Claude Code is unusable now

A developer publicly declares they are done using Claude Code after a series of frustrating changes by Anthropic. Key grievances include: Anthropic blocking OpenClaw usage via system prompt keyword detection and billing users differently based on system prompt content, Claude Code refusing to help with general computer tasks (like fixing a Dropbox issue) citing it's only for software engineering, and ongoing lack of clarity around what usage is permitted under the $200/month subscription. The author switches their default CLI alias from Claude Code to OpenAI Codex, citing it as more capable, open source, and backed by a team that communicates transparently. The post also highlights community frustration from developers like Matt Pocco who built a Claude Code course and can't get clear answers on whether their tooling is allowed.
