you literally don't have to. you can literally just keep doing your job the way that you always have.

I probably won't have a job for much longer if I do that, unfortunately

I don't think that is true.

Anthropic is not building good will as a consumer brand. They've got the best product right now but there's a spring charging behind me ready to launch me into OpenCode as soon as the time is right.

Would you use Opus if you switched to OpenCode?

I'd like to use Opus with OpenCode right now to combine the best TUI agent app with the best LLM. But my understanding is Anthropic will nuke me from orbit if I try that.

Nope, why would anybody type commands to a machine that does natural language processing? Just tell the thing what you want.

Yes, but you gotta learn what is possible. I wouldn't have the thought to say to the machine to compact its context if I didn't know it has context and it can be compacted, right?

Why do I need to tell the machine to compact its context? This feels like homework and/or ceremony.

I think it's funny and interesting how LLMs are commoditizing information generation. It's completely expected, but also somewhat challenging to figure out what the best combination of "learning" "fact" systems is.

I'd be curious to know more about how this compares to other approaches.

I use claude code every day, I've written plugins and skills, use MCP servers, subagent workflows, and filled out the "Find your level" quiz as such. According to the quiz, I am a beginner!

Did anyone not get beginner? I got it as well.

I'm a beginner with agentic coding. I vibe code something most days, from a few lines up to refactors over a few files. I don't knowingly use skills, rarely _choose_ to call out to tools, haven't written any skills and only one or two ad hoc scripts, and have barely touched MCPs (because the few I've used seem flaky and erratic). I answered as such and got... intermediate.
