>> Someone at Anthropic must’ve caught wind… just a day after making my decision, they announced Claude Code would finally start supporting AGENTS.md files in an effort to get me to stay.

> Forgive me for asking if I should know, but who is the author? Is he famous?

I think that was tongue in cheek. And by that I don't mean the author's tongue was actually in his cheek.

I also think it went over your head. And by that I don't mean I think it literally went over your head.

It's clearly a joke, but I can forgive some people for taking it literally, given the impact that certain well-known devs have on other companies' decision-making. It's a common enough line that it's plausible this could have been a VIP whose opinions swayed a company. Not him and not Anthropic, of course, but it does happen.

		I wouldn’t even say not Anthropic, Boris is soliciting recommendations for Claude Code right now in the secrets exposure thread. Hardly implausible

I can't believe you didn't pick up on the sarcasm in the GP's comment...

		While I agree the sarcasm is obvious, important to remember sarcasm doesnt really translate well if english is not your first language, and notoriously does not translate well online regardless, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
