Earlier quoted context omitted.

The most controversial part is that they wrote a TUI in ReactJS, but they don't try to keep that part secret, they brag about it. :^)

Some are stuck in 2010s, where people thought that JS was turning into a lingua franca. As usual, such delusions are costing us some pretty heavy price. People seem to now accept crappy, laggy UIs "because it makes business sense", completely ignoring that their business _is_ providing a seamless experience. ugh sorry,

I think the reason behind using React and JavaScript is simpler - these tools are heavily vibecoded, and React/JavaScript is what was most present in the training data and as such is what the models excels the most at generating.

The crappy laggy UIs have the same root cause - heavy use of vibecoding with lackluster quality processes

vibe coding is barely a year old, this trend is older

Anthropic when they scrape the entire internet without permission: I sleep Anthropic when their own source code ends up on GitHub: Real s**

You are comparing Anthropic obtaining public data from the Internet to Anthropic leaking their trade secrets and having them distributed by third parties.

Doesn't Anthropic claim that Claude Code is 100% written by Claude, which would obviously mean that it is not copyrightable code and therefore the DMCA does not apply and logically that these DMCA claims are invalid?

I got a DMCA notice for my fork ( https://github.com/cg505/claude-code ) which I have not touched since May. Obviously, it didn't include the leaked source code. The DMCA notice published by GitHub includes this: > Note: Because the reported network that contained the allegedly infringing content was larger than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to…

Whelp, seems they fixed this as I was typing the post.

Lmao, didn't thought they'll consider looking into your repo even if you informed them that it's not related.
