And when you can use claude-code from basically any device (termux on phone via ssh), Why even bother? I had 3 friends ping me yesterday to tell me how this is

And when you can use claude-code from basically any device (termux on phone via ssh), Why even bother? I had 3 friends ping me yesterday to tell me how this is going to eat their job.... but i don't see how this is different from claude-code + some chat interface + mcp servers

The whole world is about bundling (and unbundling). Not saying it really is useful, but there are values bundling an easier interface to CC with battery included.

  When someone is pushing 500 commits a day, i don't think they have time to review any code, and it was likely written in full YOLO mode. So it's not just batteries-included, it's probably 100-vulnerabilities-included as well

    I agree. It is basically claude code running dangerously all the time. That is actually how I use CC most of the time, but I do trust Anthropic more than random github repo. (I have the same sentiment about manifest v3 and adblocker, but somehow HN groupthink is very different there than here) Edit: imagine cowork was released like this. HN would go NUTS.

    this is the whole message of this hype that you can churn out 500 commits a day relatively confidently the way you have clang churn out 500 assemblies without reading them. We might not be 100% there but the hype is looking slightly into the future and even though I don't see the difference to Claude code, I tend to agree that this is the new way to do things even if something breaks on average it's safe enough

> termux on phone via ssh I agree, but it also rhymes a lot with the infamous “why use Dropbox when you can just use rsync” comment. Convenience can be a game changer.

  Not exactly. This isn't substantive work. Do we really need to find a bunch of identical projects on GitHub? This is the kind of project I saw at hackathons in 2023 by teams that didn't win anything

  Yeah but you're still using anthropic's subscription and tokens. That's not really an alternative. That's why we're shipping our own model with cortex.build

    If you're not using Claude Code, why would you still use Anthropic. AFAIK their API pricing is not competitive.

You can talk to it in discord or whatsap or telegram etc. cause it's checking for you in a loop. That's the biggest difference I can tell.
