The C-suite doesn't want us to write code by hand anymore, so I think I'm supposed to just drink tea and collect salary whenever Claude is down.
behnamoh 5 hours ago [-]
I feel ashamed writing code while Claude does it way better than me... I've found my forte is at designing systems and making project-level decisions, something that Claude still doesn't do very well.

They are dogfooding their own tools and causing so much downtime, all in the spirit of "staying a head".

Are they going to extend my subscription time as a result? It ends today, but I was locked out an hour or so ago, and I'm not sure if that was actually due to this outage.
All the vibe coding is clearly not working out too well.
eduardogarza 4 hours ago [-]
Can someone that's worked at one of these big companies honestly explain how it happens that when these guys are down, it's never for like 10-15 mins ... it's always 1-2+ hours? Do they not have mechanisms in place to revert their migrations and deployments? What goes on behind the scenes during these "outages"?
aix1 4 hours ago [-]
Part of it observability bias: longer, more widespread outages are more likely to draw signficant attention. This doesn't mean that there aren't also shorter, smaller-scope outages, it's just that we're much less likely to know about them.
For example, if there's a problem that gets caught at the 1% stage of a staged rollout, we're probably not going to find ourselves discussing it on HN.
jcfrei 4 hours ago [-]
Quick fixes have tendencies to break other stuff and just make matters worse. Better to leave it offline for a little longer, fix the definitive root issue and make sure it comes online nicely. If the issue was just a quirk in a recent deployment then these probably can be reverted easily on the endpoints where they were just deployed (I'm sure they are using staggered roll-outs). These long term downtime things are probably not issues related to a recent release.
Ocerge 2 hours ago [-]
You will run into thundering herd/hotspotting/pre-warmed caching issues when you have to restart. There's generally not an easy to way to switch these sorts of systems on and off, especially a relatively new system that isn't battle-hardened.
I got nothing for the github outages this year though, that seems like incompetence.
mrguyorama 44 minutes ago [-]
Well when the coding agents go down who are they supposed to ask what the problem is?
They should probably buy subscriptions to those Chinese agents.
bartread 4 hours ago [-]
I don't know about down but I use the VS Code extension on a Pro plan (that I'm considering upgrading from) and it's been slower than molasses flowing uphill in winter for me this afternoon. I'm (a) feeling unwell, and (b) up against a deadline, so this is starting to damage my calm.

Same issue. Getting an "internal server error" message
avra 5 hours ago [-]
I was wondering the same. They just updated the status page but it was showing green for a while and I couldn't login.
The issues have been described as login/logout, but I'm not sure that's all that's happening. In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.
I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)

throwaway89201 4 hours ago [-]
I use Big-AGI [1] as selfhosted open source LLM workspace, and it's quite telling that when adding API keys for Anthropic, it presents a note inbetween reading "Experiencing Issues? Check Anthropic status" that it doesn't for any other model provider.

Can people drop a good LocalLlama setup that I can run on M4?
giancarlostoro 4 hours ago [-]
Not sure about LocalLlama, but have you tried LMStudio? If you use Zed it will auto-pickup whatever model you enable on LMStudio. I keep meaning to write a blog post about this for people unaware that you can pair the two pretty easily on a Mac. I mostly use CC but like to test offline models now and then to see how far they've come along.
ridiculous_leke 4 hours ago [-]
I use Ollama to run local models but have never used one with CC. Curious what models work best for people.
giancarlostoro 3 hours ago [-]
I use Zed with its Claude Code integration, and if I wanna use any other LLM I use LMStudio which is nice on the Mac, and hosts the APIs for it, Zed knows which models are available which is a plus.

kush0505 5 hours ago [-]
Experienced same... they logged me out on claude code a few minutes ago. And when I login, it makes me wait >15000ms for the auth (which exceeds their cutoff time), so auth fails!
epolanski 4 hours ago [-]
Slightly ot but I've been using OpenAI's GPT 5.4 on Codex and so far finding it more convincing than Claude with Opus 4.6 at maximum thinking for my use cases.
I'm more interested in helping with design and architecture rather than having it author tons of code.
Keep in mind that OpenAI has a way more generous tier for 20$ than Anthropic's one, and I think you can even use codex for free with the latest models, so give it a shot, you may find it better than you expected and a solid backup to Claude.
pgm8705 4 hours ago [-]
I agree it seems better at complex work. However, I find that it often tries to make ALL work complex. I had a simple bug fix where I knew exactly what the 1-2 line fix was. GPT 5.4 added like 200 LOC and started refactoring the entire function of the app. Was the refactor possibly an improvement? Maybe, but I needed the fix quick so I stopped it and switched to Claude, which did exactly what I was expecting.
