Also, yes there are still bugs in Claude Code. I experience them nearly everyday.
It is markedly better than early days, but still not the best harness.
The best software written with agents seems to come from people outside of the labs (see pi, for instance — or all of cloudflare’s recent work)
Which makes me question either the model, or the holders …
Also, not mentioned in my post:
- Mitchell Hashimoto
- Prime Intellect (and all their agent experiments)
- Geoff Huntley (see Jiti, for instance)
(many more)
There's a ton of interesting software being developed with these models by people outside the in group, but I find most of the software from these big guys to be ... bland. Buggy copies of copies.
I have a version of "Cloudflare OS" running in production, using Temporal as the orchestration and MicroVMs for the sandboxing.
Sorry, I get your point but personally I don't get the hype around them.
