Claude has been left in the dust by Gemini with its million token session and ability to upload a zip file of my entire code base.
claude code still has the best UX IMHO. But I would love to have the million token context, for sure

#92The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy. I've been using Claude code since the initial public preview release, and have seen the direction over time. The "golden" end state of coding agents is that you give it a Feature Request (EG Jira ticket), and it gives you a PR to review and give feedback on. Cursor, windsurf, etc, are dead ends in tha…
Can't you have that already? Put the Aider CLI into a GitHub action that's triggered by an issue creation and you're good to go.
Aider is definitely in the same camp. Last time I checked, they weren't optimizing for the full "agent infinitely looping until completion" usecase, and didn't have MCP support.
But it's 100% the same class of tool and the awesome part of the unixy model is hopefully agents can be substituted in for each other in your pipeline for whichever one is better for the usecase, just like models are interoperable.

"- anthropic employees, with unlimited claude, average to $6/day of usage" From the link: "Apparently, there are some engineers inside of Anthropic that have spent >$1,000 in one day!" The question is what is the P50, P75, and P95 spend per employee?
Agree. That would be a great insight as well as what type of activities cause the explosion in spend.
they probably wouldnt share so i didnt ask

No. The "golden" end state of coding agents is free and open source coding agents running on my machine (or in whatever machine I want). Can you imagine paying for every command you run in your terminal? For every `ls`, `ps`, `kill`? No sense, right? Well, same for LLMs.
I'm not saying "ban propietary LLMs", I'm saying: hackers (the ones that used to read sites like this) should have as their main tools free and open source ones.

Re: Claude Code SDK
#97Claude Code is my favorite way to use LLMs for coding. However I feel what we really need is to have an open source version of it where you can pass any model and also you can compare different models answers. (Aider and other alternatives really doesn't feel as good to use as Claude Code) I know this is not what anthropic would want to do as it removes their moat, but as a consumer I just want the best model and not…
OpenAI codex is probably the closest to what you're talking about, its open source and you can use models from any provider. It's not as good as claude code right now but I bet it wont take long for them to catch up.

You can use Claude Code as an MCP server so you can kinda do this already.

Say what you will, but this would have the wonderful side effect of forcing people who write JIRA tickets to actually think through and clearly express what it is they want built.
Yeah, that’ll be the product-oriented engineers / engineer-oriented product folks. We will drop the narrow-minded deadweight that can only collect naive requirements, and the coding side that can only implement unambiguous tickets.

Is this a me thing, or a millenial thing? I hate using voice for anything. I hate getting voice messages, I hate creating them. I get cold sweats just thinking about having to direct 10 AI Agents via voice. Just give me a keyboard and a bunch of screens, thanks.
Voicemail universally sucks. However, when you're having a synchronous conversation with actual people, do you prefer to do everything via IM, or would you prefer a phone call?
> do you prefer to do everything via IM, or would you prefer a phone call?
It's hard for me to believe that there are psychopaths among us who prefer call on the phone, slack huddle or even organize meetings instead of just calmly writing messages on IM over coffee.
