I don't use it but I'd like to know even if it's just entertainment value. But I can imgine people who intend to use it learn something from it: redundancy must be part of their strategy like you said.

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...)

Scanning a few. Some are definitely written by AI but most seem genuinely human (or at least, not claude).

Anecdata: I read five and only found one was AI. Your sampling may vary.

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?

Aren't most developers accessing Anthropic's models via vscode/github? It takes seconds to switch to a different model. Today I'm using Gemini.

Completely agree, not to mention it was down for couple of minutes. Who even cares?

This is the kind of abuse that will cause them to just close GitHub issues. Or they'll have to put something in the system prompt to handle this special case where it first checks for existing bugs and just upvotes it, rather than creating a new one.

I'm not too empathic to Anthropic. They did it to themselves by hyping AI and attracting that kind of people.

And it's not like they have been taking care of issues anyway.

There has to be some sort of automation making these issues, to many of them are identical but posted by different people.

Also love how many have the “I searched for issues” checked which is clearly a lie.

Does Claude code make issue reports automatically? (And then how exactly would it be doing that if Anthropic was down when the use of LLM in the report is obvious )

Gives you a good window into a vibe coder's mentality. They do not care about anything except what they want to get done. If something is in the way, they will just try to brute force it until it works, not giving a duck if they are being an inconvenience to others. They're not aware of existing guidelines/conventions/social norms and they couldn't care less.

I am starting to get concerned about how much “move fast break things” has basically become the average person’s mantra in the US. Or at least it feels that way.
