Post #567657

tl;dr: Please make positive noise in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/30640 #Anthropic 's #Claude Code dropped npm support for a native installer — and FreeBSD didn't make the list. Their bot already closed the issue I filed. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22564 #FreeBSD users are thoughtful and may pave a better way for AI use. It's saved me a lot of toil. But If AI tools silently skip our platform, future contributors may draw the conclusion that it's not a platform that matters. Or that it's like Minix/Plan9: for research and full of Better Ways, but niche. And yes, the facts will not align with this, but it simply won't matter. My fuller reasoning and, pace, recognition of impacts both environmental and social are here: https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-02-06-the-positive-case-for-ai-assisted-development/ Let's not hi-hat a future. #ai #programming #foss #bsd
