You can tell they’re all vibe coded.

Claude iOS app, Claude on the web (including Claude Code on the web) and Claude Code are some of the buggiest tools I have ever had to use on a daily basis. I’m including monstrosities like Altium and Solidworks and Vivado in the mix - software that actually does real shit constrained by the laws of physics rather than slinging basic JSON and strings around over HTTP.

It’s an utter embarrassment to the field of software engineering that they can’t even beat a single nine of reliability in their consumer facing products and if it wasn’t for the advantage Opus has over other models, they’d be dead in the water.

Even their status page (which are usually gamed) shows two 9s over the past 90 days.

Single nine reliability would be 90% uptime lol. For 99.9% we call it triple 9 reliability.

You're right.

Codex has less but they also had quite a few outages in December. And I don't think Codex is as popular as Claude Code but that could change.
