Is all you need to know to consider how much of an abomination it is

You have your dates and models wrong, it was Opus 4.5 released in November 2025, that changed everything, Opus 4.6 was released in February 2026.

I feel like there's only going to be more attempts like this, given the state of how many recently made redundant software engineers out there, and the level of desperation to find a job.

They see it as an investment, they're basically shooting in the dark hoping they'll hit their target and get a bounty payout.

You start by rejecting those PRs, saying "write more maintainable code, not quick hacks".

How do you go about that when for example, my previous employer just allowed any software developer to commit to any branch, and there was never any code review happening?

It was going to happen regardless due to the nature of enshittification. If they really wanted to stop people using 100M tokens a day, they could've prevented it years ago.

It's possible that Anthropic sees that the loss of $20/mo customers could be offset by the customers purchasing the $100/mo plan

It's quite telling, they've paused new signups because Microsoft doesn't have enough compute, and they moved Opus to only being accessible on a higher tier because Anthropic doesn't have enough compute either.

They're all operating at a loss, enshittification is coming for us all.
