More generally, Anthropic's reliability track record for a company which claims to have solved coding is astonishingly poor. Just look at their status page - https://status.claude.com/ - multiple severe incidents, every day. And that's to say nothing of the constant stream of bugs for simple behavior in the desktop app, Claude Code, their various IDE integrations, the tools they offer in the API, and so on.

Their models are so good that they make dealing with the rest all worth it. But if I were a non-research engineer at Anthropic, I wouldn't strut around gloating. I'd hide my head in a paper bag.

I don’t think that’s fair. ChatGPT and Gemini also seem to suffer random outages. They’re dealing with high load on a new type of product.

But it’s also true that Anthropic products are super buggy.

Even when it's operating normal the webapp is constantly crashing.

Mobile app stops working..

It's a pain.

At least right now.
