Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

How is your largest customer, Cursor, taking the news that you'll be competing directly with them?

Unless Cursor had agreed to an exclusivity agreement with Anthropic, Antropic was (and still is) at risk of Cursor moving to a different provider or using their middleman position to train/distill their own model that competes with Anthropic.

Could you share an example?

TLDR: told it to implement a grid view as an alternative to the existing list view, and specifically told it to DRY the code. What it did? Copy and pasted the list view implementation (definitely not DRY), and tried to make it a grid, and even though it is a grid, it looks terrible ( https://i.imgur.com/fJiSjq4.png ). I don't understand how people use cursor and all that other shit when it cannot follow such simple i…

In any moderately sized codebase it's basically useless indeed. Pretty much all the praise and hype I ever see is from people making todo-list-tier applications and shouting with excitement how this is going to replace all of humanity.

Hell, I still have to remind it (Cursor) to not give me fucking React a few messages after I've already told it to not give me React (it's a Vue application with not a single line of React in it). Genuinely maddening, but the infinite wisdom of the higher ups forces me into wasting my time with this crap

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

> Spends more time explaining why TypeScript in Svelte is problematic than actually fixing TypeScript in Svelte.

Damn, that’s brutal. I mean, I never said I knew how to fix ComponentProps or generic components, just that they have issues…

Oh god that's genuinely way more amusing than I thought llm systems were capable of.

The more I use LLMs the more I have actually gravitated to looking at the humor of LLMs as a imperfect proxy measure of "intelligence".

Obviously this is problematic, but Claude 3.5 (and now 3.7) have been genuinely funny and consistently funny.

Why can't they count to 4? I accepted it when Knuth did it with TeX's versioning. And I sort of accept it with Python (after the 2-3 transition fiasco), but this is getting annoying. Why not just use natural numbers for major releases?

You'd think all these companies would have a single good naming convention, amazingly they don't. I suspect it's half on purpose so they can nerf the models without anyone suspecting once the hype dies down, since with every one of these models the latter version of the "same" version is worse than the launch version

The API still has limits. Even if you are on the highest tier, you will quickly run into those limits when using coding assistants. The value proposition of Glama is that it combines UI and API. While everyone focuses on either one or the other, I've been splitting my time equally working on both. Glama UI would not win against Anthropic if we were to compare them by the number of features. However, the components th…

Ok, but that's not the issue the parent was mentioning. I've never hit API limits but, like the original comment mentioned, I too constantly hit the web interface limits particularly when discussing relatively large modules.

Right, that's how I read it also. It's not that there's no limits with the API, but that they're appreciably different.

I can just say that this is awesome. I just did spend 10$ and a handful of querys to init up a app idea I had in a while.

The basic idea is working, it handled everything for me.

From setting up the node environment. Creating the directories, files, patching the files, running code, handling errors, patching again. From time to time it fails to detect its own faults. But when I pinpoint it, it get it most of the time. And the UI is actually more pretty than I would have crafted in v1

When this get's cheaper, and better with each iteration, everybody will have a full dev team for a couple of bucks.
