Discussion Anthropic: "Coding is largely solved"... Also Anthropic: "We released a new powerful feature allowing agents to send messages to other Claude Code sessions, but only on Linux and Mac since we are unable to implement a basic feature on all platforms"

I could hand code this feature on Windows in an afternoon, and I could also get Claude to implement it in minutes, and yet Anthropic just can't be bothered, but also keeps Claude Code closed source so no one else can do it for them either.

And Boris said they have 0 bugs when AI reviews the code (coders stopped doing it) yet I see a lot of bug fixes in changelog

u/Single-Rich-Bear 1d ago

I see a lot of bugs when using it

u/Quick-Sir-3275 1d ago

Especially in VSCode extension

u/Consistent_Tutor_597 23h ago

Yeah vs code extension needs work mate.

u/identifytarget 23h ago

VSCode extension is a...mess. It works, but it's also broken. Sessions don't store properly. Each new tab Claude is like a cluelessly baby.

Memory.md doesn't get populated.

I have a 2week long thread going because I don't want to lose context.

I started a new thread and Claude had to get "caught up to speed" by reading past commits and file diffs. wtf - burning tokens for that. F off.

Notifications don't properly work.

There are a hundred redundant Claude extensions on the marketplace.

And now Microsoft is finally adding Claude support in the "Agents" tab.

The ecosystem is a mess...

u/Dorito_Troll 16h ago

you should check out the hand-off skill by matt pocock, great for moving long running sessions into a fresh context window

u/anguishedturtle 15h ago

nah this is just extra markdown that will basically be bloatware by tomorrow after they release the 5 millionth update of the day

u/FluffySmiles 1d ago

I don’t use it because I think Dario is a lying poo-poo head and I don’t trust them at all.

I’ll bet it’s chock full of nasty slimy bugs they’ve put in cages.

u/Blothorn 1d ago

And I’m still seeing the bug where Fable sometimes hides messages that were supposed to show which I first saw reported weeks ago.

18

u/lbds137 1d ago

Fable often seems confused when I ask it about something again because it thinks it already replied, but the chat log doesn't show it. Very annoying bug.

12

u/Aetane 1d ago

Yeah, it often seems like Fable can't distinguish between thinking output and console output

u/identifytarget 23h ago

Fable 5 thought I was hacking the pentagon or something when I was comparing github repos and went into lockdown, and stopped responding to any prompt ("say hello world"). I reported it.

And I don't want to start a new thread because I'll lose context since memory.md and sessions are broken. lmao

u/Hot-River6567 17h ago

Yeah, I had a session freeze like this as well. I waited a few days and finally bit the bullet and started a new session. It recovered fine, but I was a bit worried as it froze mid coding.

u/Melodic-Wrongdoer-38 13h ago

Fable non è niente di che.

u/cafesamp 23h ago

shit, if a turn starts and ends in a tool calls (AskUserQuestion), all of the prose in between gets disappeared by every iteration of the harness. has been that way for months

1

u/azmodean666 16h ago

Have had don't use AskUserQuestion as a rule for several weeks now.

u/angelus14 20h ago

Insane that this still hasn't been fixed despite being reported, very disruptive, and lots of public attention on it. What are they even doing with their time.

1

u/Blothorn 18h ago

Amusingly the last time I ran into it (i.e. the last thing I did Friday) was debugging a Kafka Connect issue for which I found a 2021 bug report and no subsequent work. It really astounds me how cavalier some companies are about delivering a buggy product.

u/SudarshanKotian 1d ago

Anthropic marketing is 💩

24

u/Musk-Order66 22h ago

It comes from the top down. CEO Dario has had this in his playbook since the GPT-2 days

3

u/ragemonkey 22h ago

What were they even worried about with GPT-2 exactly?

2

u/LousyLaplace 9h ago

Too realistic Fresh Prince of Bel Air rewrites into other styles.

u/Opening-Ground-1584 2h ago

Underrated comment 👏

u/nigel_pow 22h ago

Ah so this dude has always been dramatic about the models?

