Stuffing agents somewhere they don't belong rather than making the system work better with the agents people already use. Obvious marketing driven cash grab.

I'm not bullish on LLM based agentic coding, but if there was ever a place to put an agent it would be in a centralised provider that has access to your CI, issues and source code. It seems like a perfect fit.


I keep wondering if this is what kills GitHub. Anthropic have done a pretty good job of making Claude work well with GitHub, and it makes all the GitHub agent stuff feel pointless to me. But they keep adding it in more and more places, and I’m guessing most people just keep ignoring it and using Claude.

Would they think it’s worth introducing restrictions to make it harder to use Claude with GitHub in the hopes that it forces us to use their endless collection of agent stuff instead? I think they probably would choose that tradeoff.
