What's the best current cli (with a non interactive option) that is on par with Claude code but can work with other llms like ollama, openrouter etc? I tried stuff like aider but it cannot discover files, the open source gemini one but it was terrible; what is a good one that maybe is the same as CC if you plug in Opus?

#242Do you just let it run rampant on your system and do whatever it thinks it should, installing whatever it wants and sucking all your config files into the cloud or what?

Re: What makes Claude Code so damn good
#244So, what great new products or startups have these amazing coding agents helped create so far (and not on the AI supply side). Anywhere to check?
You really should not check that... I saw some dude on reddit saying that you can build your own saas in 20 days and launch and sell it. I checked out some of his; Claude Code can do that in a few hours . So can I without AI as I have a batteries included framework ready that has all the plumbing done. But Claude can do those from scratch in hours. So 1 day with me doing some testing and fixing. That is not a product…
What AI can definitely not do is launch or sell anything.
I can write some arbitrary SaaS in a few hours with my own framework, too - and know it's much more secure than anything written by AI. I also know how to launch it. (I'm not so good at the "selling" part).
But if anyone can do all of this - including the launching the selling - then they would not be selling themselves on Reddit or Youtube. Once you see someone explaining to you how to get rich quickly, you must assume that they have failed or else they would not be wasting their time trying to sell you something. And from that you should deduce that it's not wise to take their advice.

Sure but he was particularly talking about the technical side of things.

In person I am, but this new fangled 'influencer' selling or what not I do not understand and cannot do (yet) (i'm in my 50s so I can still learn).

Yeah but most don't actually name the url of the product and he does. So that's a difference.

I mean, if advice like this worked, then why wouldn't Anthropic let the LLM say it, for instance?
Because it’s embarrassing, and probably nobody understands why this works, depending on such heuristics that can completely change in the next model is really bad…
And depending on people in forums to provide these instructions is of course not great.

I've used Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot is Vscode and I don't "know" that Claude Code is better apart from the fact that it runs in the terminal, which makes it a little faster but less ergonomic than tools running inside the editor. All of the context tricks can be done with Copilot instructions as well, so I simply can't see how Claude Code is superior.
For code generation, nothing so far beats Opus. More likely than not it generated working code and fixed bugs that Gemini 2.5 pro couldn't solve or even Gemini Code Assist. Gemini Code Assist is better than 2.5 pro, but has way more limits per prompt and often truncates output.
Re: What makes Claude Code so damn good
#249I don't get it. The title says "What makes Claude Code so damn good", which implies that they will show how Claude Code is better than other tools, or just better in general. But they go about repeating the Claude Code documentation using different wording. Am I missing something here? Or is this just Anthropic shilling?

Nowhere in the title does it compare to other tools? Just that's it's damn good.
Without these premises, one could state that the 1996 Yugo was so damn good. I mean, it was better than a horse.
