alt Hacker NewsWhy does it matter if Claude Code opens in 3-4 seconds if everything you do with it can take many seconds to minutes? Seems irrelevant to me.

This is exactly the type of thing that AI code writers don't do well - understand the prioritization of feature development.
Some developers say 3-4 seconds are important to them, others don't. Who decides what the truth is? A human? ClawdBot?

Because when the agent is taking many seconds to minutes, I am starting new agents instead of waiting or switching to non-agent tasks
I guess with ~50 years of CPU advancements, 3-4 seconds for a TUI to open makes it seem like we lost the plot somewhere along the way.
