You're telling me that Anthropic, one of the hottest companies on the planet right now couldn't field four teams of developers to integrate with Discord,
Slack, Telegram, and Teams? AI being such a productivity multiplier, seems like they could just choose to do it all. I mean, mythical man month and all that, but do it three times and have a retrospective and use Claude to refactor the pain points and centralize the learnings.
Apple is a closed ecosystem, multiple users feature is a opposite of that.
For example, it's hard to manage app store purchased Apps if it's easy to switch users in iPad. It's hard to manage iCloud sync when switching, it's also related with privacy.
I believe that employees in Anthropocs use CC to develop CC now.
AI really give much user ability to develop a completed product, but the quality is decreasing. Professional developers will be in demand when the products/features become popular.
First batch of users of new products need to take more responsibility to test the product like a rats in lab
I can’t see how these 1st party products can compete against open source. Why would anyone chose a shit proprietary solution when the free one is better

Looking at the amount of issues, outages and rookie mistakes the employees are making leads me to believe that most of them are below junior level.
If anyone were to re-interview everyone at Anthropic for their own roles with their own interview questions, I would guess that >75% of them would not pass their own interviews.
The only team the would pass them are the Bun team and some other of the recently acquired startups.
You realise that excuse is completely irrelevant? For the outages and the rest of the issues above and even when it goes down you still need to know what exactly is wrong.
Using 'software engineering benchmarks' and 'leaderboards' to mask for those issues in scenarios that require rapid response or urgency doesn't make any sense and even going with that, I would expect less outages but it is in fact the opposite, especially when what we are seeing is that one outage occurrs, another one appears right afterwards almost the next day.
While the whole "Claude Code is just like a game engine" tweet was silly, this comment seems too derisive. I highly doubt engineers at Anthropic are lacking in talent.
Another reason that push to kill subscription is that many users just want software that actually works forever—no subscriptions, no ads. That’s why so many of us prefer one-time purchases. I’m definitely in that camp. I stick to local-first apps because I know they won't get worse over time.
I agree that software without a service model faces a tough market. Sometimes, users just want software that works indefinitely on their phones without subscriptions or ads. That’s why many people are big fans of one-time purchase apps. I’m one of them; I prefer local apps because I know the software won't deteriorate over time.
