This is particularly interesting, as Steve Yegge works on (and I think leads) Sourcegraph Cody[0], which is a competitor to Claude Code.
Cody does use Claude Sonnet, so they do have some aligned interests, but it's still surprising to see Yegge speak so glowingly about another product that does what his product is supposed to do.

- mtlynch 2y agoYeah, but it's pretty different complaining from the position of a rank and file engineer at what was then like a 50k-person org as opposed to praising a competitor's product when you're at a small company, and you're the public face of your product.
- istjohn 2y agoThanks, I never read that one. Yegge's writing is just delicious. He could write a guide to watching paint dry and I would savor every word.
