If anthropic‘s reliability becomes a meme, they risk brand death like Microsoft. Go to hand it to them though, they’re really living that “AI writes all of our code and it should write your code too” life.

> they risk brand death like Microsoft

Is Microsoft (one of the largest companies in the world) really a victim of brand death?

The solution is clearly more vibe coding at anthropic. I doubt even the core engineers know how to begin debugging that spaghetti code.

correct proompt is:"you are a senior engineer. fix issues. NO hallucinations this time. PRETTY PLEASE"

You missed: "Simon says:"

No one is going to like this answer, but there’s a simple solution: pay for API tokens and adjust your use of CC so that the actions you have it take are worth the cost of the tokens.

It’s great to buy dollars for a penny, but the guy selling em is going to want to charge a dollar eventually…

If Microsoft is your example of "brand death," Anthropic is dreaming of that kind of wild success and shouldn't care about its brand at all

Did this prompt some reflection on your part?

What, that businesses lie?

It’s like most lifetime warranties. They’re not what they seem to mean colloquially. They have a contractual meaning.

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 somet…

I have a buddy who used to work at Shopify and was proud about having sprints dedicated to removing unused features. This is really underrated but is the only reliable way to prevent bloat. Oh and getting rid of bloat is way more satisfying!

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

I haven't seen anyone claim that applies to infrastructure or compute.

Since apparently LLMs have also conquered physics, “Claude, transmute this lead to gold for me.”
