Earlier quoted context omitted.

They went from $9b ARR at the end of 2025 to $30b ARR today. That's more than 3x the size in 3 months. I expect growing pains. For some context, they added 2x Palantir or .75x Shopify or .68x Adobe annual revenue in March alone.

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.

I solved this by upgrading Claude Code, closing down all instances, closing my browser, starting claude again, and doing a /login

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.

And then some vibe code reviewing.

Well if we use Claude Code's code quality as a benchmark ...

Yes, an upgraded Claude Code instance telepathically improve Claude back-end servers.

LOL telepathy!

It's actually via quantum entanglement.
