I think Anthropic just highly RL’s their model to work best with it’s Claude Code’s particular ways of going about things.
All the background capability Claude code now has makes things way more complex and I saw a meaningful improvement with 4.6 versus 4.5, so imagine other harnesses will take time to catch up.
I use Prompt, Ever Terminal, Whisper, EC2 and Claude Code.
I can build anything with it. Having Claude on top of a terraform repo lets me fully control my infra. Claude is so good at AWS and terraform, and it even found a $3k monthly accidental spend I had running (also sent a refund request to hopefully get some credit back).
Also have a Claude driven CI workflow in GitHub to help keep everything on track.
Having full access to the Claude Code TUI is so much better than the web or iOS interface, plus everything runs on your own setup.
And agree it has replaced doom scrolling / useless new reading.
