I think a lot of non-vibe-coding types also hold similar opinions -- in fact they might dislike Anthropic products even more, given that they (however few they might be) choose not to use them.

You honestly think “Anthropic employees are script kiddies with inflated egos that are high on their own supply” is a reasonable stance?
This seems such an immature take to me, and hard to take serious. Anthropic just a bunch of script kiddies? Really?
I just want you to know that I read over this thread and you are obviously completely right. This sort of incurious, immature stance is something I've seen become the norm on HN over the last few years, particularly when it comes to AI.
Claude Code is a vibe-coded product that doesn't seem to be undergoing regression tests.
It looks like they're running it in the loops then ship whatever looks the coolest.
How is this not "high on own supply"?
Why the insults/hostility? Why call them script-kiddies? Why the inflated egos?
How do you know what testing procedures they use? Do you honestly think they're running some kind of Ralph loop without any testing and just ship whatever looks the coolest? Really ?

They’ve said themselves that Claude code is 100% vibe coded now. That certainly meets the criteria of “script kiddies” and “high on their own supply”. The negative connotations are there on purpose because of the bugs and issues that these products have, something which presumably they wouldn’t have if there was human oversight and acknowledgement that the AI isn’t infallible.

That's not what script kiddies are at all.

That's a big assumption, given that Anthropic is also currently growing by more than 3x per quarter. Maybe the problem is more complicated and we don't know everything, and they're also just simply suffering from growth pains?

Maybe not the script kiddies part, but "high on their own supply" is certainly not unreasonable.
I don’t understand the hostility and insulting tones being reasonable now.
The comment is not at all just saying “their usage of their own AI is causing these issues”, it’s just a lot of hostility, I don’t see the value of these kind of insults.

Seems reasonable to me
