> At the time of writing, there have been 244 releases to Claude Code this year; over 3/4 of these changed the system prompt or tool descriptions.
ooof, that is a lot!
And we're supposed to believe them and start one-shotting our projects...

They're hill climbing by changing their system prompt... That's not how thats done.
They're changing system prompts to control how users use their llms.
For me personally, I don’t use Claude Code because I can’t read the source.
At least with Codex, I know there’s a bunch of telemetry and all that, but I can have my agent inspect the source and have relatively greater confidence it’s not implanting spyware onto my machine, because a classifier thinks I’m working for Deepseek or something.
