Their GitHub issues are wild; random people are posting the same useless "bug reports" over and over multiple times per minute. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues

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...)

No, but they are submitted by the sort of people who will use AI to write the GitHub issue details

The great thing about LLMs being more or less commoditized is switching is so easy.

I use Claude Code via the VS Code extension. When I got a couple of 500 errors just now I simply copy pasted my last instructions into Codex and kept going.

It's pretty rare that switching costs are THAT low in technology!

Definitively some automation involved, no way the typical user of Claude Code (no offense) would by default put so much details into reporting an issue, especially users who don't seem to understand it's Anthropic's backend that is the issue (given the status code) rather than the client/harness.

I've had the $20/month account for OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic for months. Anthropic consistently has more downtime and throws more errors than the other two. Claude (on the web) also has a lot of seemingly false positive errors. It will claim an error occurred but then work normally. I genuinely like Claude the best but its performance does not inspire confidence.

Everybody that uses it knows it is down, what value does this add? No context here either. Posts like these feels so much like a low hanging first-to-post-this for karma grab.

It's like.. Popular service is down, let me post that to hn first! Low effort but can still end up popular.

I dunno. Maybe I'm being overly critical. Thoughts?

To add something to the discussion though: this is a reminder why you should not invest in one tool, claude or otherwise. Also, don't go enhancing one of these agents, ond only one of these agents. beads spent the better part of a medium sized country in energy to create a simple TODO list and got smeared in 10 minutes once claude integrated todos in their client.

Big models are single points of failure. I don't want to rely on those for my business, security, wealth, health and governance.

Why do people have to learn the same lessons over and over again? What makes them forget or blind to the obvious pitfalls?

It’s not a moat, it’s a tiny groove on the sidewalk.

I’ve experienced the same. Even guide markdown files that work well for one model or vendor will work reasonably well for the other.

It’s more about the ensuing discussion.
