alt Hacker NewsHave 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.

I don't find criticism like this particularly compelling. Most products (written by humans) have the same failings. The few that aren't are exceptions to the rule or develop very very slowly and carefully.
I think to the extent they are making a speed v quality tradeoff, I think they are making the right call. 10x speed over quality any day for me. Reminds me of:

The Claude Code TUI app is pretty solid. I use it heavily and I get great results from it. But with the mobile app, Claude Code remote is basically unusable (weird disconnect bugs) and Claude Code cloud has issues as well (UI hides approval confirmations; must reconnect to see them). So yeah, I imagine what you're saying is true. There are at least some major gaps in their QA process. It's ironically a pretty convincing case to keep humans in the loop. It's honestly shocking to me that those features were actually shipped in their current state. You run into the problems immediately.
