Is Claude Code's redesign innovation or ecosystem lock-in? Heavy user worries about cloud-only projects
EightFolding · reddit · 2026-10-09
A heavy non-coder user (14 projects, 31.5B tokens over 120 days) argues Anthropic's new Claude Code features — cloud sessions, JS plugins, redesigned 'projects' with threads/coordinator/shared memory — are shifting work from portable local folders to Anthropic's cloud. Official docs say existing projects 'will be upgraded,' and some users report breakage. He asks whether this is deliberate lock-in and how others keep projects portable.
