    The truth is that using AI well is a skill much like anything else. There's no one single way to use it much like there's no one single way to write a program that serves hackernew…

    I have my qualms with Anthropic/Claude but they've also had to scale unfathomably fast and that is just hard to do regardless.

    That's where competition and creative destruction comes to play.

    That's not the argument. No one is asking users to be grateful for OSS. They just want users to not be dicks to the maintainer. Would you continue volunteering if the beneficiaries…

    This makes no sense. Google is beholden to its own shareholders, not the markets at large. In any case, it's well known that devs in Google have liked anthropic/openai models for c…
