Gemini CLI is a solid alternative to Claude Code. The limits are restrictive, though. If you're paying for Max, I can't imagine Gemini CLI will take you very far.

Kilocode is a good alt as well. You can plug into OpenRouter or Kilocode to access their models.

Why are so many people so obsessed with feeding as many prompts/data as possible to LLMs and generating millions of lines of code? What are you gonna do with the results that are usually slop?

If the slop passes my tests, then I'm going to use it for precisely the role that motivated the creation of it in the first place. If the slop is functional then I don't care that it's slop.

I've replaced half my desktop environment with this manner of slop, custom made for my idiosyncratic tastes and preferences.

The author was frustrated that the error message identified him as an organisation (that was disabled) and mockingly refers to himself as the (disabled) organisation in the post. At least, that’s my reading but it appears it confuses about half of the commenters here.

I think if one's readers need an "ironic euphemism decoder glossary" just to understand the message, it could use a little re-writing.

It was perfectly understandable to me. Maybe cultural differences? You seem to be American, OP Portuguese, and myself European as well.

> I've been using it effectively to write software now (I am NOT a developer) What have you found it useful for? I'm curious about how people without software backgrounds work with it to build software.

I started using claude-code, but found it pretty useless without any ability to talk to other chats. Claude recommended I make my own MCP server, so I did. I built a wrapper script to invoke anthropic's sandbox-runtime toolkit to invoke claude-code in a project with tmux, and my mcp server allows desktop to talk to tmux. Later I built in my own filesystem tools, and now it just spawns konsole sessions for itself invoking workers to read tasks it drops into my filesystem, points claude-code to it, and runs until it commits code, and then I have the PM in desktop verify it, do the final push/pr/merge. I use an approval system in a gui to tell me when claude is trying to use something, and I set an approve for period to let it do it's thang.

Now I've been using it to build on my MCP server I now call endpoint-mcp-server (coming soon to github near you), which I've modularized with plugins, adding lots more features and a more versatile qt6 gui with advanced workspace panels and widgets.

At least I was until Claude started crapping the bed lately.

I tried Gemini like a year or so ago, and I gave up after it directly refused to write me a script and instead tried to tell me how to learn to code. I do not make this up.

Have a max plan, didn't use it much the last few days. Just used it to explain me a few things with examples for a ttrpg. It just hanged up a few times. Max plan and in average I use it ten times a day? Yeah, I am cancel. Guess they don't need me

That's about what I'm getting too! It just literally stops at some point, and any new prompt it starts, then immediately stops. This was even on a fairly short conversation with maybe 5-6 back and forth dialogs.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The author was using instance A of Claude to update a `claude.md` while another instance B of Claude was consuming that file. When Claude B did something wrong, the author asked Claude A to update the `claude.md` so that Claude B didn’t make the same mistake again

I don't understand how having two separate instances of Claude helps here. I can understand using multiple Claude instances to work in parallel but in this case, it seems all this process is linear...

The point is to get better prompt corrections by not sharing the same context.

Serious question, why is codex and mistral(vibe) not a real alternative?

I tried codex, using my same sandbox setup with it. Normally I work with sonnet in code, but it was stuck on a problem for hours, and I thought hmm, let me try codex. Codex just started monkey patching stuff and broke everything within like 3-4 prompts. I said f-this, went back to my last commit, and tried Opus this time in code, which fixed the problem within 2 prompts.

So yeah, codex kinda sucks to me. Maybe I'll try mistral.
