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.

You would think that Mythos and Fable would have fixed it all ...

This isn't even Code but I noticed last night that my fans spin up in my machine every time I open the settings in the claude web interface. I was trying to check my usage and couldn't figure out why my computer would be spinning fans up, closed it again it stopped, opened again spinning up fans. So even the website is buggy crap.

Good to see it's not just me...

> 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've likewise had a lot of variation from big corp to startups in companies in different sectors, and it seems to really depend on the org and what platform their managemetn likes. Windows companies usually offer a choice, but if management likes Apple then it's so common to get forced onto a Mac (and often with a dismissive "nobody wants to use windows" comment which really pisses me off). There's usually a small population using Linux if they can get away with it. When devs are given a truly free choice (with no cultural pressure) between windows, mac, linux, a relatively common split I see is about 40% linux, 40% mac, 20% windows.

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…

> I'd love to see either Anthropic or OpenAI really step up their infrastructure game. 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 ac…

100%. It really depends on the application domain and system complexity.

I see a lot of people speaking about a 10x productivity improvement and so on. When I work on hobby projects, I do see that. Just last weekend, I set up a hobby project that I've been thinking about for a while. I'm pretty sure it would have taken me at least a week to implement manually, but instead, it took me three hours.

But some of the systems I have to work on during the day are so big and complicated that you can spend multiple days on a small feature or even just tracking down a bug, even with the support of Opus.

Expecting even a 2x productivity improvement on some those systems is wildly unrealistic. I'm seeing a lot of people get stressed out because the productivity gains from simple application building trickle into the expectations for these complex systems.

That said, if things keep improving at this rate it might just be a matter of time.

Most of large engineering orgs use niche software built for windows. CAD, CAE, many don’t have Linux or Mac versions. See - solidworks, Siemens simcenter, ansys… to name a few. Engineering orgs have to build infrastructure around this and are forced to choose Microslop

While we're doing anecdotes: I essentially never meet people who own an iPhone, and I've lived (3 months+) in a huge number of countries and cities. The handful people who do are American; bubbles exist :) For a long time, high end graphics and games was mainly done on Windows and Visual Studio. I'm from that world, and only made the Linux transition last year November after Microsoft forced everyone's hand.

Yep. I'm in Boston (USA) and I have literally met perhaps 2 people ever who have an Android phone - and both of them aren't from the US.

I think that your range of companies was much less wide then you think.

> I honestly can't even remember that last time I saw a serious developer pull out a Windows laptop.

What is unserious developer?
