"It also spews garbage into the conversation stream then Claude talks about how it wasn't meant to talk about it, even though it's the one that brought it up."

This reminds me of someone else I hear about a lot these days.

It's frustrating just how terrible claude (the client-side code) is compared to the actual models they're shipping. Simple bugs go unfixed, poor design means the trivial CLI consumes enormous amounts of CPU, and you have goofy, pointless, token-wasting choices like this.

It's not like the client-side involves hard, unsolved problems. A company with their resources should be able to hire an engineering team well-suited to this problem domain.

I think I read in another HN discussion that all of that code is written using Claude Code. Could be a strict dogfood diet to (try to) force themselves to improve their product. Which would be strangely principled (or stupid) in such a competitive market. Like a 3D printer company insisting on 3D-printing its 3D printers.

		It's not crazy if you know that your customers ARE buying your 3D printer to make other 3D printers.

Well what they are doing is vibe coding 80% of the application instead.

To be honest, they don't want Claude code to be really good, they just want it good enough

Claude code & their subscription burns money from them. Its sort of an advertising/lock-in trick.

But I feel as if Anthropic made Claude code literally the best agent harness in the market, then even more would use it with their subscription which could burn a hole in their pocket maybe at a faster rate which can scare them when you consider all training costs and everything else too.

I feel as if they have to maintain a balance to not go bankrupt soon.

The fact of the matter is that Claude code is just a marketing expense/lock-in and in that case, its working as intended.

I would obviously suggest to not have any deep affection of claude code or waiting for its improvements. The AI market isn't sane in the engineering sense. It all boils down to weird financial gimmicks at this point trying to keep the bubble last a little longer, in my opinion.

the last comment about Claude thinking the anti-malware warning was a prompt injection itself, and reassuring the user that it would ignore the anti-malware warning and do what the user wanted regardless, cracked me up lmao
