Well, the thing is, I do not just use my computer, but connect to their computers and I do not like to get banned. I suppose simple UI things like expanding source files won't change a thing, but the more interesting things, editing the context etc. do have that risk, but no idea if they look for it or enforce it. Their side is, if I want to have full control, I need to use the API directly(way more expensive) and wh…

It doesn't matter what defence you can think of, if they want to ban you, they'll ban you. They won't even read your defence.

I know. All I could do in that case is a blogpost "Claude banned me, for following claude's instructions!" and hope it gets viral.

src/cli/print.ts This is the single worst function in the codebase by every metric: - 3,167 lines long (the file itself is 5,594 lines) - 12 levels of nesting at its deepest - ~486 branch points of cyclomatic complexity - 12 parameters + an options object with 16 sub-properties - Defines 21 inner functions and closures - Handles: agent run loop, SIGINT, rate-limits, AWS auth, MCP lifecycle, plugin install/refresh, wo…

Yes, if it was made for human comprehension or maintenance. If it's entirely generated / consumed / edited by an LLM, arguably the most important metric is... test coverage, and that's it ?

Ye I honestly don't understand his comment. Is it bad code writing? Pre 2026? Sure. In 2026. Nope. Is it going to be a headache for some poor person on oncall? Yes. But then again are you "supposed" to go through every single line in 2026? Again no. I hate it. But the world is changing and till the bubble pops this is the new norm

It really doesn’t matter anymore. I’m saying this as a person who used to care about it. It does what it’s generally supposed to do, it has users. Two things that matter at this day and age.

This is the dumbest take there is about vibe coding. Claiming that managing complexity in a codebase doesn't matter anymore. I can't imagine that a competent engineer would come to the conclusion that managing complexity doesn't matter anymore. There is actually some evidence that coding agents struggle the same way humans do as the complexity of the system increases [0]. [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.24755

Well what is Anthropic doing differently to deal with this issue? Apparently they don't write any of their own code anymore, and they're doing fine.

Undercover mode also pretends to be human, which I'm less ok with: https://github.com/chatgptprojects/claude-code/blob/642c7f94...

You'll never win this battle, so why waste feelings and energy on it? That's where the internet is headed. There's no magical human verification technology coming to save us.

Except for the one Sam Altman is building.

Because they want it to be executed quickly and cheaply without blocking the workflow? Doesn’t seem very weird to me at all.

Why do you need to do it at the client side? You are leaking so much information on the client side. And considering the speed of Claude code, if you really want to do on the client side, a few seconds won't be a big deal.

> a few seconds won't be a big deal

it is not that slow

Anthropic team does an excellent job of speeding up Claude Code when it slows down, but for the sake of RAM and system resources, it would be nice to see it rewritten in a more performant framework!

And now, with Claude on a Ralph loop, you can.

Source here https://github.com/chatgptprojects/claude-code/

https://github.com/instructkr/claude-code this one has more stars and more popular

Popular, yes... but have you seen the issues? SOMETHING is going on in that repo: https://github.com/instructkr/claude-code/issues

It may be economically effective but such heartless, buggy software is a drain to use. I care about that delta, and yes this can be extrapolated to other industries.

Genuinely I have no idea what you mean by buggy. Sure there are some problems here and there, but my personal threshold for “buggy” is much higher. I guess, for a lot of other people as well, given the uptake and usage.

Two weeks ago typing became super laggy. It was totally unusable.

Last week I had to reinstall Claude Desktop because every time I opened it, it just hung.

This week I am sometimes opening it and getting a blank screen. It eventually works after I open it a few times.

And of course there's people complaining that somehow they're blowing their 5 hour token budget in 5 messages.

It's really buggy.

There's only so long their model will be their advantage before they all become very similar, and then the difference will be how reliable the tools are.

Right now the Claude Code code quality seems extremely low.
