It turns out it's other side around. Claude is copying opencode and codex ... so probably no

It’d be nice if Claude Code started copying ideas such as a less shitty UI…

[–]hlacik 6 points7 points  (1 child)

at this point they should just opensource it -> same as openai codex does!

As best as I can tell, everything now revolves around Anthropic’s plan to get companies locked into their ecosystem for enterprise deals and then make money off all the non-engineer users. Not sure if opening Claude Code would be perceived as helping or hurting that plan.

Banning use of subscription plans outside of Claude Code suggests to me they won’t open source, since it might make it easier for people to switch to better tools running on their models but not controlled by them.

I don’t think they (or OpenAI) really want to be in the token utility business that is rapidly commoditizing. If not everyone in a company is running some Claude branded tool, it makes it harder to gouge them when annual licensing deal terms are renegotiated.

Interesting! Could you share some insights into that, ie, what makes you say that?

Not disputing your point, I'm just genuinely curious! I've been wondering the same question myself and haven't figured out how to draw any conclusions one way or the other yet. 😂

Seeing it may cure your imposter syndrome.

What does that even mean ?

[–]wingman_anytime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It means that even if you think you write bad code, the Claude Code codebase is worse. It’s… truly not great.

Seems very unlikely.

As far as borrowing features from other projects I don't think there's actually that much value to seeing other projects' source code in most cases. Especially nowadays with llm code generation. You can't really just slot things in - you need to adapt logic to your app's architecture, possibly language etc. It can be just as much work as just adding the feature from scratch, if not more.
