Wasn't looking at leaked Claude Code source already enough for the ridicule?

I mean, that's just startup culture shipping half-baked duct-taped "products".

Reengineering a well-used open source project… that's proper hubris territory, if you do it poorly enough.

It's outside their "zone of absolute terror", to put it in anime references. Any argument against them while inside their domain is countered by their apparent success; as much as it pains me, the shit code did deliver enough. Not so when they step outside that domain, Bun was delivering before.

  • Idk, my entire career (15 years) has been startups and I have never shipped stuff that looked like that. We’ve shipped ugly but not that. It’s clear claude code is a vibe coded mess if you look at the source.
