Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂

@nixCraft Haha, if you tell it: ”you can’t go on like this!”, it’ll interpret that as a positive

[hoboshrimps@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft They did say Claude has been coding itself for a little while now with minimal human input. Now we see the fruits of its labor https://www.axios.com/2026/01/13/anthropic-claude-code-cowork-vibe-coding

@nixCraft reminds me of the old joke that all Ai is just regex

[wordshaper@weatherishappening.network]

@nixCraft Oh, god, we used to joke that we could replace a lot of people doing bullshit jobs with a small perl script. Apparently Anthropic took that joke to heart and is trying to make it real.

[nymnympseudonymm@mstdn.science]

@wordshaper @nixCraft s/small perl script/terabytes of data, 10,000 GPUs, and PyML/

[wordshaper@weatherishappening.network]

@Nymnympseudonymm @nixCraft Well, yeah, that's then fronted with what's essentially a very small perl script. (I'm sure someone will be able to work out how to drop the LLM back end, you should be able to express what Claude Code does with a sufficiently expressive regex...)

[trkzn@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft Holy file naming inconsistency !

[darkasvim@fosstodon.org]

@nixCraft Has this been forked yet?

[buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft npm, what can't it do

@nixCraft You ever work with a new developer who's super excited to work on a project, and they stay up all night, every night working on code, just pumping it out.

And it's cool, and it works, but there's no testing, no real code review, no planning, no real defined goals. Just developer on 1000 cups of coffee.

Coding with ClaudeCode CLI is excellent if you simply have it do the scut-work for you. I mean, take a screen shot of an old app that you are converting to another language and say, "Make me a form with all these fields, using the styles I have defined in this css..."

And it grinds it out, just like a normal wizard that makes a template that is like 90% done from a viewer-perpective.

Now tell it, "I need to design an inventory system for a rental company that includes windows of availability for both serialized and pooled stock" And it will give you a gigantic system that 100% will not work at all, ever.

So, real thought is still absent.

Features like this should be outright illegal.

@nixCraft on one hand, using regex for sentiment analysis in an AI app?!??? Don't there are many models made just for that?

On the other hand, that's exactly a solution a LLM would propose for that problem.

[2something@transfem.social]

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Can someone use AI to "cleanly reimplement" it and make it gpl?

[n_dimension@infosec.exchange]

@nixCraft

The npm installation method is now deprecated.
Native installer is faster, requires no dependencies, and auto-updates in the background.
...the main cleanup step is making sure the old npm version is fully gone.

I almost didn't want to post, but since the wood folk have so little joy in their lives they dance around the fire in the woods, every time they think clankers stumble.

Youse are getting excitable over deprecated code, which in #Ai is last Friday push to prod.

@nixCraft Well now. This will be interesting as people dig into that code.

[fedihacker@masto.es]

@n_dimension @nixCraft wtf is this nonsense post?

[fedihacker@masto.es]

@nixCraft That's what happens when you vibe code the shit out the window.

Of course they were using typescript. That's one of the interpreted languages the LLMs have better results with.

[nixcraft@mastodon.social]

Anthropico is now takeing down those repos with DMCA. So someone convert the whole codebase from TypeScript to Python with Codex or such tools. So it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down. I guess AI is quietly erasing copyright https://github.com/instructkr/claw-code
