Once people realize the fundamental incompatibility of these new repos with the old ones, they’ll be furious. GitHub will back down.

It’s like IPv6. Just worse.

My prediction: 20 years from now everyone will still use SHA-1 git. That will be simply easier.

Pirating it is.

It’s not any better today. Probably the only difference is that you’ll get some ads too.

- I’m sorry officer I didn’t know I was speeding. My car isn’t equipped with an instrument cluster.

- Oh, I see, go on then.

Then you’ll have “GitHub” uptime, breaking prod every day.

Just copy Claude’s output and shove it into Gemini and ask to rephrase.

Sometimes you are forced to use it - e.g. Bun in Claude Code. I like Opus models, but can't run them outside of Claude Code/Bun in subscription models.

Why not just change ownership then? I'd bet some people would be interested to pay some money for that...

I’d really suggest to run Claude Code in a sandbox! Anthropic can’t be trusted.

I run it on Mac with sandbox-exec. No access to AWS, database, pretty much just files in the current folder. Even if it goes rogue, it can’t do much harm.

It happened to me today. I was reading agent's answer and it asked me something. I didn't even get to the question - it accepted something! Jesus Christ. Where are the software engineers?!

Love the car, Toyota rocks with these GR cars (Corolla, Yaris). Mods are also super cool!

Feels like the seventies. Remember the time when tobacco CEO-s sweared, that they didn’t know cigarettes are unhealthy?

Give them a bottle of scotch and pack of cigarettes as well.

Anyone still be able to trust Bun? It looks like piece of garbage to me. Doesn’t even offer much compared to node or deno.

Can you be competitive with DUV? They are pushing it to the limit, but will it make sense?

China still doesn’t have EUV. How will they make competitive chips? Is TSMC allowed to make them?

Anywhere else in the world it’s possible to do this orders of magnitude cheaper.

But yes, it’s because of “options” and not because of greed.

Some group of people tries to extract as much money as possible. You can call this capitalism. I think it’s a big scam.

I want only their model, the rest is just garbage. I used Opus with pi.dev, worked perfectly fine. Fast and does exactly what it needs to do. Claude Code is slow, sluggish, buggy. Why are you forcing me to use it? Why should I pay an order of magnitude more to use pi.dev? That doesn't sound reasonable to me.
