"I cancelled my #Claudecode subscription. I have a tendency to fixate on things and overdo it. Most of the time I can manage and keep things mostly under control, but this has the potential to do #realdamage. Worst of all, I wouldn't have anything to show for it at the end. #Codingagents have a way to turn your brain off: no learning, no big picture, just #prompting until it does your bidding. If I ever need such a tool, I'll run it locally with one of the open-source coding models. I'll use #LLMs for code like people use Shein for clothes. They both have terrible impact on communities and the environment, the comparison seemed fitting."
