Anthropic has spent the last year turning Claude into the darling of power coders just as AI usage has exploded across companies, workflows, and entire industries, pushing demand for agentic coding tools to unprecedented levels. In this environment of runaway adoption, a brutal miscalculation on compute and capacity is now blowing Anthropic’s strategy up in public. In a rare, sharply critical video, AI YouTuber Matthew Berman explains how opaque quotas, shifting policies, and confusing restrictions are undermining Anthropic’s once brilliant flywheel and handing OpenAI an effortless PR win. In this post, I summarize his critique, explain why I stopped trusting Anthropic for professional work a while back, and outline why building provider-agnostic agents is the only sane strategy in this unstable industry.

Twenty years ago, I authored my first 4sysops blog post. However, my fascination with IT started much earlier. I can't recall exactly how I came to this realization, but I initially believed that computers were superior learning tools to books and that studying how to use them would give me superpowers. Forgive me, I was just an immature teenager. Although I soon forgot this idea, I was already hooked after the initial lines of my first computer program.
