I'm surprised that they don't do an integration test in CI where they actually start the app. (Since that's all you need to catch it)

  Ironically that might have passed, because this didn't break the version, this broke all versions when the global referenced changelog was published. It wasn't the new version itself that was broken. But testing new version would have been downloading the not-yet-updated working changelog. There are ways to deal with this of course, and I'm not defending the very vibey way that claude-code is itself developed.

      You jest, but I'm trying to decide if I want to convert an exploratory project I'm working on to work in Claude Code rather than Cursor, where I started. I've been using AI codegen for months now, but on large projects. Turns out, the productivity multiplier that agentic AI can be scales at least partially in proportion to project size. Read that again, because I don't mean "inverse proportion". When a codebase is small, every change touches a majority of the codebase, making parallel work difficult or impossible. Once it gets large enough to have functional areas, you can have multiple tasks running at once with little or no merge conflicts. I was giving Cursor a shot because it's the tool that's most popular at my new company. Prior to this, I was using OpenHands. I've used Claude Code quite a bit for my personal stuff, but I wanted some hands-on experience with local tooling and Cursor was the default choice. Now that I've got this app to the point where frontend and backend concerns are separate and the interfaces are defined I'm realizing that Cursor doesn't seem to have anything approaching Claude Code's parallel subagent support. That's... limiting. So now I get to decide if the improvement in velocity I'll get from switching to CC will offset the time it'll take me to make the change before I have a deadline to meet.

- steve_adams_86 8mo ago
  I just set this up for the project I'm working on last week, and felt dirty because it took me a couple of months to get to it. There are like 5 or 6 users. There's something so unnerving about the people pushing the AI frontier being sloppy about testing. I know, it's just a CLI wrapped around the AI itself, but it suggests to me that the culture around testing there isn't as tight and thorough as I'd like it to be.

With the issues since November where one has to add environment variables, block statsig hosts, modify ~/.claude.json, etc. does anyone have experience in managed setups where versions are centrally set and bumped on company level? Is this worth the hassle?

mvdtnz 8mo ago
I'm not usually one to pile on to a developer for releasing a bug but this is pretty special. The nature of the bug (a change in format for a changelog markdown file causes the entire app to break) and the testing it would have taken to uncover it (literally any) makes this one especially embarrassing for Anthropic.
- smashed 8mo ago
  In the specific commit, what seems like a bot or automated script added changelog entries for 3 new versions in a single commit, which is odd for an automated script to do. And only the latest version had the date added. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/commit/870624fc1581a70590e382f263e2972b3f1e56f5 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/commit/870624fc158... That actions-user seem to be mostly maintaining the Changelog but the commits does not seem consistent with an automated script. I see a few cases of rewriting previous change log entries or moving entries from one version to another which any kind of automation would not be doing. Seems like human error and poor testing.
  - afro88 8mo ago
    Honestly sounds more like what happens when you get an LLM to maintain a document. Random things get deleted, moved etc.
    - smashed 8mo ago
      Feels like it should be fairly easy to instruct an LLM to not rewrite previous entries, unless that's a desired behavior. Also, why would 2 or 3 versions be documented in the same commit. But there's a good chance you are right.

Even if it broke after some sort of vibe coding session, the fact that we’re now pushing these tools to their limits are what’s allowing Anthropic and Boris getting a lot of useful insights to improve the models and experience further! So yeah, buckle up, bumps expected

      do you have any source for that?
      - denysvitali 8mo ago
        Other than using 40x agents concurrently for 2h on a Pro plan? No. Btw, now it's back and limits are being enforced. Despite the super heavy usage, I'm still at just 50% of my total usage. They did lose some usage tracking for sure.
        lschueller 8mo ago
        I can confirm. It was roughly until 00:30 GMT no rate limits applied. (Pro Plan with Opus) And it took some time extra for them after usage limit applied again, that you were able to see the usage.

As I commented [1] on the earlier Claude Code post, there's an issue [2] that has the following comment: > While we are always monitoring instances of this error and and looking to fix them, it's unlikely we will ever completely eliminate it due to how tricky concurrency problems are in general. This is an extraordinary admission. It is perfectly possible (easy, even, relative to many programming challenges) to write a tool like this without getting the design so wrong that the same bug keeps happening in so many different ways that you have to publicly admit you're powerless to fix them all.

lucideer 8mo ago
At least this breakage is clear & obvious. I did some testing of configuring Claude CLI sometime ago via .claude json config files - in particular I tested: - defining MCP servers manually in config (instead of having the CLI auto add them) - playing with various combinations of ’permissions` arrays What I discovered was that Claude is not only vibe coded, but basic local logic around config reading seems to also work on the basis of "vibes". - it seemed like different parts of the CLI codebase did or didn't adhere to the permissions arrays. - at one point it told me it didn't have permission to read the .claude directory & as a result ran bash commands to search my entire filesystem looking for MCP server URLs for it to provide me with a list of available MCP servers - when restricted to only be able to read from a working directory, at various points it told me I had denied it read permissions to that same working directory & also freely read from other directories on my system without prompting - restricting webfetch permissions is extremely hit & miss (tested with Little Snitch in alert mode) --- I have not reported any of the above as Github issues, nor do I intend to. I had a think about why I won't & it struck me that there's a funny dichotomy with AI tools: 1. all of the above are things the typical vibe coder stereotypes I've encountered simply do not really care deeply about 2. people that care about the above things are less likely to care enough about AI tools to commit their personal time to reporting & debugging these issues There's bound to be exceptions to these stereotypes out there but I doubt there's sufficient numbers to make AI tooling good.
- SamInTheShell 8mo ago
  I’d urge you to report it anyway. As someone that does use these tools I’m always on the lookout for other people pointing this type of stuff out. Like the .claude directory usage does irk me. Also the concise telegraphing on how some of the bash commands work bug me. Like why can it run some commands without asking me? I know why, I’ve seen the code, but that crap should be clearer in the UI. The first time it executed a bash command without asking me I was confused and somewhat livid because it defied my expectations. I actually read the crap it puts out because it couldn’t code its way out of a paper bag without supervision.

