It seems like the day has come to leave Anthropic. Initially, I loved Claude Code. It was a good harness and a simple TUI... and I had learned to eat my tokens with a sauce of subsidy. Before joining the Max plan, I had paid $280 in one weekend of development on Attachments. Sadly, as time went on, Claude Code became a terrible flickering TUI mess. This is now my biggest north star in building: don't do feature bloat and accept half-working vibe slop like the Claude Code team. I really respect Boris and the team, I just see the result of their experiment and I don't like using it. So, I stopped loving Claude Code and started tolerating it. It was a good harness and a terrible flickering TUI. Then they started to mess with the prompt and behavior — it became an even worse TUI (because every week was worse) and a bad harness. I complained here. People told me Pi is great. I tried Pi. Pi is great. Now, they have blocked me from using Claude Code Max on Pi. Makes sense, but I learned to like my tokens with a sauce of subsidy. So I'll start to do prompt optimization on Codex. If it was not for the subsidy, I would make Gemini's edit tool work and use that with Grok 4.2 and some open-source mix. Claude is good, but Claude Code is bad, and token subsidies are better than both. On the subsidies: my bet is that by the time they stop, we will have models that cost about that price to operate at that quality. In my estimate, subsidies are just bringing that future ahead a bit.
