I really hope that someone disputes their DMCA claim based on that. I imagine no one will, since they'll probably be sued by Anthropic, but it would be really funny.
When people suggest to use AI for open-source projects, what exactly are they advocating for given that the median open-source project budget is pretty much $0/month? Maybe $1/month if the maintainer likes to have a website for the project.
Ha, I just shipped an open source library using the Anthropic API. The way I solved the cost concern was by having users bring their own API key. Zero infra cost on my end and they pay for what they use.
The $20 / month subscription is less than I pay for electricity already and the local models are also capable enough. A lot of the top open source projects have paid devs working on them already.
I suppose “review” is misleading, since I’m not actually reading the code, I’m simply asking Claude to explain what the code is doing. I’ll change that so it’s expressly clear that none of this code is actually human-reviewed.
I don't think any of my managers has ever been directly involved with having to deal with business expenses, so I don't think that's really a thing that they think about when managing me.
Also, for what it's worth, when I was let go from my previous job, my former manager actually kept checking my LinkedIn profile on a weekly basis, presumably to see if I'd landed a job. I think that might count as "giving a shit".
Well, the manager who railroaded me into a PIP at AWS also kept checking my LinkedIn profile. While my pre-PIP (“focus”) was 70% my fault. I was objectively railroaded toward my PIP. I kept meeting all of my goals and they kept adding more.
Not that I gave a shit. I was 46-50 and on my 8th job and knew what I was getting myself into from day one. I came in with a plan and had a job and multiple offers within 10 days
