The interface designed for humans is poor for AI needs? And the interface designed for programmatic use is easier for the AI to use? In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.

Yep, everyone knows computer use is more expensive. This is about quantifying the gap

If you just made this, who is reviewing this? How many total reviews? Can we see the reviews? Did you get 100 5 stars and 10000 0-1 stars? Where did you find those customers? I understand that this is obviously megavibe coded, but is this just marketing lies?


Great! So all of this 10x boosting is visible in which economic indicator?

Debt.

It's definitely not! Now I can Claude Code proof all future PRs into my open source repo with a single commit message.

In the lifespan of Git and GitHub that’s all very recent.

But on the timescale of tech it's a long time. When a service has serious availability issues for like 7 quarters straight that's.. I mean, it's why we're all talking about it.

CircleCI has been this bad for 10+ years and they’re still in business.

I think I worked at one company that used BitBucket instead of GitHub but GitHub has been the main place for the internal company repos everywhere else I’ve worked. GitHub is quite popular for any sort of git hosting.

They burned through their goodwill years ago and are insistent on reminding us all that they are now exactly as shitty as Microsoft because they it’s all Microslop worst customer practices.

Like with any LLM produced project, can you? Sure. Will it be engaging, well written or consistent? Almost certainly not.


Listen, no one cares if you think you’re smart for seeing through the lies of their marketing team. You’re being intentionally obtuse.


My point is the opposite. I don't think my observation was smart, and I'm surprised to so many people here, a venue with a lot of people who use this stuff far more than I do, think it wasn't an easy to grok thing.


You’re still intentionally missing the point. Everyone knows they are lying. It doesn’t excuse the lies!


I’m not. Why would anyone believe marketing speak for any product? One should always assume that at best they’re fluffing their product up and more likely that they’re telling straight up lies


1. False advertisement is a thing, to the point there are laws against it

2. They were caught blatantly lying, and you're literally telling everyone it's the users' fault for not digging into the black box that is Claude Code (and more so Anthropic's servers) and figuring its behavior for themselves. A behavior that suddenly changed on a March day [1] and which previously very few people ever needed to investigate.

I'm not saying this is a great state of affairs. But I'm saying that it's so pervasive in daily life that yes, at least part of the blame lies on users for not taking this into account. As a developer it's important to at least try to understand the tools and libraries on which one relies. Relying on magic black boxes is not a good plan on the user's part, and they need to be defensive about this. Too many developers have been more than happy to hand the keys over to the AI assistants and hope for the best.

Also it wasn't completely undocumented, rather it was hiding in not-quite-plain sight. Which itself is a bit duplicitous, but again something that's far from unique on the part of Anthropic.


They just altered this deal for everyone else. Wonder how long they will wait before default opting you all into training too?
