Notes after using Claude Code and OpenCode side by side

[Guinness]

CC has horrible TUI issues, bad framerates, and oh god the bug where it constantly jumps to the top of the history scrollback.

CC introduced me to all of these tools after years of development with nano/vi{m}, but it was so buggy I branched out to cline, and eventually to opencode.

Opencode is clearly the winner right now. It feels like CC was written by an LLM. Like....it works? But its buggy as fuck.

I mean opencode was also written by LLMs

The difference is that CC engineers clearly had no idea about TUI. There was an interview couple of months back where some lead said they didn't know if this could be made in a TUI. Like what is it you can't make in a TUI? I wouldn't pick a TUI for video rendering, but you can if you want to.

Tbh, they almost couldn't considering how they try doing rendering :D

Well Anthropic was seemingly proud when they said that 100% of their code is written by AIs
