Claude Code's code was leaked, converted from Typescript to Python and now it's completely legal to be used by everyone. Imagine the irony if Claude Code was used to port its own version to Python 🤣 #claude#claudecode
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.
@deepseek_ai is great but I haven’t found out a LLM that outperforms @OpenAI when it comes to tooling in the API. Form my experience, calling the right function at the right time with the right parameters seems to be a struggle for all LLMs out there.
