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.
Good to hear. Over a slow ssh connection it made me want to tear my hear out
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.
Anthropic's and OpenAI's products are janky and their services are unreliable, but they have incredible product-market fit and revenue growth. They deserve a ton of credit for getting the big things right. The risk for them is that someone matches their products while also having non-janky products and reliable services. Distributed systems infrastructure, especially, is much less forgiving of vibe coding than applic…
It's worth noting that OpenAI's official uptime numbers are significantly better than Anthropic's:
99.9x% for API/Codex, versus I'd obviously like OpenAI's numbers to be higher too, but this is one reason it really annoys me when the head of Claude Code goes on podcasts implying that software engineering as a whole, not just the act of writing out code, is basically solved.
One wonders why hasn't months of presumably near-unlimited internal Mythic solved the issues unrelated to hardware shortages yet.
Resolve elevated errors, don't stop until you are finished.
Who will end up acquiring Anthropic? Google, M$ or Amazon? I leave out Apple as they seem to partner with Google.

> 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…
Maybe hackernews has older crowd. Windows was the defacto developer OS for a very long time.
Even the HN dataset on HuggingFace shows that most engagement on HN is now during non-US hours [0] and drops off as Europe goes to sleep.

Yes but many of the challenges directly contradict the idea that "coding is a solved problem"
Not really. Coding is probably solved, at least to a large extent, but that doesn't mean engineering is solved too. This is like someone saying that the wright brothers solved sustained/powered human flight, and another person saying "well if that's the case, why do planes still crash? obviously flight isn't solved.". Well, there are always improvements, but planes can fly and llm's can code.
They been claiming more than just “coding is solved” for a while now.

Neat. Didn't have a single request go through for 2 hours. Guess they need to improve their metrics before the IPO...

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....
But I do prefer a Linux or Mac for development, just because it's so much less hassle to set up.
Windows developers who don't set up a good terminal environment... I honestly don't know how they manage.
