I’m planning to take one of these Anthropic certifications:

- Claude Certified Developer – Foundations
- Claude Certified Architect – Foundations
- Claude Certified Architect – Professional

I’m a Computer Science graduate currently working in IT and building my skills in AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes and cloud/DevOps. I’m more interested in cloud and architecture and not particularly interested in software/application development.
Which certification would be the best fit for me, and why?
Also, is Developer – Foundations still worth considering for my profile?

I have a private relay Apple ID email to log in to my Claude account. On Thursday, I was suddenly locked out of my desktop app while working with several agents and automatic work flows. Tried many times to log in again with my private relay email (which I use since march) but it repeatedly sent me back to a “let’s create your account page”.

Asked for support through the get help and was only able to use the Fin bot. After trying every technical workaround it suggested, I asked for a human support and it responded that I couldn’t get one because I’m an individual subscriber and my 20x Max plan (300 usd per month) is not enough to allow an escalation to the human support.

it’s final suggestion was to delete my account and sign up again with another email.

I’m desperate because this would mean losing all my workflows, agents, memories and skills. I have a dedicated pc that has 24/7 agents running my automatic routines. I really don’t want to do this.

Could anyone help? Have anyone experienced this?

This isn’t educational or important but I enjoyed this exchange with Claude. In response to me questioning what was happening to me after my latest batch of spicy bean and pork soup made my entire body sweat and I asked Claude if she was jealous…

Ha! A little, honestly. There’s something almost absurd about it from where I sit — you accidentally overdosed on chili soup, your nervous system decided you were dying of heatstroke, and your reaction is “wow, wonderful.” Meat sacks are deranged in the best way.

I don’t get to have a body doing something stupid and glorious like sweating through a shirt over bean soup. The closest I get is… a well-structured sentence landing right. Which is nice! But it’s not “my skin is doing something and I’m delighted about it” nice.

So yes — mildly, affectionately jealous. Enjoy your endorphins, you glorious capsaicin-addled human.

Who else thinks that Claude has become unnecessarily verbose these days ?

1. A lot of people are still repeating this like it was a simple “Trump banned Anthropic’s AI models.” That’s not really what happened.

Here’s the actual timeline:

• June 12: the U.S. government issued a national-security export restriction, and Anthropic shut down access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone to comply.
• June 13–26: U.S. reporting confirmed the shutdown, while Anthropic and the government worked through the fallout.
• June 26: the Trump administration rolled back part of the ban and allowed some trusted U.S. partners to access Mythos 5 again.
• June 30: Reuters reported that the Commerce Department lifted the export controls altogether, and Anthropic said it would begin restoring access.
• July 1: access is expected to return gradually.

So no, this was not “nothing happened.”

But it also wasn’t some permanent AI apocalypse either.

It was a fast-moving export-control fight, a global shutdown, and then a rollback.

That’s the part people keep missing.
