This comment seems unnecessarily hostile.

Why? It seems just fine to me. This is what Anthropic needs to do if they want to survive. I'm always looking out for someone to integrate an actually good harness to a good model. Once that happens, I'm jumping ship if Anthropic keeps playing these tricks. It's almost unusable for me now. A simple prompt to merge 3 sub-100-line files with simple node code, on Sonnet 4.6, uses up 20% of my 5 hour quota, on a new/fres…

To be fair, my comment was a bit harsher before the update. The way they handle the development, communication and how they treat customers isn't fine. I've seen some angry people post and comment in manners which truly deserved the label hostile.

The whole product with the infrastructure and Claude Code's code appear to be vibe coded.

I started seeing "not a malware, continuing" in almost every reply since around 2 weeks ago. Maybe you just reintroduced it with some regression? Opus 4.6

That's weird. Would you mind running /feedback and sharing the id here next time you see this? I'd love to debug

Same. Will run it too when I next get it.

I skimmed the issue. No wonder Anthropic closes these tickets out without much action. That’s just a wall of AI garbage. Here’s what I’ve done to mostly fix my usage issues: * Turn on max thinking on every session. It save tokens overall because I’m not correcting it of having it waste energy on dead paths. * keep active sessions active. It seems like caches are expiring after ~5 minutes (especially during peak usage…

Haha. yeah my eyes glazed over immediately on the issue. Absolutely this was someone telling their Claude Code to investigate why they ran out of tokens and open the issue. Good chance it's not real or misdiagnosed. But it gives me some degree of schadenfreude to see it happening to the Claude Code repo.

But they (CC team) confirmed this is the case and intended behaviour, and closed the issue as not planned.

Anthropic can't win in this case. They don't use Claude Code, they get accused that they don't even trust it themselves. They use Claude Code, they get accused the code is shit because it's slop. I think dogfooding is known to be a legitimate approach here.

> Anthropic can't win in this case.

Sure they can. The solution is pretty simple and in your own post. Choose either:

* Make the product good to the point code is no longer slop and shit.

* Stop hyping the quality when it isn’t there.

* Do a hybrid approach. Use their own product but actually have competent humans in the loop to make the code good.

This is not hard. Be honest and humble and that criticism goes away. It’s no one’s fault but Anthropic’s that they hype up their product to more than it can do and use it carelessly to build itself. It’s not a no-win scenario if you’re the one causing your own obviously avoidable problems.

Hey all, Boris from the Claude Code team here. We've been investigating these reports, and a few of the top issues we've found are: 1. Prompt cache misses when using 1M token context window are expensive. Since Claude Code uses a 1 hour prompt cache window for the main agent, if you leave your computer for over an hour then continue a stale session, it's often a full cache miss. To improve this, we have shipped a few…

/loop message ping every 4 minutes

keeps the cache warm while the CC REPL is not active.

The idea is that Claude Code is surprisingly buggy and unrefined for something created by the very tool and processes that are supposed to be replacing us as we speak.

HN sometimes talks about pathological customers who will never be happy. Boris is probably the single best rep in the community, possibly ever. The way your tone and complaints come across reminds me of this. As a paying customer ($5k spend per month in my corporate job), I’d rather anthropic keep doing what they’re doing — innovating and shipping useful stuff at blinding speed — and not index on your feedback. I thi…

When you say “the community”, what exactly are you referring to?

I don't want a nudge. I want a clear RED WARNING with "You've gone away from your computer a bit too long and chatted too much at the coffee machine. You're better off starting a new context!"

I don’t want a scary red message chastising me for not being responsive enough! I often leave CC hanging (or even suspended) and use /resume a lot. I’m okay with that having some negative effect on my token limits. Product design is hard. They can’t please us all. I don’t envy the team considering these trade offs.

Is it that hard though? This kinda smacks of no research on users prior to rolling stuff out.

Where can i learn about concepts like prompt cache misses? I don't have a mental model how that interacts with my context of 1M or 400k tokens... I can cargo cult follow instructions of course but help us understand if you can so we can intelligently adapt our behavior. Thanks.

And why does /clear help things? Doesn't that wipe out the history of that session? Jeez.
