Funny observation - it feels like being in the EU I get a much better AI SaaS experience than folks over in the US.

It’s like every other day, the moment US working hours start, AI (in my case I mostly use Anthropic, others may be better) starts dying or at least getting intermittent errors.

In EU working hours there’s rarely any outages.

By the time San Francisco comes online, your day is already done.

This is exactly my experience. It’s like Claude Code had a stroke during lunch, and when I return working it forgot how anything works.

Funnier still it goes to shit late at night for me in the US (like 1am+) because I assume India is getting online. Can't win.

Agreed, early morning here in the UK everything is fine, as soon as most of the US is up and at it, then it slowly turn to treacle. I've been testing z.ai for the past week and it's nowhere near as suceptible, fwiw.

To back up that observation:

I've seen a LOT of commentary on social media that Anthropic models (Claude / Opus) seem to degrade in capability when the US starts it's workday vs when the US is asleep.

Yeah, also the CI queues start to get longer towards the end of the EU day as the Americans start their day.

Funny, my friend told me the same thing happens to Figma.
