Actually, there are more internet users today than at any point in history. The internet is far from dead. The commenter in question is the CTO of the company which makes Wordfence. My instinct says they're not on the OpenAI payroll and you're looking at a normal comment and not advertisement. I think you should check your priors man; it's worth thinking critically before you toss out accusations like that.

Thanks joenot443. I suspect the only way to prove that I’m legit to the doubters is to do something a paid shill or a bot would never ever do. To the commenters who think I’m a shill or bot: fuck every single one of you and the various motherfucking horses you rode in on. I suspect we may be entering a dystopia where vulgarity is proof of life.

sorry this triggered you, i regret post what i posted, as i didn't expect it would really upset any hn user, but it did to you, so I'm sorry.

also i was referring to broadly the phenomenon not your post, e.g. even your post is from real human, it's the replies and upvotes push your post to the top.

i don't expect to convince you, but if there's anything I can do to un-upset you, I'd happy to try. :)

I had a preview of this over the weekend, notes here plus some example PRs: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/20/claude-code-for-web/ It's really solid. It's effectively a web (and native mobile) UI over Claude Code CLI, more specifically "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions". Anthropic have recognized that Claude Code where you don't have to approve every step is massively more productive and interesting than the…

great points @simonw - I, incredibly, haven't ever tried --dangerously-skip-permissions yet for any "real" projects. I generally find that it stops itself for good reason.

I feel like these background agents still aren't doing what I want from a developer experience perspective. Running in an inaccessible environment that pushes random things to branches that I then have to checkout locally doesn't feel great. AI coding should be tightly in the inner dev loop! PRs are a bad way to review and iterate on code. They are a last line of defense, not the primary way to develop. Give me an is…

this is a great point. The inner / outer loop is big. I think AI pushing PRs is kind of like pushing drafts to the public in social media. I don't want folks seeing PRs and such until I feel good about it. It adds a lot of noise, and increases build costs unless your CI/CD treats them differently which I don't know anyone doing.

I find Codex CLI to be very good too, but it’s missing tons of features that I use in Claude Code daily that keep me from switching full time. - Good bash command permission system - Rollbacks coupled with conversation and code - Easy switching between approval modes (Claude had a keybind that makes this easy) - Ability to send messages while it’s working (Codex just queues them up for after it’s done, Claude injects…

I agree!! But this repo https://github.com/just-every/code Fixed all of these in a heartbeat. This has been a game changer

Code is amazing. I'm not sure why OpenAI isn't using it as their default CLI. I was cancelling my membership and stumbled upon it right before, now I'm dropping my other subs to move to this.

I'm not saying it is, but if ANYTHING was the exact combination of prerequisites to be considered paid promotion on HN, this is the type of comment it would be.

So, let’s see if I get this straight. A highly identifiable person whose company sells a security product is the ideal shill? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. On the other hand, someone with a different opinion makes complete sense.

Lebron James endorses KIA. Multi-billion dollar companies can afford and benefit from highly identifiable people so I don't really think that argument makes it any less likely to be an endorsement.
