   tl;dr if you make absolute dogshit software that takes 4.38 seconds to stabilize its first paint you can make really nice headline claims by "optimizing" it later

      Unironically true, can someone question, what is Claude desktop app doing that needs 500k+ lines of code?

      Agents complicate something that should be much smaller and simpler and then agents speed it up adding more complexity. I suppose functionally you may say this is fine but aesthetically it is hideous!

         the codex desktop app bundles libreoffice's libraries. i wouldn't be surprised if claude does something similar.

            This 500k lines doesn’t count libreoffice source code etc afaict.
