On the other hand, if Anthropic is to follow the industry standards, this would never have happened in the first place. It's not like the feature gates are the frontier of software development.

There are two or three relevant companies in this space in America and this is the one of them that kicked off the whole terminal agent harness thing in getting market adoption. It's perfectly fine for neither of these companies to follow industry standards while they're figuring shit out

This is the most symbolic and unimportant change in history (you can literally just symlink), I think people will be fine.

Symlink requires admin, and most people do not run CC as admin with bypass permissions though.

On Windows you do. If you have to suffer it for some reason.

Ah, right. Windows...

Does that apply to WSL? I would assume everyone develops on WSL these days if they have to use Windows, at least...

There is a very valid reason on Windows not to allow people to do 'ln -s' without an admin.

WSL also has a huge perf hit when you cross FS boundary, but perhaps you have never experienced it, because you said, "Ah, right. Windows..."

But at least you've heard about WSL!

Right... you can just do it yourself.
