[BUG] CPU OVERDOSE... Fuck Electron btw...
In version 2.0.75, my laptop fan is trying to achieve liftoff. CPU hits 96°C. This happened after auto-update.
Is auto-update enabled by default?! I normally never enable that, but maybe I accidentally did? Either way—WHY not ask before updating? Oh right, you want those sweet crash reports and telemetry. Break fast, fix fast, ship fast... classic.
But hold on—why are there even bugs in a SIMPLE CLI tool?
Oh. Right. Electron.
You built a terminal app with a full Chromium browser. For a CLI. A. CLI.
Please. Just build something lightweight. I'm begging you.
Anyway, downgraded to 2.0.71:
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s 2.0.71
Works fine now. Well, "fine" = still has the natural Electron overhead of hauling around an entire browser engine for... text output.
Now I'm hunting for alternatives.