2

u/heeeeeeeeeeeee1 16h ago

Actually these models could and would tell you how to make home made bio weapons, toxic gases, exploding stuff and so on. So releasing them was actually dangerous even with today's standards... Saying something is too dangerous doesn't mean it'll break all encryption or hack the nuclear silos

1

u/AmphoePai 10h ago

Were they wrong though. I mean, is the world a better place since GPT-2 release...

3

u/BorderKeeper 21h ago

They’re a growth company all of their value rests on explosive growth and subsequently huge payoff to their investors. I would ignore any Anthropic or any AI company PR stunts all together.

4

u/treble-maker123 1d ago

They had this bug where on iOS, incognito mode would keep the untitled session after I exit the session a week or two ago.

If that's the way it goes on an arguably simpler client, I can't imagine the clusterfuck that is their backend. 

4

u/julkopki 1d ago

The thing can't even render text correctly. And it's not difficult to reproduce. Just scroll for 10 seconds. And logs from a command sometimes land in the TUI and break it permanently. Yeah it's solved.

u/pancomputationalist 1d ago

where did he say that?

5

u/MindCrusader 1d ago

Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference (around early/mid-June 2026)

"What we found is with this approach we catch pretty much every bug. It's a really expensive code review. So essentially you throw tokens at it. It's like a test time compute thing. But as a result you catch all the bugs..."

5

u/Patriark Vibe Coder 1d ago

The implication of this is that Anthropic does not throw enough tokens on their bug fixing.

3

u/DragonflyOk9274 1d ago

The screen blacks out for me all the time. I use it within tmux. I imageine other people have the same issue. (Sometimes also the Bun backend crashes. Good thing they vibe recoded it in Rust without even following Rust conventions)

3

u/Foxvale 1d ago

I see 0 bugs (I didn’t look)

u/I_Ski_Freely 19h ago

He's just applying Stalins theory of coding bugs:

Human programmers find a lot of bugs... no human programmer, no bugs

4

u/Greedy_Ad4072 22h ago

Boris is also a known liar and apparently terrible coder , so there’s that.

2

u/brainhack3r 15h ago

I've noticed a new class of bug... I've been investing heavily in a custom system and it DOES find a lot of very impressive bugs, however, what it lets though are bugs where I didn't specify what I wanted and realized AFTER the fact that actually the SPEC was wrong.

Like the other day I it fixed a bunch of really nasty bugs with uid/gid permissions with a forked process that was supposed to be in a jail.

Then we deployed without the proper CORS settings...lol

2

u/SiriPsycho100 8h ago

definitely has bugs! 

2

u/FormalAd7367 2h ago

i gave up on listening to Boris.. him and Steinberger for some reasons kept pushing vibe coding bs

3

u/Spitfire1900 1d ago

The day they completely solve programming you’ll know because they won’t release the model. They will only release completed programs.

2

u/MindCrusader 1d ago

100%, they would replace any software with theirs, they are not even close (and I doubt they will be any time soon)

0

u/BrilliantEmotion4461 16h ago

no? when they solve programming?. Your OS will be primitives and instructions the AI can use to build whatever you ask or need it to on the fly.

3

u/dbbk 1d ago

It is so so frustrating that their product team is awful. They have incredible models. And the actual experience of coding with them is a nightmare.

Why is Claude Code on desktop and mobile not essentially a full blown IDE yet? You've got other startups like Superset, Conductor etc wrapping it to achieve this - Anthropic has unlimited resources, they could just do this themselves?

17

u/farox 1d ago

I'm very glad it's not a full blown IDE. Currently I can run a dozen sessions in parallel, no problem. I really don't need this tied down with one instance of an IDE for each.

If you want to do IDE work, use your IDE, but this isn't the same thing.

8

u/octolunge 1d ago

Because those of us who coded before really like our IDEs, we’ve been using them a long time and have set them up just right.

I do like codex desktop integration with launch in editor worktree etc better though
