CLIs, usually they just work better. I was recently using the Chronosphere MCP server and got great results from it. Then one day it just stopped authenticating. My key was still valid but try as I might I could not use the MCP server anymore. So I just said
"Use the Chronosphere key at $ENVVAR and make yourself a CLI that uses the Chronosphere API. All I need you to do is run PromQL queries, whatever that API is"
And it wrote it in 60s and it works perfectly. I get the same results I got from the MCP server except there is less overhead, both in context and in my mind.
I read 1929 and my main takeaway was how unlikely it is for us to have a crash of that magnitude again. The differences between then and now are stark.
First, everybody was buying shares on margin. Everybody. Random lower class households were buyings shares on 10:1 margin. They had door-to-door salesmen pushing shares on uneducated households.
Second, nobody was talking about market cap. The whole world revolved around the share prices but nobody seemed to talk about what a company was worth.
Third, there was no SEC. There were no reporting requirements, no quarterly earnings calls. No rules of any kind.
Fourth, knowing prices was very hard. The current price of a stock was shown on physical signs that had to be updated and during heavy trading they were often many hours behind. Absolutely nobody knew what the price of various stocks was during the heat of the moment.
Fifth, the US economy is much more diversified than it was. Back in 1929 it was basically oil, rail, and banks. RCA was the Nvidia of its day.
We're in the middle of a correction now due to Iran, but I don't see a 1929-style crash happening.
Not allowed? This is easy to find in the Agent SDK docs
"Unless previously approved, Anthropic does not allow third party developers to offer claude.ai login or rate limits for their products, including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK. Please use the API key authentication methods described in this document instead."
We saw this, but thought it was for Agents calling the API directly. Outworked is just a wrapper around your CLI using the existing agents and sub-agents in your Claude Code installation.
It's a great point though and we'll need to read into this more in-depth. Appreciate you raising this.
Right, pretty sure people got their accounts shut down for doing this kinda thing in the early days of OpenClaw before it was renamed and when it supported login. I guess you can take your chances but API is probably the only safe way to use this.
Consumers never pay for stuff on the internet. FB, Insta, TikTok, Google products, Reddit, Snapchat. This is not a new realization that OpenAI is having.
Lmfao. The front page is littered with whining about the craft from people who can’t argue coherently why I should go back to getting yelled at by a linter.
It’s all “I can’t think anymore” or “software bad now” followed by a critique of the industry circa 2015.
Most of the people making cool stuff with LLMs are making it, not writing blog posts hoping to be a thought leader.
This feels perfectly justifiable to me. The subscription plans are super cheap and if they insist you use their tool I understand. Ya'll seem a bit entitled if I'm being honest.
* Models will manage tokens more efficiently
* Agents will manage models more efficiently
* Users will manage agents more efficiently
Why are we acting like technology is on pause?
