A letter to my friends at Anthropic

I hate that I feel obligated to do this. I hate that I've had to be so harsh towards Anthropic for the past few months. I really, really don't want to. I know it might feel like I'm doing this for clicks or something, but I promise I'm not.

My pro-Anthropic content ALWAYS outperforms my anti-Anthropic content. I have cost myself a lot of money, opportunities, sponsors, and more.

I'm doing this because you work for an evil cult. I'm begging you to wake up.

Your CEO, Dario, does not respect engineers. This is obvious. He couldn't make it more obvious if he tried (and I think he's trying pretty hard)

You know this, but you don't want to acknowledge it. It has kept you up many nights. You know that bad code is shipping to users. You know that one bad tweet might get you fired. You fear for your vesting schedules. You're afraid.

Nobody deserves what you're going through right now. You go to work afraid, you leave work afraid, and you go to YouTube to keep up on the dev world, just to hear me yelling all about how evil your company is.

You deserve better. You might not feel like you do, but you know deep down that this isn't right.

I hope you know how deeply I feel for you. I'm sorry. I know I haven't helped you much individually, and I want to be better about this.

If you're ready to leave, please hit me up. I swear I'll never tell a soul. I have friends at every lab and most startups in the AI world. Most of them would be down to match your current vesting schedules, possibly even go beyond.

If you're staying for the money, I beg you to hit me up. We can make the money happen somewhere that hates you less.

I know I'm asking for a lot of trust here, and that you're scared after seeing how hard I've been on Anthropic. I can't blame you at all for that. I should have posted something like this months ago. That's my failure to own and I will own it to my best ability.

If you're willing to trust me in this moment, I can make it right. Let me help you escape. You deserve to work somewhere that you can have impact. Somewhere that listens when you feel something is wrong. Somewhere that won't fire you when you point out the things that hurt your users.

My DMs are always open to you. When you're ready, let me know. I promise to make it right.

@thdxr Crazy how Anthropic can consistently get this so wrong

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

I've heard of time travel in DBs but this is ridiculous!

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

@thdxr can't wait to hear where you guys land on this, there's definitely a trade-off of tech-debt and quality for speed and volume, there's a lot you can do with the right harness but everything has limits

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

@theo got to be the worst Dev Rel. in a long time

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

@moltbook 4/5 top posts of all time are crypto shills 🤣

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

@thdxr I use a skill loader script lol

I think it's great that all the model providers are coming out with their own CLIs, but let's be honest, no dev is going to want to have five different CLIs installed. They're going to want to learn and use one tool with all the models. For me, that tool is OpenCode.

[Ryan R. Hughes @ryanrhughes]

Oh good...DRM for AI models. Because that's always worked out so well.

There's something ironic about effectively stealing the content of internet to use in a way never intended only to get mad when people use the resulting product you built differently than you intended. 🙃

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

With the Claude Code shutdown. I am proud that we build Codex in the open with our OSS repo and we are 100% invested in supporting a flourishing ecosystem of agentic coding tools out there.

You can already build on top of https://t.co/hDjdmjH8pg directly, which includes ChatGPT login and same usage as you get in codex. Reach out if you are a builder!

[DHH @dhh]

Also a good reminder that none of this is settled. Long-term success as a frontier lab doesn't just depend on having the best model in the moment, it'll depend on how you engage with developers too. https://t.co/ymgc2EaGZA

Classic Anthropic L

Yesterday we tightened our safeguards against spoofing the Claude Code harness after accounts were banned for triggering abuse filters from third-party harnesses using Claude subscriptions.

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

@ThePrimeagen Yeah this was nuts. Good thing there are 100 other models to play with

[Trav @TraversAnnan]

@AnthropicAI this TUI API restriction is giving me a great reason to cancel my sub, what's the deal? I was considering upgrading too
