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

@nixCraft As Anthropic programmer, we are just following orders

@nixCraft
Can't wait for someone to use Claude to recreate Claude Code from this source dump and then creates fake Claude packages with an info stealer or another fun supply chain disaster...

@nixCraft An entire CLI with fs support in typescript is diabolical

Edit: Oh, I was way too slow.

Good point. Just a matter of time before this becomes a malicious chrome extension

Nice one, I too fell for this joke

You're one day early.

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@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

[dvdschneider@infosec.exchange]

@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
