Using Claude Code seems like a popular frontend currently, I wonder how long until Anthropic releases an update to make it a little to a lot less turn-key? They've been very clear that they aren't exactly champions of this stuff being used outside of very specific ways.
Is it not about the same as using OpenCode?
And is running a local model with Claude Code actually usable for any practical work compared to the hosted Anthropic models?
Right now it suits them down to the ground. You pay for the product and you don’t cost their servers anything.
I think CC is popular because they are catering to the common denominator programmer and are going to continue to do that, not because CC is particularly turn-key.
