alt Hacker NewsI have a disaffinity for Claude Code because it's unnecessarily big, closed source (disregarding the leak), and I have a strong feeling it'll be shittified in the future because of all the investors waiting to cash out (and perhaps even earlier by vibe coding).
I have an affinity for small open source tools that do one thing and do it well. But those are just my preferences and I feel a little bit like an alien :)

This happens to everything from which a profit is extracted.
Perhaps there's a way to fund the training of "actually open source" models, but so far we don't have that (unless you count the Chinese government).

I hear you. I’m just in the camp of using the best tool available today, and if things change in another tool becomes better(either because the new tool is an improvement, or because the old tool gets worse) then I will switch.
Perhaps because I am notoriously terrible at predicting the future. I gave up on that after passionately and exhaustively trying to convince everybody I knew that OS/2 was the future.
