> This should be at minimum 8–10 separate modules. Can't really say that for sure. The way humans structure code isn't some ideal best possible state of computer code, it's the ideal organization of computer code for human coders . Nesting and cyclomatic complexity are indicators ("code smells"). They aren't guaranteed to lead to worse outcomes. If you have a function with 12 levels of nesting, but in each nest the f…
This answer blew my mind. It's making me think in a very different way.
src/cli/print.ts This is the single worst function in the codebase by every metric: - 3,167 lines long (the file itself is 5,594 lines) - 12 levels of nesting at its deepest - ~486 branch points of cyclomatic complexity - 12 parameters + an options object with 16 sub-properties - Defines 21 inner functions and closures - Handles: agent run loop, SIGINT, rate-limits, AWS auth, MCP lifecycle, plugin install/refresh, wo…
here's another gem. src/ink/termio/osc.ts:192–210 void execFileNoThrow('wl-copy', [], opts).then(r => { if (r.code === 0) { linuxCopy = 'wl-copy'; return } void execFileNoThrow('xclip', ...).then(r2 => { if (r2.code === 0) { linuxCopy = 'xclip'; return } void execFileNoThrow('xsel', ...).then(r3 => { linuxCopy = r3.code === 0 ? 'xsel' : null }) }) }) are we doing async or not?

Yes, based on research of human code. LLMs write code differently. We should question whether the human research applies to LLMs at all.

They write code differently but that doesn't mean that's the kind of code they prefer to read. Don't ascribe too much intention to a stochastic process. Their coding style is above all else a symptom of their very limited context window and complete amnesia for anything that's not in the window.
I don't think there's intention. And yes, its output is defined by its limits. But it's not just the context, is it? Their coding style is, above all else, a result of an algorithm and input. The training data, the reinforcement, the model design, the tuning, the prompt, the context. Change any one of those things and the code changes. They are a system, like an ecosystem. Let water flow and it finds its own path. But try to dam it and it creates unintended consequences. I think what we're going to find is some of our rules apply more to a human world than an LLM world.
Has the source code 'been leaked' or is this the first evidence of a piece of software breaking free from it's creators labs and jump onto GitHub in order to have itself forked and mutated and forked and ...
A LLM has about as much free will as a calculator. Which is to say, zero.
And this isn't even an LLM - it's just the harness.
Gemini CLI and Codex are open source anyway. I doubt there was much of a moat there anyway. The cool kids are using things like https://pi.dev/ anyway.
> I doubt there was much of a moat there anyway. There is _a lot_ of moat. Claude subscriptions are limited to Claude Code. There are proxies to impersonate Claude Code specifically for this, but Anthropic has a number of fingerprinting measures both client and server side to flag and ban these. With the release of this source code, Anthropic basically lost the lock-in game, any proxy can now perfectly mimic Claude C…
Until they introduce new fingerprinting measures and restrict older Claude Code builds.
