It's absolutely insane that they can't keep track of a CLI application that makes shell calls. This is so far from rocket science even mentioning the term is misleading.

To be fair, rocket science is also easy. You just combine a propellant and an oxidiser in a reaction chamber.

In fact, everything is easy when you summarise it in one sentence and don't think very hard.

  • Yea not at all. There are dozens of oss Claude code clones written by 1 person with a few contributors that work as well if not better. So it's really not some massive challenge. A decent cs student with enough coffee could get 40% the way there in a week without any llms. The same can't be said for rocket building or even design...

    • What people believe are the core features has never been difficult to implement. Building "something like" Twitter or facebook or reddit has always been possible within a few days.

      It's an iceberg, most of the complexity lies underneath the obvious stuff.
