If Claude Code truly was worth something they'd sell it instead of forcing its use with a subscription.
replyIncredible take. They are selling it.
replyNo, they are not. People just want the model. Let people bring their own harness to their Anthropic subscription and see who's still using CC.
replyYou can literally do this right now if you want. The masses have spoken, they want CC.
replyYou literally can't use your Anthropic subscription that you paid for with any agent other than CC, you have to pay by the token. We've talked about this a lot; check the history.
replySaying "you can use any agent, just pay 20x more than ours" does not demonstrate a realistic choice.
Isn’t this the point? People use CC for the model, not the harness. So the harness can be slop and it doesn’t matter.
reply> That's pretty interesting, right? I'd love to be talking about that instead
replySo would I and a couple of others, but HNers don't want to have those kinds of conversations anymore.
