folks! Audit and don't upgrade to every brand new version.

Agree, for now im using dotagents by sentry to handle a lot of this.

I love it. Brilliant satire that foreshadows the future.

Sell the solution. The Claude code review system is 15-25 dollars per-review!

Yep, except this time its "We will take the data that you are generating in order to tell everyone that you aren't necessary anymore".

Agree. It's the primary reason (IMO) that they are so bullish on forcing people to use claude code. The telemetry they get is very important for training.

I think it's a well balanced article.

The Anthropic Marketing here has... not been. I think that it's a great signal of agent orchestration, logevity of tasks, etc, but the messaging is "Software is Over we built a C compiler that can build linux, doom, sqlite, etc".

The oracle and existing test suites were a big chunk of why this got as far as it did IMO (well besides the training data in which there have been hundreds of c compilers). I also don't see a reference to the studies that call out that they could get copyrighted works with high percentages out of models, which would should also be included.

I am currently deciding what I do with future projects with regards to open sourcing because of the world this has been creating with regards to IP.

The telemetry from claude code must be immensely valuable for training. Using it is training your replacement!

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

IMO it's funny, but not terribly useful. As long as people don't take it too seriously then it's just a hobby, right.... right?

Even their status page (which are usually gamed) shows two 9s over the past 90 days.

I use opencode with codex after all the shenanigans from anthropic recently. You might want to give that a shot!

This is a common problem and you can find reports of it all over X, including from some influencers. Even outside of VSCode.

$1,000.00 of credits per-day?? $200,000 per year? Those are bonkers numbers for someone not performing at a high level (on-top of their salary). Do you know what they are doing?

I believe it is getting close to this. Things like this just take time though, and when this person talks to management/leadership they talk about how much they are producing and how everyone is blocking their work. So it becomes a challenging political maneuvering depending on the ability of certain leadership to see through the BS.

(By my organization, I meant my company - this person doesn't report to me or in my tree).

Agree, maintainability, security, standards, all of these are important to follow and there are usually reasons for these things existing.

I also see AI coding tools violate "Chesterton's Fence" (and the pre-Chesterton's Fence, not sure what that is called, the idea being that code is necessary otherwise it shouldn't be in the source).

I think there are two other things missing: Security and Maintainability. Working code that can never be touched again by a developer or requires an excessive amount of time to maintain is not part of a developers job either.

Overall, this hits the nail on the head about not delivering broken code and providing automated tests. Thanks for putting your thoughts on paper.
