> The hot mess that is Claude Code

And yet it's one of the fastest growing products of all time and is currently the state of the art for AI coding assistants. Yeah it's not perfect but nothing is

I give the model a lot of credit for being very good at a fairly narrow slice of work (basic vibe coding/office stuff) that also happens to be extremely common. I'm harder on Claude Code because of its success and the fact that the company that makes it is worth so much.

"I doubt they have good security chops because they make bad technical choices"

"What bad technical choices?"

"These ones"

"Ok but they're fast-growing, so..."

Does being a fast-growing product mean you have security chops or is this a total non-sequitur?

  • They brought up some performance related edge case that I've never even run into even with extremely heavy usage including building my own agent that wraps around CC and runs several sessions in parallel... So yeah I failed to see the relevance
