Anthropic‘s throwing out new models but the devs are NOT happy.

Was all the goodwill people had for Anthropic products them selling unsustainably high performance at a loss?

Different model limitations for different groups of people…

Imagine what the military and secret services are getting.

1. bind user to email

2. allow login via magic link via email, after login the jwt/cookie/whatever should have no expiration date

3. (optional) allow one user to have multiple emails + merging accounts/users (call it backup email to collecr multiple user emails in advance, soft nudging only, not mandatory to use the product!)

4. (optional) offer any other way to login (un+pwd), google oAuth…

It‘s THAT easy.

Right you are! We aren‘t even in the real squeezing phase yet and everyone‘s already crying about plan limits and model nerfing.

Seems like the math ain‘t mathing for any ither but Anthropics pay-per-token API plan.

Try it out and you will quickly see how much money they‘d really like for your excessive usage.

Google products ux is widely acknowledged to be a steaming pile of shit though, so I am not sure you should follow their example.

Many of the metrics they use are obviously actively user hostile.

Would you allow it on yours? As a shareholder or on the board of directors of your company I would not be pleased.

Nothing nefarious about that.

I estimate far above 90% of frontends do the same thing you could do with .jsp or .jsf 20 years ago and yet here we are still not having perfectly reusable frontend primitives and everyone doing custom development. We were closer to that with bootstrap than now with tailwind.

I am convinced neither client side nor backend side AI solutions will solve this.

Fully on topic: It would be naive to believe that serious web offerings would allow you to do this. Reality is moving in a different direction: Try applying custom css and js to reddit, for example: The website is a nightmarish matryoshka of shadow dom components and that‘s only the beginning of the flashification and silverlightification of the web.

Traubenfuchs — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 23:39:20 +0000

You can cancel your subscription, there are like 5 competitors you can pick instead and anthropic offers an API plan where you can find out how many tokens circus tools like claws really consume compared to coding tasks.

Humanity did something better (humans on the moon) decades ago and now we are struggling to fly around the moon.

This is not exciting, it‘s embarassing.

Besides that it‘s a massive waste of money and brings no value to humanity, the USA or science. Why is this done again?

I feel like anyone excited about this is weird.

I really hope it won‘t take my job and I am very afraid, nut:

Why hasn‘t it happened yet? Why hasn‘t the job market imploded? What‘s missing? Why do my colleagues, I and my friends still have their bullshit jobs? Why didn‘t my companies output explode through our unlimited claude access? What about all the other companies?

For him, Claude Code does NOT run git reset --hard origin/main against project repo every 10 minutes.

I just checked, mine also doesn‘t.

Someone who is conincidentally both rich and has cancer tries to find a cure for his cancer by… spending money and being desperate enough about it to be available 24/7.

What about this exactly is inspiring?

As an EU citizen I hate this but I know it‘s a „when?“ not an „if“ topic.

I realise the EU is our only hope to defend ourselves against big players like China and the US and smaller bullies like Russia.

But at the same time I realise the EU we have in this timeline is one of the worst possible: a criminal venture, a safe heaven for the corrupt elite + their lobbyists and an organisation that‘s hell bent on harming and controlling its citizens.

Majorities for sane parties are not possible. Democracy is too slow, too indirect. Hell, this is barely a democracy at all, just like on the national level. As EU citizens we as powerless as every other citizen in the world.

> It had to be functional, it had to meet incredibly strict styling guidelines across every single Apple platform, and most importantly, it just had to work.

Not a single person at Apple ever tried liquid shit when accomodations for the sight impaired are enabled and even without those it sucks.

What a joke!
