`uv agent` and `bun agent` in 3....2.....1....

Totally agree

The value for Anthropic / OAI is that they have a strong interest in becoming the "default" agent.

The one that you don't need to install, because it's already provided by your package manager.

I don't think this holds because we're talking about developers who know how to use a package manager, on a piece of software you have to install anyways. The friction of "uv add $other_llm_software" is too low for it to have a real impact.

I think they're more into the extra context they can build for the LLM with ruff/ty.

until "uv add $openai_competitor" mysteriously breaks in odd, difficult to troubleshoot ways.

You fool think they are targeting developers with this purchase?

I don’t think they’re targeting the C suite with it, because they don’t use uv and Microsoft already has Copilot for the “it’s bad but bundled with stuff you’re already paying for” market.

idk, i think it's the other way around. I imagine in 5 years my new laptop setup will look like:

    $ curl 'claude.ai/install?key=abcd123' | bash -e
    $ claude 'finish laptop setup from http://github.com/justjake/Dotfiles'

claude will be the one to install / set up the system, not the other way around. claude was certainly the one who installed `uv` on my current machine.
