They run on an operating system you probably don't know all the inner workings of.

And that runs on a chip with trillions of transistors.

Yeah so? Claude isn't an OS. It's the thing making my code. I don't want my codebase to be some bytecode adjacent thing that LLMs operate on.

  • So you stand upon a big pile of black boxes.

    • Black boxes aren't inherently bad. But if they don't have well defined mappings of inputs to outputs, they aren't good black boxes. That's the problem with Claude Code imo.
