OpenAI and Anthropic are winning coding tools, but Claude still slips on simple agent rules

OpenAI and Anthropic may be winning on coding tools, but guardrails still trip up agents
The post argues that OpenAI and Anthropic are clearly ahead because “everyone uses their coding tools,” but then points to a practical limitation: getting Claude to reliably insert a warning before running a command can still take a long time.
The point is less about raw model quality and more about workflow behavior — even when coding assistants are widely adopted, they may still fail on small but important agent-style constraints that users care about in day-to-day use.
