rvz | on: Anthropic Cowork feature creates 10GB VM bundle on macOS without warning
> AI really give much user ability to develop a completed product, but the quality is decreasing. Professional developers will be in demand when the products/features become popular.

Looking at the amount of issues, outages and rookie mistakes the employees are making leads me to believe that most of them are below junior level.

If anyone were to re-interview everyone at Anthropic for their own roles with their own interview questions, I would guess that >75% of them would not pass their own interviews.

The only team the would pass them are the Bun team and some other of the recently acquired startups.

Claude consistently tops the leaderboard in software engineering benchmarks.

You realise that excuse is completely irrelevant? For the outages and the rest of the issues above and even when it goes down you still need to know what exactly is wrong.

Using 'software engineering benchmarks' and 'leaderboards' to mask for those issues in scenarios that require rapid response or urgency doesn't make any sense and even going with that, I would expect less outages but it is in fact the opposite, especially when what we are seeing is that one outage occurrs, another one appears right afterwards almost the next day.

While the whole "Claude Code is just like a game engine" tweet was silly, this comment seems too derisive. I highly doubt engineers at Anthropic are lacking in talent.
