Because it's mostly a load of crap.
Most of these reusable, automated workflows sound really cool in theory, but in practice either they require a lot of customization (not really reusable) or a lot of babysitting (not really automated).
AI has improved my productivity significantly, I'm not a hater, but we also have to be honest about its (current) limitations. The whole "software factory" thing is just a pipe dream people sell to execs / investors / online courses.
- thewhitetulip 3mo agoYes and this can be proven because what Anthropic says and does is vastly different They say SaaS is dead and you can vibe code any SaaS using Opus and yet despite having Mythos with them they have to use JS terminal to run Claude Code. Why don't they just vibe code CC? Why doesn't Dario have a 100000 agent swarm to run entirety of Anthropic or at least software department?
- jnwatson 3mo agoThey've said for some time that Claude Code is 90% LLM generated code.
- thewhitetulip 3mo agoYeah and it's still a cli tool running on JS So it's not a brag They could just write in Rust directly can't they? If they do that then they're doing what they preach
- solumunus 3mo agoMy app is written in TypeScript. With agents I could rewrite it in Rust, I just don’t need to so I don’t. It doesn’t warrant that level of performance and the business logic is more digestible in its current form. Given the amount of reviewing I need to do now, readability is worth more than performance. There are always tradeoffs. Are you implying that them attempting a Rust rewrite would fail, and this is why they’re not doing it?

- thewhitetulip 3mo ago> business logic is more digestible in its current form. Well, Anthropic spent many $ teling everyone that code is dead so this doesn't matter to them does it? Their business logic can be written in English!
- solumunus 3mo agoWhat do you mean by “they spent $ telling everyone that”? If anything, they told everyone that to receive $ in investments. Those statements are pure PR hype.
- nhggb 3mo agoAnthropic was saying that you don't need to review the code anymore. If that was the case, it just makes no sense at all to use JS. Take the free performance gain and don't read the code.
- thewhitetulip 3mo agoYep they can just prompt Fable or Mythos! Here is the prompt they can use: Claude, migrate Claude Code into Rust. Make no mistakes!
- solumunus 3mo agoGenuinely Fable would do a decent job.
- thewhitetulip 3mo agoYep and they still don't do it! So we should do as they do, not as they say
- IceDane 3mo agoAlso famously terrible. If not for the walled garden and the fact that anthropic can take away our ability to use custom harnesses any day, I would not be using CC. Given some of the features they add I've also started to suspect that their models are making product decisions. Not necessarily intentionally, but more in the sense that I think their engineers just let their models build and add whatever it feels like is a good idea to the codebase and then they just publish that.
