Files and folders are far from old tech. It is like not knowing how to calculate 2+2.

Where do you see files and folders nowadays? They're pretty much only used by developers and some corporate offices.

They are used by literally every office worker who does their job on a computer. It's not remotely uncommon.

They are still present everywhere. They are just badly hidden behind a leaky abstraction.

Google drive, icloud drive, anything drive is also file/folders based. Someone that doesn't know about that is a modern-day illiterate. Yeah, I know, there are many of them nowadays.

Are they actually? Google Drive has folders, but there's no concept of things like "which folder is this file in", you can have access to many root folders but not a list of them all, and the most convenient way to find anything is to search.

I know this one you ask jev for that right?

I'd guess because buying the meta glasses to use them is in a way helping it succeed.

> so I expect they could make it a bunch lighter if they kept trying.

What is preventing a 1T dollars company from "keep trying"? What did they "kept trying" that got them to ship a webapp with 21mb of JavaScript?

This is a failure of their software engineering culture. Keep trying the same thing will keep doubling their JS, not halving it. That's the effect of incompetence + LLM reliance.

I wouldn't expect any better from a company that uses nextjs and React for their cli/TUI.


Yeah, culture. I expect most of the web developers at Anthropic are of the generation that considers 21MB of JavaScript a perfectly reasonable way to build a web app.

there is no correct answer for that. One is the difference in size/params. The other is the amount of "rounds" of reasoning generating and reviewing what is generated before the model decides it is good.

MCP was terribly executed by a inexperienced team. The current changes are mostly changing or removing what was initially implemented.

WebMCP isn't MCP (which is great).

WebMCP is much simpler and more useful, I have the impression it might just replace the original.


> I think you're vastly underestimating the surface area of CC.

That is one of the reasons CC code is so low quality. The amount of extra unnecessary code just to implement it using React is by far the worst technical slop decision I've seen made by so called "software engineers" in a long time.


Well, isn't it interesting that it makes your reply a bit awkward too?

Cloudflare is going full vibecoding for at least one year. They are high on AI psychosis.

which proves the point OP is making.
