- Starting to look like GitHub, frequently down.

- Hey, just as I was trying it out seriously for the first time.
Wait a minute. Did I bring Claude Code down?
- I've been debloating some of my personal projects — you know how it goes, "keep adding one more thing" driven development.
I asked Claude Code to simplify the code. It spent ten minutes spinning, making countless edits. They all turned out to be superficial. It reduced the code by 3%.
Then I asked the same model (Sonnet) in my web chat UI to do the same thing, and it reduced it by 50% — the program remaining otherwise identical, in terms of appearance and behavior.
I love the agents but they are explicitly designed not to rewrite entire files, and sometimes doing that gives you way, way better results. 15x better, in this case!
(Even better might be to first rewrite it into user stories, instead of incidental implementation details... hmm...)

Anthropic's API is not your only choice for a Claude Code workflow.
- For paying users of Claude Code and other similar services, do you tend to switch to the free tiers of other providers while yours is down? Do you just not use any LLM-based tool in that time? What's your fallback?
- Based on the status page it should be back to operational.
- Anybody who has experience in running infra for ML/AI/Data pipeline systems, are they drastically different from regular infra?

- Bitch, don't kill my vibe

- Comments are kind of embarrassing how many people seem to derive a sense of identity from not using AI. Before LLMs, I didn’t use them to code. Then there were LLMs, and I used them a little to code. Then they got better at code, and now I use them a little more.
Probably 20% of the code I produce is generated by LLMs, but all of the code I produce at this point is sanity checked by them. They’re insanely useful.
Zero of my identity is tied to how much of the code I write involves AI.

- I think you forgot the word "AGAIN" from your title.
Have you seen their status page ? Every single month is littered with yellow and red.
For those of us old-school programmers it makes little difference, only the vibe coders throwing away $200 a month on Claude subs will be the ones crying !
- Should this be “the Claude API is down”, or is there a specific one used (only) by Claude Code?
- I noticed one single API error a few hours ago. Didn't seem to be down for long.
(I prefer the occasional downtime here and there versus Gemini's ridiculous usage limits)

- you are absolutely right
- It's Joever
- Oh no. How will we ever write code without AI!

- By that I’m guessing the API is down since Claude code is just the harness?
- But what will all the vibe coders do then? Trying to use the atrophied brain cells and god forbid try to…brain code?
