how did they not call this OpenClaude?

This is massive. Arguably will be the start of the move to openclaw-style AI.

I bet anthropic wants to be there already but doesn't have the compute to support it yet.

What’s massive about cron jobs and webhooks? I feel like I’m missing something. This is useful functionality but also seems very straightforward.

For the love of god fix bugs and write some fricken tests instead of dropping new shiny things

It is absolutely wild to me you guys broke `--continue` from `-p` TWO WEEKS AGO and it is still not fixed.

--resume works fine?
blcknight 6 hours ago||
That's why I mentioned `-p`.

`--continue` and `--resume` are broken from `-p` sessions for the last 2 weeks. The use case is:

1. Do autonomous claudey thing (claude -p 'hey do this thing')

2. Do a deterministic thing

3. Reinvoke claude with `--continue`

This no longer works. I've had this workflow in GitHub actions for months and all of a sudden they broke it.

They constantly break stuff I rely on.

Skill script loading was broken for weeks a couple months ago. Hooks have been broken numerous times.

So tired of their lack of testing.

Been working fine for me with -p

Seems like more vendor lock-in tactics.

Not saying it doesn’t look useful, but it’s something that keeps you from ever switching off Claude.

Next year, if Claude raises rates after getting bought by Google… what then?

And what happens when Claude goes down and misses events that were supposed to trigger Routines? I’m not at the point where I trust them to have business-dependable uptime.

So MCP servers all over again? I mean at the end of the day this is yet another way of injecting data into a prompt that’s fed to a model and returned back to you.

All these new offers try to kill fire with fire. You don’t make the codebase better with more agents. You introduce more complicated issues.

It’s a trap.

One gripe I have with Claude Code is that the CLI, Desktop app, and apparently the Webapp have a Venn Diagram of features. Plugins (sets of skills and more) are supported in Code CLI, maybe in Cowork (custom fail to import) but not Code Desktop. Now this?

The report that they are 90% Ai code generated seems more likely the more I attempt to use their products.

Their source code leak showed how badly vibe coded Claude Code is, despite it being one of the best AI assistants.

But yea there's some annoying overlap here with Cowork which also has scheduled tasks, in Cowork the tasks can use your desktop, browser and accounts which is pretty useful - a big difference from these Claude Code Routines.

Why would you use it if you don't know whether the model will be nerfed at that run?

The obvious functionality that seems to be missing here is any way to organize and control these at an organization rather than individual level.

OpenClawd had about a two week moat...

Feature delivery rate by Anthropic is basically a fast takeoff in miniature. Pushing out multiple features each week that used to take enterprises quarters to deliver.

Do you mean a 3 months moat? Moltbot started going viral in January. That seems to be about a quarter to deliver to me : )

>Feature delivery rate by Anthropic is basically a fast takeoff in miniature.

I like to just check the release notes from time to time:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases

and the equally frenetic openclaw:

https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases

GPT-4.1 was released a year ago today. Sonnet 4 is ~11 months old. The claude-code cli was released last Feb. Gas Town is 3 months old.

This is a chart that simply counts the bullet points in the release notes of claude code since inception:

This is as bad and as slow as it's going to be.

The velocity of shipping is wild. Though I cannot recall a novel feature they shipped first. Can you?
whalesalad 13 hours ago|||
Hard to wanna go all-in on the Anthropic ecosystem with how inconsistent model output from their top-tier has been recently. I pay $$$ for api-level opus 4.6 to avoid any low-tier binning or throttling or subversive "its peak rn so we're gonna serve up sonnet in place of opus for the next few hours" but I still find that the quality has been really hit or miss lately.

The bell curve up and then back down has been so jarring that I am pivoting to fully diversifying my use of all models to ensure that no one org has me by the horns.

yeah i mean nobody uses Claude anymore, the utilization is too high

right, like the bar nobody goes to anymore bc it's always too crowded

Anthropic is trying to be AI version of AWS.
twoodfin 12 hours ago||
That is a really tough business if you can't match AWS' efficiency & reliability at scale. Presumably AWS also wants to be the AI version of AWS.

(Amazon + Anthropic does seem like a much more compelling enterprise collaboration / acquisition than Microsoft + OpenAI ever did.)

And yet none of them work properly and are unstable.

You're delusional if you think these features would take competent programmers quarters to deliver.

Is Anthropic not an enterprise?
unshavedyak 13 hours ago|||
Maybe they were accounting for huge layers of red tape in large orgs. God knows those are far slower than "competent programmers" lol
slopinthebag 10 hours ago||
That red tape doesn't disappear when you start vibe coding tho.
