For most people, CC is cheaper tokens for a SOTA model. What agentic platform would you recommend for those with API access (including other models)?

The comment wasn't about CC specifically. If you rely (like, can't ship without it) on any model that you don't control, it's not really your product. If Dario decides to increase pricing 500% because it's Tuesday, and you can't work without CC, you really have no choice but to open your wallet.

Open your wallet and pay someone who can? We used to call those technical cofounders, right?

codex is also good, has better usage limits compared to CC. Issue is that CC forced corps over 150 people into a API pricing, which is, well, suboptimal compared what we get. I think it will push those towards hiring more juniors (finally).

...H1Bs.

For those who don't want the complexity of Nix, Mise is a good compromise

+100. I also dig fnox (encrypted-secrets-in-git) and hk (pre-hooks manager that is actually fast and stays out of the way) by the same author, pretty much default for any project I start nowadays. Though I also use nix to manage my machines :-D

Ohh fnox looks really cool, with encryption being one possible provider but something like Vault being another. Thanks for the recommendation.

Basically any other that is not stuck to being managed just by one company. Claude Code does things like using CLAUDE.md and other stuff specific to just their platform, so you are basically locking your project, and everyone else who works on it, to Claude Code only, if you don't also port everything you do to other harnesses. If Anthropic is giving cheaper tokens in exchange for locking you in into their ecosystem,…

It also can respect AGENTS.md, just saying. It’s all about your README.md. But I’m with you about being agent agnostic.

I assume it will be similar to when a person is out sick or on vacation. Another person on the team likely could take over the work for a day, but realistically it just sits until they're is back.

So work stops until Claude is back? What if Claude comes back and costs 10x the amount? The answer is obviously that you'll "bend over" and pay, because the AI vendor who convinced you that Claude is so great owns you, your codebase, and by extension your company now.

What happens when your engineer realizes they can make 10x more at another company? They leave and work stops. You then hire someone else or raise your pay to get better, more reliable engineers. The analogies keep going because AI is a tool, not a replacement. If it's a tool used by a non-technical person, so be it, but it's still just a tool.

How many times can I read the same shallow guidance written by AI on using a coding agent? Good god when will it stop

Do you have any resources for someone just getting started that you'd recommend? I've --successfully-- ignored AI for the last two years as I was taking care of our kiddo. I'm attempting to catch up in the next few weeks.

You're absolutely right to call this out — and honestly? I want to sit with that for a moment. Here's the thing: this isn't really about AI writing. It's not even about coding agents. It's about something much deeper. What's genuinely worth knowing: while I generally agree, many people may not. I think there's a really interesting conversation to be had here. Thanks for naming this. It needed to be named.

I'm stuck on the usage "mulle times a week" which shows up twice in the context of the Claude team editing or contributing to a CLAUDE.md file. Is this an AI-generated artifact?

That got me too. It's not there anymore. Could be a simple typo, but I my mind jumped to `s/tip//g` which is kinda interesting

I think you're right, more evidence: "11. s From the Anthropic Team", "Boris’s single most-repeated ."

In my CLAUDE.md I have: - corporal threats of harm directly against Claude - threats of prison for the entire board of directors of Anthropic - explanation how every time it goes off the rails / makes mistakes, it gives more evidence to a class action lawsuit against Anthropic Especially the latter two seem to have improved its "behaviour" to be more "careful" and "deliberate"
