Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵


now a deleted tweet, probably nothing


The current "MCP is dead discourse" is my current favorite example of the really annoying "simplicity" brainrot that's been plaguing tech for a while On paper "just use a cli agents already know bash" sounds really good. It makes sense and is true, but it misses the bigger picture: > how do they know about the commands + their shape? > just put it in your agents md file or make a skill > ok, so then what happens if the cli's shape changes > well then u just update the markdown file > fine let's pretend people will actually do that (they will not) and this actually works, how are you going to scope authentication and authorization? > use the cli auth tools like what AWS has > ok so we need eng's or agents to be manually making sure every project switches the auth to the correct scopes for each project so that prod can't get vibe killed and then to connect to our internal services over cli in cloud agents we need to run basic agents in sandboxes now b/c we're not using mcp and... You get the point. It sounds really simple, and it is in the toy case, but in the real world an external API gated through MCP is actually way simpler, more secure, and manageable in a lot of cases. This post & article from @GergelyOrosz is a very good example: x.com/GergelyOrosz/s… It's the same thing with the $5 VPS or htmx or postgres or whatever other "simple" enlightened solution that works great in dumb indie hacker demos while making zero sense in the real world. I hate to break it to you guys, but there's no conspiracy. If modern tech solutions really were over complex slop do u really think these companies wouldn't take the free win to just do it the "simple" way? There are tons of problems with the tech, but it exists for a reason. I like CLIs a lot, and in a lot of cases skills make sense, clis make sense, etc. There are a lot of ways to do things, and they all solve different problems. But no, MCP is not dead. It or something like it isn't going anywhere. And there are a lot of good new ideas of how to make it better! Dumping an MCP with 60+ random tools into context sucks I completely agree and needs to be fixed. A lot of the code run solutions are very compelling like @RhysSullivan 's executor, cloudflare's code mode, and others. There are ways to fix this, but a "god mode bash tool" isn't it.
