Who's the whiny baby? The developer writing some code in their own repo, or the guy complaining about it on Hacker News?

Yeah I also noticed this irony. In addition to accusing the rewrite to being political and not technical, while their whole comment is being political not technical.

I meant my comment not the rewrite

Ah, fair enough then, you mean want to clarify that a bit as it can be interpreted both ways. And the whiny baby part seems a bit uncalled for and distracting from the point you’re trying to make.

Don't give them too much credit, they responded to other comments clearly referring to the developers' comments on twitter about his technical motivations. He's just backtracking now due to your comment.

I meant the developers motivation with "whiny baby" and I take the point that this was over the top and I could’ve found better words.

But I meant that my comment is "politics-based and not technical", because the gut feeling is more based on my reading of soft factors than it is from in-depth technical analysis of everything involved.

How can you be so blind? This is all a marketing campaign by anthropic. No more no less. The developers doing the rewrite have no voice at all in this game.

People never want to admit when they're used, especially when they're only used to make someone slightly more rich.

> You're posting valid criticism, therefore you're a crying baby

Yawn.

To me it reads much more as political polemic/signaling than any sort of valid critique
