Maybe I’m overthinking this, but the recent model churn is making me rethink how much of a coding-agent setup should really be tied to one model. Astra shows up, Claude gets pressured, another release is already being discussed, and suddenly whatever was “best” a few weeks ago isn’t obviously best anymore. So I keep coming back to this: maybe the durable part shouldn’t be the model at all. What I actually want to keep is the repo state, tools, permissions, memory, evals, recovery, and task continuity. Then the model is just the intelligence layer I can swap when something better comes along. Today Claude. Tomorrow maybe not Claude. I’m curious how people here think about this: how much of your Claude Code workflow is genuinely Claude-specific, and how much would you want to survive a model swap? submitted by /u/Disastrous-Radio-732
