Given the Anthropic legal terms forbid competing with them, what are we actually allowed to do with this? Seems confusing what is allowed. No machine learning work? That would compete. No writing stuff I would train AI on. Except I own the stuff it writes, but I can’t use it. Can we build websites with it? What websites don’t compete with Anthropic? Terminal games? No, Claude code is a terminal game, if you make a te…

Anthropic's terms typically restrict training competing AI models with their outputs, not building standard applications or websites that simply use their API as a tool.

it reads, “competing products or services” — not “training competing AI models” with their outputs

Also, who the fuck wants a codebase they can’t train models on

Amazing how there's whole companies dedicated to this and yet claude code keeps leading the way.

Does it? Claude Code is the product that works the least well for me, mainly because of its tendency to go off and do tons of stuff. I've found LLMs are at their best when they produce few enough lines of code that I can review and iterate, not when they go off and invent the world. For that reason, I mainly use Aider and Cursor (the latter mostly in the "give me five lines" comment mode).

I tell Claude Code to make a detailed implementation plan, then come back to me for discussion, then we step through the plan bit by bit together. It's all about guidelines. Don't want it to charge ahead? Tell it not to.

I think it's going to go the opposite way: we'll get a lot more custom made software, that fits exactly what a small customer needs. The code might be utter crap, the design might not be award winning, but it will be custom made to a degree that you can't customize your average Savas.

But "utter crap" isn't just an aesthetic issue - that can mean all kinds of bugs and malfunctions!

And infinite job security for those who know how to turn on a debugger

And we may get an ugly transitory period where a lot of programs go from being clearly hand made with some degree of care and some fine details that show the developer's craftsmanship, to awful prefab and brutalist software that feels inhuman, mass-produced, and nothing is really fit for the job but still shipped because it kind of works well enough.

This was the promise of "no code" / "low code" solutions in the past It has never worked in the past, I'm not entirely convinced that it will work now

Agreed. Trying to live in a high level of abstraction without understanding the components of the system will cause the project to fail after a certain point.

Would love to see this in Cursor. My workaround right now is using a bunch of rules that sort of work some of the time.

As an ex-Cursor user myself, is there any reason that you’re still using it? Genuinely curious.

Cursor has the best tab completion model. I use it together with Claude Code.

$20 Cursor Pro plan and $200 MAX Claude Code plan really is a great great pairing.

Only a few lucky ones will get the operator jobs, everyone else will queue at the job center.

Save people, not jobs. Alas, the powers that be prevent that.

As seen in many countries, people without jobs don't have much of to live from, unless they are lucky ones living at the beach profiting from shares, driven by endless exponential growth demands.

Or people will just throw the product away and buy a replacement because it’s cheaper than fixing it, much like we no longer mend clothes

If programmers become 10x more productive but demand only grows by 5x, what will happen?

Obviously there will still be as many programmers, each working 2.5 days a week.

And surely each programmer will still earn just as much income but only work half as much

I think the kind of people, who in the past constructed extremely useful (if brittle) solutions with Excel, will be creating all sorts of AI bespoke and very useful tools.

It won't bother them at all what the code looks like under the hood. Not that the code will look worse that what an "average" developer produces. Claude and ChatGPT both write better code than most of the existing code I usually look at.
