I do feel like for all their dogfooding of AI coding, their own software/APIs are quite buggy and work against their message. Claude Code is especially buggy in windows terminal. The rendering is quite slow, choppy and lines frequently get garbled. In contrast, using antigravity cli is the exact opposite: fast, smooth and very responsive.

It's not just Windows where the rendering goes to shit immediate: any time I've got it open in tmux on Linux, it becomes a basket case in probably a few hours or less.

How is their "Claude for Government" having such a good uptime? I thought they were a supply chain risk and banned from use by the government?

Ah yes, the ominous “the government” that ignores a whole bunch of different levels and regions of governments.

The errors are infrequent enough that this normally wouldn't be an issue for me.

Except, starting this morning, one very long running session decided to start spawning subagents for each task. I'm not sure what caused this emergent behavior, but it seemed to be working fine, so I was eager to see where it went.

Except, as soon as a subagent hits a 500 error, the main agent seemingly doesn't know what to do. It kind of panics—"now the tree/install state is unknown!"—and ultimately does a git checkout "to verify and restore a known-good state before anything else".

I've paused the job for now since it's a sort of background experiment.

This is every few weeks, I cancelled Anthropic and now use Codex only. Anthropic has been a hot mess since at least december in my usage, and has only gotten worse in 2026.

Claude is broken once a week, codex is worse every day. I’m starting to understand why managers put up with high-performance divas

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or pi.dev - also super fast and simple. Claude Code is sluggish, buggy, slow. Typical big enterprise garbage. The only good thing at Anthropic are the models.

How is text editing in it? This is what I hate about terminal coding UIs the most: all the text editing experience - the basic stuff like moving the cursor around, copying, pasting - is just broken.

Both codex and claude allow editing in vi

It is has a lot of javascript. I was forced to make my own for small projects.

I have my qualms with Anthropic/Claude but they've also had to scale unfathomably fast and that is just hard to do regardless.

Anthropic's and OpenAI's products are janky and their services are unreliable, but they have incredible product-market fit and revenue growth. They deserve a ton of credit for getting the big things right.

The risk for them is that someone matches their products while also having non-janky products and reliable services.

Distributed systems infrastructure, especially, is much less forgiving of vibe coding than application code. Coding agents are not even close to being good enough to design and build large-scale systems the way expert humans can.

There is nothing wrong with using agents to help write infrastructure code, but these systems have a way of punishing anyone who builds things they do not fully understand.

I'd love to see either Anthropic or OpenAI really step up their infrastructure game.
