I’d really suggest to run Claude Code in a sandbox! Anthropic can’t be trusted.

I run it on Mac with sandbox-exec. No access to AWS, database, pretty much just files in the current folder. Even if it goes rogue, it can’t do much harm.

It happened to me today. I was reading agent's answer and it asked me something. I didn't even get to the question - it accepted something! Jesus Christ. Where are the software engineers?!

Anywhere else in the world it’s possible to do this orders of magnitude cheaper.

But yes, it’s because of “options” and not because of greed.

Some group of people tries to extract as much money as possible. You can call this capitalism. I think it’s a big scam.

I want only their model, the rest is just garbage. I used Opus with pi.dev, worked perfectly fine. Fast and does exactly what it needs to do. Claude Code is slow, sluggish, buggy. Why are you forcing me to use it? Why should I pay an order of magnitude more to use pi.dev? That doesn't sound reasonable to me.

That’s exactly what I mean as well. Of course behind startups the basic idea is to innovate. But this gets lots, because most of people just want to make money. VC-s don’t care about innovation, they care that the money they put in, comes back.

It’s not evil, it’s just how money-oriented society works.

It’s very simple. Everbody just wants to make money.

Startups have nothing to do with innovation or making the world a better place.

It feels like it’s about creating the bubble, inflating it and cashing out before it bursts.

“America is best country in the world” thinking is very visible from the comments.

Yeah, it has super bad internet, but because it’s too big, Europe installed copper wires later, 25Gbit is not really that much in Switzerland, etc.

Millions of reasons, but understanding that the current capitalist system doesn’t work for internet infrastructure.

It's also interesting to see that after 30 years Windows NT is still a decent OS/kernel. Of course the rest of Windows is just pure garbage.

I don’t remember any service I used in the last couple of years, where I thought to myself: this service is really fast and responsive. Great experience.

Quite the contrary: feels like everything got worse. Sometimes painfully slow, buggy and unreliable.
