Anthro is having its Apple moment: too many customers means the company is always on the news, for better or worse.
When iPhones receive negative reviews it's not like only Apple screwed up; others did too, but they sell so much less than Apple that no one hears about them:
"Apple violated my privacy a tiny bit" makes the news;
"Xiaomi sold my fingerprint info to 3rd party vendors" doesn't.
Similarly, Anthropic is under heavy fire recently because frankly, Claude Code is the best coding agent out there, and it's not even close.
It's the worst experience in tmux! They lectured us about how the roots of the problem go deep, but I don't have this issue with any other CLI agent tool like Codex.
> Neovim has a decade old feature request for multiple clients to be able to connect to it. No traction alas.
Why cram all features into one giant software instead of using multiple smaller pieces of software in conjunction? For the feature you mentioned I just use tmux which is built for this stuff.
Also, OpenCode has been extremely unreliable. I opened a PR about one of the simplest tools ever: `ls`, and they haven't fixed it yet. In a folder, their ls doesn't actually do what you'd expect: if iterates over all files of all folders (200 limit) and shows them to the model...
tbh I think Google should sell all the companies they bought because Google can't deliver any products anymore. There are product companies (hello OpenAI, Anthro) and then there are corporate companies. Google is the latter. Their attempts at making new products have been failure after failure recently:
Bard → Gemini → Jules → Antigravity (they can't even come up with a good product name)
Their GCP console is a mess. Wanna get a Gemini API? Good luck with that.
And where is the "internet through balloons"? Where's their quantum HPC? Where is half the stuff they demo every year to devs to prove that they're still relevant but never ship them? e.g., where is that smart glass they used in their demo last year that had Gemini in it and could analyze what you see? Where's their "calls any restaurant on your behalf" ML model they introduced many years ago?
Google has lost it, and to make things even worse, occasionally they poke at their successful products and googllify them too (YT likes disappearing, Gmail with Gemini, Google Search performing worse than Bing, etc.)
