I do feel like for all their dogfooding of AI coding, their own software/APIs are quite buggy and work against their message. Claude Code is especially buggy in windows terminal. The rendering is quite slow, choppy and lines frequently get garbled. In contrast, using antigravity cli is the exact opposite: fast, smooth and very responsive.

> in windows terminal This is an aside, but I'm really struck by how many people on HN use Windows (based on repeated mentions I've seen in comments). I've worked for a pretty wide range of companies over the last decade and only one, maybe two companies even had any people that worked on Windows machines. I haven't worked at a company where devs used Windows in 15 years (and even that company eventually switched to…

I've been a developer for more than two decades. I've worked at four employers during that time, and all of them had significant fractions of devs using Windows. Not vouching for the idea that any of them are "serious" though. I've never worked at a prestige employer or FAANG or anything. Just boring businesses of different sizes. Some are software, and some just do software. But Windows has always been everywhere.

Claude code + tmux is SO buggy. Things rendering all over the place.

Is this a new regression for others? I feel like I used it in a tmux setup without issues for 6+ months and only recently am I forced to Ctrl+L or resize the window constantly.

I used to work for company where they used to force windows. And it was pure torture. I tried but they told me performance isn't a good reason....

My biggest client right now is about 2/3 Windows 1/3 OS X in the dev team. It was very surprising to me, but I think I freak then out with my maximised tiled iTerms on multiple screens...

I’ve been using Codex w GPT 5.5 more than Claude Code recently. I think Anthropic won the marketing game because Codex is quite good, even better IME.

I'm not sure about that. Claude has some bugs, but Codex is not as polished and doesn't have as many features. For example, you need to add MCP servers manually. There's no Plugin/Skill/Connector marketplace that is accessible from within the app, like there is with Claude Desktop. The Cowork-equivalent is nowhere as powerful. And so on. I still use Codex, but mostly when I need to check Opus 4.8's work. Pretty sure…

i think codex is much better in that aspect. In claude there is skills, connector, capabilities and 4 places for browser... It is too much.

That's interesting - I just fixed my terminals rendering by having Claude build a test harness that used tmux as an oracle, and one of the programs it fixed the rendering of by reading out the tmux pane was Claude Code itself...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or pi.dev - also super fast and simple. Claude Code is sluggish, buggy, slow. Typical big enterprise garbage. The only good thing at Anthropic are the models.

Claude Code is notably better than Pi, although I wish them the best of luck in their efforts. As https://c-daniele.github.io/en/posts/2026-05-18-coding-harne... notes, "Pi's lightness comes from a default setup that does not survive contact with reality." The same post on Claude Code: "Even though the System Prompt and tool descriptions are clearly more verbose, most of the extra tokens encode product features and r…

If only they could add an option to disable features you don't use

FWIW Codex TUI is written (in large part) in Rust and is way less buggy, and a lot faster. When I was a regular Claude Code user I'd routinely get bizarre "scroll everything since the beginning of time in one massive flash on every update" bugs ... for months. Like, just there from the time I started using it in June '25 or so until I quit in March. I prefer it over opencode, which is my other option I use with my Co…

That particular bug seems to be gone. I'm using my own Ruby terminal, and it's more than fast enough for normal stuff, but it made that bug 10x more painful so I am particularly sensitive to it... Not seen it at all recently.
