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!

Switching between vim emacs IDEs is way harder than swapping a USB (unless you already know how to use them).

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...)

I consider revealing my file structure and file paths to be PII so naturally seeing people's comfort with putting all that up there makes me queasy.

Most people only have one mouse or Wi-Fi network. If my Wi-Fi goes down, my only other option is to use a mobile hotspot, which is inferior in almost every way.

I've made a feature request there to add another GitHub Actions bot to auto-close issues reporting errors like this when an outage is happening. Would definitely help to cut through the noise.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

You're about a decade+ late to the party, this isn't some movement that happened overnight, it's a slow cultural shift that been happening for quite some time already. Quality and stability used to be valued, judging by what most people and companies put out today, they seem to be focusing on quantity and "seeing what sticks" today instead.

I’m not saying it’s a sudden/brand new thing, I think I’m just really seeing the results of the past decade clearly and frequently. LLM usage philosophies really highlight it.

Using "low cost" and LLM's in the same sentence is kind of funny to me.

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..

Not everyone that interacts with a service is interacting with it directly? How is this a serious question. A thing called API’s exist and if your users rely on it but your not interacting with it directly yourself, seeing this could save you time to investigate an issue. Or you are using it yourself and seeing this post confirms it is not just you having an issue and you can move on with your day. This has nothing t…

I wasn't using it. I was just on hn. And yes, it is the same about all of these services of course, which was my point.

Not sure how "nothing to do with being a large service" and then you bring up Azure and AWS matches though, but fair enough.

Now I know you guys care, so fair game.

Everybody who uses anything knows that it's down So what value does it add saying "X is down" anywhere? It's just for discussion, you can't just ignore it and not talk about it with anyone if a particular service is down and posts like this are pretty common on hn and i haven't seen anyone complaining, it's you being overly critical, yes

Fair enough!
