Claude Code could absolutely build a chat client in the hands of someone who could also build the rest around it.

Slack itself originally ran on irc servers as the back end, and I consider it a modern IRC implementation.

So why can't Anthropic build a CLI client that doesn't flickr and doesn't consume 68 GB to run a CLI wrapper on top of their API? https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2026497606575398987
