Their installer (curl | sh) was taking so long yesterday for me.

It turns out it's incredibly slow... because of the progress bar rendering. This is insane. The installer took 6 minutes to reach 10%:

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/v2/install | bash

Managed to fix it by running this instead:

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/v2/install | bash 2>&1 | cat

Isn't that an issue with your terminal? Why is stdout so slow?

Sounds like I'm not upgrading then. My current OpenCode works perfectly and too many life experiences with "don't fix something that ain't broke" ;)

If you have Nix, you can run it using:

    nix run github:juspay/agent-distro

I suspect heavy eyes free coding. I spent the last week helping them understand a major security regression in config loading, took two issues/pull requests. Our hunch is the Ai told them what they had was good, not enough human critical thinking.

I've switched to Pi because I do not like the direction v2 has taken UX. Nor do I trust the security posturing going forward. There is also the social media stunts of the CEO that push me away.

I'm now trying to advocate Pi adopt system level configuration for similar security reasons. If any HNers would like to add their thoughts, please do so here

And they created the slowest webpage on the planet Earth. Full throttle slop.
