This is the most exciting business fight of our time and I’m chomping popcorn with glee.
I think Anthropic is grossly overestimating the addressable market of a CLI tool, while also falsely believing they have a durable lead right now in their model, which I’m not so sure of. Also their treatment of their partners has been…shall we say…questionable. These are huge missteps at a time they should be instead hitting the gas harder imo.
They’re getting cocky. Would love to see a competitor to swoop in and eat their lunch.
It's easy to forget the product Anthropic are selling here, and throttling, is based on data they mostly pay little or no content fee for
6 months ago, "what temp is pork safe at?" was a few clicks, long SEO optimised blog post answers and usually all in F not C ... despite Google knowing location ... I used it as an example at the time of 'how hard can this be?'
First sentance of Google AI response right now: "Pork is safe to eat when cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C)"

How is it not the responsibility of senior management at a major retailer to ensure an exploit at a vendor can't take the whole house of cards down?
Many other major enterprise clients out there are all over vendor security/compliance ... auditing and reauditing vendors to minimise chance of this happening or worst-case, if does happen, containing it and recoverying quickly
EDIT: I haven't used Tailwind much but would something like this do what you're saying, or not really? https://www.loopple.com/tools/css-to-tailwind-converter
But this particular project is not like a standard site and the CSS is in small fragments across 100s files and uses constants for some things like color values in places too
In that Loopple example you can see the conversion uses the Tailwind arbitrary value notation, the -[], so background-color:#afa8af gets converted to bg-[#afa8af], but I wanted nearest pure tailwind class bg-zinc-400, the agent seems to work out color distance fine so does all that in one-shot too
I see people mention converting old legacy code from an old language to something more modern. I've also seen people mention greenfield projects.
Anything other than this? I'm trying to bring this productivity to my work but so far haven't been able to replace a week of work in a few minutes yet
That was gemini-cli, I could see some mistakes on trial run so created a GEMINI.md with system prompt and project description (about 50 lines) which clarified some tricky source layout situations
Second run it was fine, ran for about an hour or so -- I had attempted to do it manually a while back but it started to look like it would take a week or two
Because MCPs solve the exact issue the whole post is about
