To all the people in the HN comments saying negative things about Claude: why don't you just use other models instead?
- georgel 1mo agoWork only allows the tools they buy. So at least for me, I am stuck with Claude. At home for personal projects I am a fan of DeepSeek v4 Flash.
- threecheese 1mo agoClaude is all we have at $work, if you don’t count MS Copilot (and you shouldn’t count MS Copilot). Imagine being “incentivized” to aggressively use a tool for your job, and that tool produces thousands of lines of text in Olde English which you need. You’d be griping too, methinks.
- voidfunc 1mo agoCopilot is fine? Just use it through whatever harness you want like OpenCode.
- threecheese 1mo agoI think you are referring to GitHub Copilot, which is fine (even though their context windows are artificially truncated and their dev tooling leaves a lot to be desired). I was making fun of the Copilot that’s shipped with MS stack. “Hey summarize my Teams meetings and try not to fuck that up too badly” - that one.
- slashdave 1mo agoDon't much care for the misdeeds of the alternative
- rubslopes 1mo agoFor me, there are two reasons: it’s what my work provides, and for some tasks, I want the absolute best model for coding. Having said that, I just subscribed to ChatGPT yesterday, as I've become impatient with Claude for a text-dense project I'm working on.
- bbg2401 1mo agoAnthropic has done their utmost to put Claude front and centre for professionals in multiple industries. This includes extremely tedious marketing campaigns. I'm sure they can handle a few negative comments from people they've snared, by hook or by crook.
