You can't seriously claim points 2) and 3) if you've ever actually paid for and watched cable

I'm in central europe, atm 70 TV channels is $15/month.

I'm in North Texas and get more channels than that OTA.

I still almost always prefer the streaming services I pay for than the linear, ad-supported old TV format.

This is an extremely clunky and buggy prerelease, so don't try to hot fix prod from the toilet without a different mobile frontend. Right now: - You can't interrupt Claude (you press stop and he keeps going!) - At best it stops but just keeps spinning - The UI disconnects intermittently - It disconnects if you switch to other parts of Claude - It can get stuck in plan mode - Introspection is poor - You see XML in the…

If its running a background process then one escape is not enough, need two for message in que to be picked up and adressed.

I have little doubt where things are going, but the irony of the way they communicate versus the quality of their actual product is palpable. Claude Code (the product, not the underlying model) has been one of the buggiest, least polished products I have ever used. And it's not exactly rocket science to begin with. Maybe they should try writing slightly less than 100% of their code with AI?

More generally, Anthropic's reliability track record for a company which claims to have solved coding is astonishingly poor. Just look at their status page - https://status.claude.com/ - multiple severe incidents, every day. And that's to say nothing of the constant stream of bugs for simple behavior in the desktop app, Claude Code, their various IDE integrations, the tools they offer in the API, and so on. Their mod…

I don’t think that’s fair. ChatGPT and Gemini also seem to suffer random outages. They’re dealing with high load on a new type of product.

But it’s also true that Anthropic products are super buggy.

Exactly my experience, I know they vibe code features and that’s fine but it looks like they don’t do proper testing which is surprising to me because all you need bunch of cheap interns to some decent enough testing

> they don’t do proper testing

They bring down production because the version string was changed incorrectly to add an extra date. That would have been picked up in even the most basic testing since the app couldn't even start.

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to testing this, but that seems pretty limiting. My current solution uses Tailscale with Termius on iOS. It's a pretty robust solution so far, except for the actual difficulty of reading/working on a mobile screen. But for the most part, input controls work. My one gripe with Termius is that I can't put text directly into stdin using the default iOS voice-to-text feature baked i…

I've been using email and Cloudeflare email router. You don't get the direct feedback of a terminal, but it's much easier to read what's happening in html formatted email. It also feels kind of nice to just fire off an email and let it do it's thing.

Oooh, now this is a very interesting idea. I live in my inbox and keep it quite tidy. Email is the perfect place to fire-and-forget ideas and then come back to a full response.

Do you have a blog outlining how you set it up? I'm curious to learn more.

Not just the mobile app, but also Claude Code Web is super unreliable.

Frequently chews through lots of expensive Opus tokens, then it just stops with no communication about why or what's next.

No way to tell what it's done, what's remaining to complete.

Only choice is to re-run everything and eat the cost of the wasted time and tokens.

Posted elsewhere but will copy here. Been doing this for a while. - - - get tailscale (free) and join on both devices install tmux get an ios/android terminal (echo / termius) enable "remote login" if on mac (disable on public wifi) mosh/ssh into computer now you can do tmux then claude / codex / w/e on either device and reconnect freely via tmux ls and tmux attach -t - - - You can name tmux and resume by name via tm…

I do this and it is powerful, but I find that not being able to swipe/autocorrect my mobile typing in Termius makes things pretty painful.

Sounds like something that was vibe coded :)

I'm willing to bet most of their libraries are definitely vibe coded. I'm using the claude-agent-sdk and there are quite a few bugs and some weird design decisions. And looking through the actual python code it's definitely not what I would classify 'best practice'. Bunch of imports in functions, switching on strings instead of enums, etc. I had to downgrade to an earlier release because an update introduced a regres…

I think they are betting that any of this code is transient and not worth too much effort because once Opus 5 is traimed, they can just ask it to refactor and fix everything and improve code quality enough so that things don't fall apart while adding more features, and when opus 5.5 comes out it will be able to clean up after opus 5. And so on. They don't expect these codebase to be long lived and worth the time investment.
