- simianwords 8mo 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 8mo agowhat about if management gives them a reason? You can think of which those can be.
- kuboble 8mo 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 8mo agoClaude is by far the most popular and best assistant currently available for a developer.
- wavemode 8mo agoOkay, and Windows is by far the most popular desktop operating system. Discussions are pointless when the parties are talking past each other.
- pluralmonad 8mo agoPopular meaning lots of people like it or that it is relatively widespread? Polio used to be popular in the latter way.
- quietsegfault 8mo agoI like windows, it’s fine. I like MacOS better. I like Linux. None of them are garbage or unusable.
- blibble 8mo agohave you used Windows 11? file explorer takes 5 seconds to open
- jama211 8mo agoNo it doesn’t, don’t be hyperbolic.
- quietsegfault 8mo 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 8mo 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.
