It’s extremely successful, not sure what it explains other than your biases
- blibble 9mo agoMicrosoft's products are also extremely successful they're also total garbage
- simianwords 9mo agobut they have the advantage of already being a big company. Anthropic is new and there's no reason for people to use it
- Izikiel43 9mo agowhat about if management gives them a reason? You can think of which those can be.
- kuboble 9mo agoThe tool is absolutely fantastic coding assistant. That's why I use it. The amount of non-critical bugs all over the place is at least a magnitude larger than of any software I was using daily ever. Plenty of built in /commands don't work. Sometimes it accepts keystrokes with 1 second delays. It often scrolls hundreds of lines in console after each key stroke Every now and then it crashes completely and is unrecoverable (I once have up and installed a fresh wls) When you ask it question in plan mode it is somewhat of an art to find the answer because after answering the question it will dump the whole current plan (free screens of text) And just in general the technical feeling of the TUI is that of a vibe coded project that got too big to control.
- holoduke 9mo agoClaude is by far the most popular and best assistant currently available for a developer.
- wavemode 9mo agoOkay, and Windows is by far the most popular desktop operating system. Discussions are pointless when the parties are talking past each other.
- pluralmonad 9mo agoPopular meaning lots of people like it or that it is relatively widespread? Polio used to be popular in the latter way.
- quietsegfault 9mo agoI like windows, it’s fine. I like MacOS better. I like Linux. None of them are garbage or unusable.
- blibble 9mo agohave you used Windows 11? file explorer takes 5 seconds to open
- jama211 9mo agoNo it doesn’t, don’t be hyperbolic.
- quietsegfault 9mo agoI have. I use it mostly for gaming, and prefer MacOS after 15+ years on Linux. I have not noticed any delays opening file explorer. It opens instantaneously for me. In fact, I feel like Windows 11 on my main gaming system to be very snappy.

- jama211 9mo agoWell there you have it, proof you’re not being reasonable. Microsoft’s products annoy HN users but they are absolutely not total garbage. They’re highly functional and valuable and if they weren’t they truely wouldn’t be used, they’re just flawed.
- mvdtnz 9mo agoAnthropic has perhaps the most embarrassing status page history I have ever seen. They are famous for downtime. https://status.claude.com/ https://status.claude.com/
- dimgl 9mo agoAnd yet people still use them.
- ronsor 9mo agoAs opposed to other companies which are smart enough not to report outages.
- tavavex 9mo agoSo, there are only two types of companies: ones that have constant downtime, and ones that have constant downtime but hide it, right?
- Sebguer 9mo agoBasically, yes.
- quietsegfault 9mo agoWorking for a major SaaS provider, lol yes.
- Computer0 9mo agoThe competition doesn't currently have all 99's - https://status.openai.com/ https://status.openai.com/
- djeastm 9mo agoThe best way to use Claude's models seems to be some other inference provider (either OpenRouter or directly)
- derwiki 9mo ago
- acedTrex 9mo agoSomething being successful and something being a high quality product with good engineering are two completely different questions.
