So what you're saying is you basically have to give. This is what I find real life is like. Unless I'm giving something, like a ride to some interesting place, people are not interested in me at all. They just want to get something from me, that's it.

I'm happy to hire juniors but they must still have relevant skills. One question I ask is "how does one build a coding agent" - if a junior is unable to outline the ideas around building and expanding coding agents, it indicates they are not aware of what industry they work in.

In all honesty this is how a typical developer experience has been for a long time in a number of systems. Expecting someone to pre-chew your programming food is silly.

I imagine they do not see it as a level playing field. If OpenCode can draw on Claude Code credits but cannot draw on Codex ones (we've just had a tweet promising to fix this, more or less), then it can be construed as an advantage on the part of OpenAI. Personally I think it's idiotic and companies should stop penny-pinching in situations where people are already paying $200, there can be no more value extraction at this price point.

Please stop with this 'subsidising' nonsense. It is nobody's business whether anybody is subsidizing anything. I couldn't care less what the internal financial mechanics of Anthropic is. Even if they are losing money on every single paying user, I DO NOT CARE, it's their problem, not mine.

Yep. That was definitely a major mistake. They could have secured an epic W by letting Claude Code hang as a consumable endpoint. Trying to protect it behind their own, Anthropic-based tools, is asinine and serves absolutely no-one.

Infotainment controls many of car systems. For example, infotainment controls car drive mode, which instantly affects gearbox. Probably requires predictable time delays for certification.

Performance or not, this language is borderline unreadable.
