Every time something like this comes up, I find myself saying "It's going to get far worse".

I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of for-sale software.

So sad, thanks for sharing.

Hacker News in 2026 is the probably the worst place in the world for this! Blame those PCs who cosplay as NPCs in every discussion about Claude Code.
