With respect, this is a myopic view. Not all software is an "app" or a monolith. If you use a terminal, you are directly using many utilities that by this metric are considered dying or dead.

Yeah, this one demonstrates a particularly pernicious view of software development. One where growth, no matter how artificial, is the only sign of success.

If you work with service oriented software, the projects that are "dying" may very well be the most successful if it's a key component. Even from a business perspective having to write less code can also be a sign of success.

I don't know why this was overlooked when the churn metric is right there.

Forcing a single commit per PR is the issue imo. It's a lazy solution. Rebase locally into sensible commits that work independently and push with lease. Reviewers can reset to remote if needed.

And the point being made is that can be done using only Anthropic provided tools. Ask claude to set up crontab for you and be proactive. It will happily do so. This spring/summer you'll find all the same stuff they OpenClaw has in a Claude product. Most of it is already there just not packed neatly for a non technical user.

They lowered limits opaquely before this. They "announced it" in a twitter by a tech lead. This time it was in an email on a Friday to only some customers.

Yes, it's an unsurprising strategic choice. It's just sloppy PR that places the blame on OpenClaw somehow being irresponsible, when the actual rationale has little to do with that.

What are they going to ban you for? Using their products? If Anthropic didn't want you to use their LLMs around the clock they wouldn't publish the features on their consumer app to do just that.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. `claude remote` on a secure vm is basically all you need to operate a factory from your phone. I suspect a lot of people with your line of reasoning are stuck on human in the loop while awake level of AI use. Anthropic has no interest in that long term and all of their product moves validate that.

Anthropic wants power users, that's specifically their game, they just don't want those users using a harness they don't control.

It's not nefarious it's just bad PR cover. They definitely don't have enough compute.

For many it doesn't. It's opaque, it changes, and they bury the news in fucking twitter. https://x.com/trq212/status/2037254607001559305

There's a lot to love about Anthropic. But man do they suck at PR.

https://martinfowler.com/articles/harness-engineering.html it's being talked about everywhere.

If you manage developers or product folk, do you allow them to work when you're not looking over their shoulder? All developers can be managers/team leads now. You plan, you delegate, you review.

You're welcome to not do this, surely that's appropriate in quite a few areas of work, but many of us are because we can get more work done than if we we're micromanaging every line of code change. For startups, where a bit of quality can suffer in favor of finding market fit, this is huge.

Nothing beyond fumbling the PR around it.

It would be like some people sending the gym's competitor's android to the gym instead of the android the gym provides. Said gym also doesn't have enough equipment for everyone's gym appointed android despite being more expensive. Said gym doesn't want to admit this, nor does it want to raise prices on an already more expensive subscription. Said gym doesn't want competitor's android to gain marketshare. Said gym blames competitor's android for using up gym equipment despite gym's own android being capable of using as much equipment.

Definitely. They will see less usage. That's good for them because they have infra scaling issues that they don't care to admit explicitly. Their competitor will also get less telemetry (if they enable it). It's a win win.

Claude code is still getting used by these agents. They banned the mimicry awhile ago and said claude -p was fine.

OpenClaw just happens to also get telemetry, of probably higher value, out of the same tokens. It also happens to be owned by their competitor.

edit: I'm wrong OpenClaw surprisingly doesn't collect telemetry. Good for them.

Claude code has /loop. Claude app has scheduled tasks. The leaked source has a proactive mode.

I'm sorry but this framing just doesnt make sense.

Yes, mostly what I'm saying, but forgetting the important part:

From the email: > but these tools put an outsized strain on our systems. Capacity is a resource we manage carefully and we need to prioritize our customers using our core products

OpenClaw doesn't put an outsized strain on their systems any more than Anthropics own tools. They just happen to have more demand than they can serve and they benefit more when people to use their own tools. They just aren't saying that explicitly.

It has nothing to do with fairness or being nice.
