You honestly think “Anthropic employees are script kiddies with inflated egos that are high on their own supply” is a reasonable stance?

This seems such an immature take to me, and hard to take serious. Anthropic just a bunch of script kiddies? Really?

Claude Code is a vibe-coded product that doesn't seem to be undergoing regression tests.

It looks like they're running it in the loops then ship whatever looks the coolest.

How is this not "high on own supply"?

They’ve said themselves that Claude code is 100% vibe coded now. That certainly meets the criteria of “script kiddies” and “high on their own supply”. The negative connotations are there on purpose because of the bugs and issues that these products have, something which presumably they wouldn’t have if there was human oversight and acknowledgement that the AI isn’t infallible.

Maybe not the script kiddies part, but "high on their own supply" is certainly not unreasonable.

Seems reasonable to me
