Funny observation - it feels like being in the EU I get a much better AI SaaS experience than folks over in the US. It’s like every other day, the moment US working hours start, AI (in my case I mostly use Anthropic, others may be better) starts dying or at least getting intermittent errors. In EU working hours there’s rarely any outages.

Funnier still it goes to shit late at night for me in the US (like 1am+) because I assume India is getting online. Can't win.

Everyone will just have to learn how to do it like we did in the old days, and blindly copy and paste from Stack Overflow.

You can just get the pseudo-LLM experience with this easy python package! https://github.com/drathier/stack-overflow-import

(nit.. please don't actually do this).

Anthropic has by far been the most unreliable provider I've ever seen. Daily incidents, and this one seems to have taken down all their services. Can't even login to the Console.

Maybe they have vibe-coded their own stack!

But less tongue-in-cheek, yeah Anthropic definitely has reliability issues. It might be part of trying to move fast to stay ahead of competitors.

The tongue-in-cheek jokes are kind of obvious, but even without the snark I think it is worth asking why the supposed 100x productivity boost from Claude Code I keep hearing about hasn't actually resulted in reliability improvements, even from developers who presumably have effectively-unlimited token budgets to spend on improving their stack.
