No big deal for people who know how to do their job.
Unless of course your job is writing an agent that uses an Anthropic model.

#102If this overly impacts you as an "engineer" beyond "oh thats minorly annoying i'll go do it another way" please do some soul searching.

Couldn't have happened to a better Repo, I needed that chuckle.

#104We need an updated XKCD comic where they are sword fighting but instead of “compiling” its “Anthropic is down”.

Wow are these submitted automatically by claude code? I'm not comfortable with the level of details they have (user's anthropic email, full path of the project they were working on, stack traces...)
I think claude code has a /bug command which auto-fills those details in a github report.

Goes to show that nobody reads error messages and it reminds me of this old blogpost:
> A kid knocks on my office door, complaining that he can't login. 'Have you forgotten your password?' I ask, but he insists he hasn't. 'What was the error message?' I ask, and he shrugs his shoulders. I follow him to the IT suite. I watch him type in his user-name and password. A message box opens up, but the kid clicks OK so quickly that I don't have time to read the message. He repeats this process three times, as if the computer will suddenly change its mind and allow him access to the network. On his third attempt I manage to get a glimpse of the message. I reach behind his computer and plug in the Ethernet cable. He can't use a computer.

#110Earlier quoted context omitted.
Which is exactly why these companies are now all focused on building products rather than (or alongside) improving their base models. Claude Code, Cowork, Gemini CLI/Antigravity, Codex - all proprietary and don't allow model swapping (or do with heavy restrictions). As models get more and more commoditized the idea is to enforce lock-in at the app level instead.
FWIW, OpenAI Codex is open source and they help other open source projects like OpenCode to integrate their accounts (not just expensive API), unlike Anthropic who blocked it last month and force people to use their closed source CLI.
The classic commoditize your complements.
