As someone who doesnt use these tools, why does every AI company need their own version of Claude Code? Is there more to it than vendor lock-in?

- theredleft 4mo agoimplementing their own version of steganographic monitoring lol
- dcre 4mo agoA joke but also not a joke.
- ambicapter 4mo ago"Quality" of the harness matters a lot to the user experience, and the construction of the harness will depend on the behavior/quirks of the underlying model. So, if you're using Claude Code, you can expect it to work best with Anthropic models, and expect other model-makers to want you to use the harness they've developed. But mostly vendor lock-in, I imagine.
- computerex 4mo agoWhy not? They are relatively easy to make so why not. Even I made one: https://github.com/computerex/z https://github.com/computerex/z
- cheesecakegood 4mo agoThere are different grades of vendor lock-in. There's mechanical lock-in (which is a thing, like .claude folders) and economic lock-in but then we don't pay enough attention to behavioral lock-in. Habit is powerful, and if you can habituate users into a certain flow, change feels bad and they are more likely to stay.
