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…

If you work at a company with well over a hundred employees, you're likely to see at least half of them on windows and devs may get an option of Windows or Mac... and IMO, Windows + WSL + Docker is actually slightly better than the Docker experience on Mac. There's plenty that I really do hate with Windows though. I'd rather run Linux but most corp environments just don't have the tooling for it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How is text editing in it? This is what I hate about terminal coding UIs the most: all the text editing experience - the basic stuff like moving the cursor around, copying, pasting - is just broken.

Both codex and claude allow editing in vi

… or whatever else you set $EDITOR to

Windows laptops suck ass compared to an MBP. Windows desktops are pretty nice, you just need to do a lot of first time setup to remove all of the cruft and make sure you have a local user account etc. But for a typical dev building a desktop every 5 years or so that isn't a big deal.

For developers at non tech fortune 500 companies, I would put money on Windows being the primary workstation os by a lot

i love when these errors bust my long running sessions and render them unusable

Would be nice if they’d add in a simple back off retry mechanism.

They do, and they show you the retires in the UI above the prompt.

Who could predict that writting code "casino style" would yield these results

Why does this keep happening? Is this due to load? Bad code? An update?

It's probably because of bad slop code. Here is a dive into the quality of Claude Code, revealed by the source code leak 2 months ago.

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 started using GPT for coding for the first time this week, and I’m sort of in awe at how well it’s following all of my hooks, skills, and prompts. GPT is so unlazy and deterministic, it’s honestly been so refreshing this week. I cancelled my Claude 20X and replaced it with GPT 20X, no regrets so far.

That said, I feel icky, like I just made a Facebook account in 2026 :(
