And they are early adopters of the vibe coding paradigm, having a 100% Claude generated codebase.

I assume most of their outages is related to this insane scaling and lack of available compute. Vibe coding doesn't automatically mean lower quality. My codebase quality and overall app experience has improved since I started using agents to code. You can leverage AI to test as well as write new code.

After the CC leak last week I took a look at their codebase and my biggest criticism is they seem to never do refactoring passes.

Personally I write something like 80-90% of my code with agents now but after they finish up, it's critical that you spin up another agent to clean up the code that the first one wrote.

Looking at their code it's clear they do not do this (or do this enough). Like the main file being something like 4000 LOC with 10 different functions all jammed in the same file. And this sort of pattern is all over the place in the code.

Isn't the whole selling point of AI agents that you now can do things like scale 3x without scaling your team accordingly?

I’m a big fan of Rust, but the frontend being written in Rust doesn’t help a ton with backend issues unfortunately.

Maybe, but you can literally feel the difference as you type. When you type in Codex, it's fast, it feels instant. When you type in Claude Code, it feels like playing a game in 60 fps after you already got used to 144 fps.

Mounting evidence that claude max users are put into one big compute fuel pool. Demand increased dramatically with OpenAI's DoD PR snafu (even though Anth was already working with the DoD? But I digress...). The pool hit a ceiling. Anth has no compute left to give. Hence people maxing out after 1 query. "Working on it" means finding a way to distill Claude Code that isn't enough of a quality degradation to be noticed…

Distillation is how they're planning to make money? What a poor strategy. This is next level FOMO (Fear Of Not Being The #1 LLM Provider).

I have cancelled my subscription last week, I'll see them when they fix this nonesense

The trend on the status page[1] does not inspire confidence. Beginning to wonder if this might be a daily thing. [1] https://status.claude.com/

They might need to do some vibe refactoring.

2026 may be the year that many companies relearn: there is no problem that can’t be made worse by adding even more code.
