The Making of Claude Code

xpct•1 minute ago

Nauseating on so many levels. What are we celebrating, even? Authors themselves say that Claude does their work, so what is their input? It's been barely a year in production for what can be best described as a 'buggy mess'.

Incredibly cringe. Literally every single medium mode problem for a team is framed as a groundbreaking achievement. These people snort their own farts.

Please be respectful. I find it incredibly dismissive that you would use such language to describe such amazing individuals. They revolutionized the industry. They built a game engine to render text for cripes sake! So please get it right.

Huff. They huff their own farts.

You’re totally right! You’re not building a CLI tool, you’re building a game engine!

Guess I have to throw it in here… “/s” on my original comment

I support this comment, at the expense of wanton karma forfeiture.

I think the fart snorting assertion can be proven. There is evidence.

Claude itself (Opus) gave me the following conclusion:

> The article frames Claude Code as the latest step in a lineage from punch cards → ed → modern editors → AI agents. Multiple team members say they no longer write any code by hand. The overall tone is "we built the right primitive (read/edit/bash), bet on future model improvements, and it paid off."

Honestly I don't want to endure an awkward terminal interface and/or questionable design to just arrive at this conclusion.

The self-mythologising is strong with this one...

> I had written a whole pull request by hand, and then Adam rejected it. But he said, “Actually, you should use clide for this.”

Interesting

Sonnet 3.5 and Cursor proving PMF for agentic coding should've at least got a mention...

Nice; Pretty interesting historical narration of Claude Code.

Why do I have to select if i want to read it in terminal or in the browser? I clicked the link, show me the text.

You are not being clever, you are annoying.
