Claude Code Loses Its Biggest Fan
A developer describes switching from Claude Code to Pi due to growing dissatisfaction with its features.

🔥 What happened
A longtime Claude Code user is ditching it for Pi after a year of accumulated frustrations. Anthropic announced AGENTS.md support one day after he decided to leave – too little, too late.
💡 Why it matters
Claude Code shipped 244 releases this year, over 75% of which changed the system prompt or tool descriptions. The default Bash tool description alone eats nearly 3,000 tokens – trimming 1,000 could save millions in inference costs annually at scale.
⚡ Our take
Anthropic is optimizing for enterprise token burn, not developer sanity. Pi wins not by adding features but by having the discipline to cut them.
