Anthropic recently restricted access to its Claude Code API by blocking opencode, prompting frustration among users. The author, who has been advocating for Claude Code, views this move as a significant misstep for the company. The restriction raises concerns about user experience and reliability, suggesting that if Anthropic continues down this path, it could drive users away to alternative models rather than back to their service. The author reflects on the implications of this decision, noting that it feels like a slippery slope. Initially, there was an easy workaround for the restriction, but the potential for more stringent measures looms large. The sentiment is clear: if users can’t operate Claude Code in a way that suits their needs, they will seek out other providers. The article captures a growing sense of distrust toward Anthropic, highlighting that blocking opencode is likely just the beginning of a trend that could alienate many in the developer community.
