alt Hacker NewsI find it absolutely mindblowing to witness the rate at which Anthropic can ship new features. Only a year ago I couldn't wait to see some sort of Github integration and then it appeared only a week later. Seriously impressive stuff.

They also pay... insane salaries, like double industry average. That coupled with an IPO on the horizon means they probably have their pick of engineers.
Meanwhile, you still can't Sign in with Apple on the website.
But you can Sign in with Google.
If you signed up with your Apple on the iOS Claude app, to access your account on the computer, you have to open the passwords app and copy your random email address and paste it into the Claude website login.
Also if you try to copy-paste a prompt from Notes etc into the Claude chat, it gets added as an attachment, so you can't edit the prompt. If you do the four-finger shortcut to paste it as text, it mangles newlines etc.
Why are they so dumb about such basic UX for so long?
They clearly vibe code a lot (most? all?) of their stuff, and it shows. Elementary features are broken regularly and while I appreciate them trying new features, I'd appreciate it more if existing ones were reliable and promptly fixed if broken.
Have you actually used their products? They are janky, full of bugs and barely work half the time.
They write 100% of their code with Claude. Some of their engineers apparently burn over 100k worth of tokens per month.
It’s not surprising they ship fast at all when the product is actually falling apart at the seams and they just vibe code everything.
