And yet even dogfooding their own product heavily, it's still a giant janky pile. The prompt work is solid, the focus on optimizing tools was a good insight, and the model makes a good agent, but the actual claude code software is pretty shameful to be the most viable product of a billion dollar company.

What artifact are you evaluating to come to this conclusion? Is the implementation available?

The source for one of the initial versions got leaked a while ago and let’s say it’s not very good architecturally speaking, specifically when compared with the Gemini CLI, which it open source.

The point of Claude Code is deep integration with the Claude models, not the actual CLI as a piece of software, which is quite buggy (it also has some great features, of course!)

At least for me, if I didn’t have to put in the work to modify the Gemini CLI to work reliably with Claude (or at least to get a similar performance), I wouldn’t use Claude Code CLI (and I say this while paying $200 per month to Anthropic because the models are very good)

A. I use it daily to take advantage of the plan inference discount.

B. Let's just say I didn't write the most robust javascript decompilation/deminification engine in existence solely as an academic exercise :)

		https://github.com/sibyllinesoft/arachne There are a lot more stuff (both released and still cooking) on my products page (https://sibylline.dev/products), I will be doing a few drops this week, including hopefully something pretty huge (benchmark validation is killing me but I'm almost good to cut release).
