I think to the extent they are making a speed v quality tradeoff, I think they are making the right call. 10x speed over quality any day for me. Reminds me of: "If brute force doesn't work, you aren't using enough of it." - Isaac Arthur

Everyone is making this tradeoff now. Surely nothing bad could come from it. In the meantime I can’t even continue a Claude Code session I started on desktop on my phone. What’s the point of shipping a billion features of they are all half baked?

the point is VC money

Have you actually used their products? They are janky, full of bugs and barely work half the time. They write 100% of their code with Claude. Some of their engineers apparently burn over 100k worth of tokens per month. It’s not surprising they ship fast at all when the product is actually falling apart at the seams and they just vibe code everything.

The Claude Code TUI app is pretty solid. I use it heavily and I get great results from it. But with the mobile app, Claude Code remote is basically unusable (weird disconnect bugs) and Claude Code cloud has issues as well (UI hides approval confirmations; must reconnect to see them). So yeah, I imagine what you're saying is true. There are at least some major gaps in their QA process. It's ironically a pretty convinc…

I agree with you about the Claude Code TUI. I switched to it weeks after it was released. The browser interface is great for quick chats and talking through ideas/concepts, but not for coding. What I love about the TUI is that it can see all your repos as once so it has the full picture all the time. You can't get that with the web version.

I find it absolutely mindblowing to witness the rate at which Anthropic can ship new features. Only a year ago I couldn't wait to see some sort of Github integration and then it appeared only a week later. Seriously impressive stuff.

I don't find criticism like this particularly compelling. Most products (written by humans) have the same failings. The few that aren't are exceptions to the rule or develop very very slowly and carefully.

It’s a phase, for sure things will turn around in the future once the hype of “oh we can now ship fast” is gone.

fwiw I’ve had this open source browser ui that sits on top of your claude code, gemini and codex and picks up/starts your sessions from any device https://github.com/siteboon/claudecodeui

Everyone is NOT making that tradeoff. Maybe we will be forced into it someday, but my team is leveraging AI to increase the quality of code far beyond what we would have done without it. Some of us are using it to engineer better solutions.

Example: we are putting a lot of energy into removing technical debt, reorganizing the code to remove unneeded abstraction and complexity, and creating missing tests and automation. We're not just burping out new untested and poorly reviewed functionality.

When I ask chatgpt to create a mermaid diagram for me it regularly will add new lines to certain labels that will break the parse. If you then feed the parse error back to it the second version is always correct And it seems to exactly know the problem. There are some other examples where it will almost always get it wrong the first time but right if nudged to correct itself. I wonder what the underlying cause is

I think the problem should be defined as "why does it not loop back the errors from the first attempt so it can fix it on the second attempt" rather than why it fails to produce a fully correct implementation on the first pass.

I tried the periodic table in their examples using sonnet 4.6 on the $20/mo plan. After a few minutes Claude told me it reached the max message length and bailed. I pressed continue and eventually it generated the table, but it wasn't inline, it was a jsx artifact, and I've now hit my daily usage limit.

It wasn't quick but I still found it fast enough. In my case I could even download it as an html file: https://gist.github.com/karussell/289aeb621a71597babd6f97eb2...

edit: claude just confirmed the initial version has a bug and 104-117 are not visible

Chat --> Notebook: Jupyter is so much more functional than slack for communicating real work product!

Next up: exporting or sharing selections from the chat as a document or interactive page. If they allow share with non-subscribers, subscriptions could hockey stick -- particularly if the document/page included prompts necessary to replicate (or modify and adapt).

"Prompt Repetition Improves Non-Reasoning LLMs " - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.14982 What instance of ChatGPT are you doing that with? (Reasoning?)

I don't think it's about repeating the instructions, but rather providing feedback as to why it's not working.

I've noticed the same thing when creating an agentic loop, if the model outputs a syntax error, just automatically feed it back to the LLM and give it a second chance. It dramatically increases the success rate.
