> in windows terminal

This is an aside, but I'm really struck by how many people on HN use Windows (based on repeated mentions I've seen in comments). I've worked for a pretty wide range of companies over the last decade and only one, maybe two companies even had any people that worked on Windows machines. I haven't worked at a company where devs used Windows in 15 years (and even that company eventually switched to linux).

As I've gotten deeper into LLMs/AI roles even Macs have seemed to start having equal share compared to devs running full Linux setups.

Is this just a sign of that a larger and larger portion of HN users are working for large corporations? I honestly can't even remember that last time I saw a serious developer pull out a Windows laptop.

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.

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.

> their own software/APIs are quite buggy

Our org has been attempting to trial Fast Mode on and off but enabling it in Claude Code just says something like "not available with your cloud provider"

It turns out that for all of the matrices on the documentation site, there is a secret "other" set of infrastructure for those who bill Enterprise via AWS Marketplace where certain features like Fast Mode are incompatible when using "aws routing"

Anthropic Support straight up mentioned that Claude Code just doesn't handle this case correctly and erroneously gives you the impression that it's supported against your billing method, and that it's all effectively undocumented.

I suppose this means there are like 5 different AWS methods of use:

- Bedrock (Legacy)

- Bedrock

- Claude for AWS

- Claude via Marketplace

- Anthropic's own "primary infrastructure"

and then roll in other cloud provider variations

On that note, I recall Datadog having coupled billing and infrastructure per cloud (ie; billing via GCP requires using the GCP infra) and was wondering if commenters had any insights into if there is some special requirement/complexity around marketplace billing for cloud providers or if it's just some weird design choice?

google models are still very unreliable at actually calling the tools you want it to call.

This isn't even Code but I noticed last night that my fans spin up in my machine every time I open the settings in the claude web interface. I was trying to check my usage and couldn't figure out why my computer would be spinning fans up, closed it again it stopped, opened again spinning up fans. So even the website is buggy crap.

I've never seen any developers really use a windows terminal before, if you're on windows wouldn't you be using the WSL or whatever if you're doing development?

too bad the only good model in antigravity is opus 4.6 haha

Have you tried out the new fullscreen renderer with /tui ?

You would think that Mythos and Fable would have fixed it all ...

> I do feel like for all their dogfooding of AI coding, their own software/APIs are quite buggy...

Or possibly as a result of.

They forgot to switch from Sonnet to Fable, hence the issues. /jk

Claude code + tmux is SO buggy. Things rendering all over the place.

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.

> The rendering is quite slow, choppy and lines frequently get garbled.

Good to see it's not just me...

Who could predict that writting code "casino style" would yield these results

Currently we have zero information what is causing the issue. And all providers have suffered outages or rate limits.

Can you post some images of lines getting garbled. That sounds like a genuine bug Anthropic might want to look into. I haven't seen that ever.

there's a whole odyssey with their CLI flickering...

Mom!… I think i broke Claude Code!

FWIW Codex TUI is written (in large part) in Rust and is way less buggy, and a lot faster. When I was a regular Claude Code user I'd routinely get bizarre "scroll everything since the beginning of time in one massive flash on every update" bugs ... for months. Like, just there from the time I started using it in June '25 or so until I quit in March.

I prefer it over opencode, which is my other option I use with my Codex sub

Would it not be hysterically funny, if they starting expanding their job openings for Software Developers ? Or they will be too ashamed of calling them that?

On the other hand, my last experience with gemini was like "don't give your sandwich to the dog again" whereas with opus it was more "let's debug why this uncrustables factory is having breakdowns".

Claude harnesses have plenty of bugs but I prefer capability over interface shininess any day. (though if I were running the show I'd have a sizable team set aside to do exclusively boring stability and polish work)

>Claude Code is especially buggy in windows terminal. The rendering is quite slow, choppy and lines frequently get garbled

That sounds like a you issue.. it's wonderful on the terminal. It's their GUI which needs work (they have been improving, but still not a fan).

I've been using it on multiple computers for months and it's generally rock solid and lovely.