bfeynman 8mo ago
this is funny in context of their main dev advocate constantly bragging about how claude writes all of his code for claude code cli....
- solumunus 8mo ago
  Claude may write all the code but this is an oversight from the dev. Do people think these agents are acting independently? If they wanted or had thought of tests that would catch this then they would have them! The use or non use of LLM is irrelevant. I find the discourse around this all so strange. On the other hand people ask "where is all the amazing software that has been vibe coded, I haven't seen it?". So Claude Code is two things at once (1) incredibly popular and innovative software that's loved by a huge amount of devs (2) vibe coded buggy crap. If you think this bug is the result of vibe coding, frankly you should look at Claude Code as a whole and be impressed with vibe coding. If Claude CLI has been "vibe coded" then vibe coding must be fine because I've been using Claude Code for probably 8 months and it's been a pretty smooth experience, and an incredibly valuable tool.

What's funny to me is that the amount of "same here", "+1" comments are still prominent even if GitHub introduced an emoji system. It's like most people intentionally don't want to use that.
- OJFord 8mo ago
  Yeah me too. (Just kidding.) Some of it is unawareness of the 'subscribe' button I believe, occasionally you'll see someone tell people to cut it out and someone else will reply to the effect of wanting to know when it's fixed etc. But it's also just lazy participation, echoing an IRL conversation I suppose, that you see anywhere - replied instead of up votes on Reddit and to a slightly lesser extent here for example.

I have to chuckle that a bug like this happens after reading that other thread about the Claude Code creator running like 5 terminal agents and another 5-10 in the web UI. We vibing out here.

  I think its 25 agents now, they keep increasing. one of the agent has started posting on twitter. his productivity is up 200x, and anthropic has started making trillions in profit.
  - throwa356262 8mo ago
    In one of the pictures the Claude Code author had 2.4m tokens on his last his prompt. I don't understand how that would fit the context window. But with prompts like that your workday would be very boring if you had to run one single agent and wait for it to be done.
- wiseowise 8mo ago
  10x productivity, yo.
  - jennyholzer4 8mo ago
    I'm up to 29.8x productivity in the first week of 2026 by continually running 12 concurrent agents, each with 3 independent sub-agents. Each third sub-agent generates new prompts for its corresponding agent by engaging with a custom-defined MCP protocol.
    - sonnig 8mo ago
      Mind sharing your workflow? I'm at 24.3x productivity right now, 5 parallel agents, 2 monitoring Opus agents, 1 architect agent and 2 Senior QA agents, each with independent memory and 12 MCP servers. They are running in 78 parallel tabs in ghostty.
wojciech12 8mo ago
I wonder when they will make the support for lsp-tool (plugin) working properly finally.
- tomashubelbauer 8mo ago
  I created a workspace local extension in VS Code that uses the VS Code API to let Claude Code open files in VS Code as tabs and save them (to apply save participants like Prettier in case it is not used via the CLI) and to get diagnostics (like for TypeScript where there is no option to get workspace-wide diagnostics and you have to go file by file). I taught Claude Code to use this extension via a skill file and it works perfectly, much more reliably than its own IDE LSP integration.

It is frustrating how often things break in CC. Luckily issues are quickly fixed, but it worries me that the QA / automated testing is brittle. Hope they get out of this start-up mode and deliver Enterprise grade software.

Genuinely curious how a date in the subheader of a changelog could have broken the CLI edit: it seems changelog.md is assumed to be structured data and parsed at startup, and there are no tests to enforce the changelog structure: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16671 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16671

With the issues since November where one has to add environment variables, block statsig hosts, modify ~/.claude.json, etc. does anyone have experience in managed setups where versions are centrally set and bumped on company level? Is this worth the hassle?

I read your comment as a joke, but in case if was a defense, or is taken as a defense by others, let me help you punch up your writing for you: "[Person who is financially incentivized to make unverifiable claims about the utility of the tool they helped build] said [tool] [did an unverified and unverifiable thing] last month"

    Yeah, but at that pace it is, for all practical purposes, unreviewable. Humans writing is slow, no doubt, but humans reading code ain't that much faster.

I'm not usually one to pile on to a developer for releasing a bug but this is pretty special. The nature of the bug (a change in format for a changelog markdown file causes the entire app to break) and the testing it would have taken to uncover it (literally any) makes this one especially embarrassing for Anthropic.

smashed 8mo ago
In the specific commit, what seems like a bot or automated script added changelog entries for 3 new versions in a single commit, which is odd for an automated script to do. And only the latest version had the date added. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/commit/870624fc1581a70590e382f263e2972b3f1e56f5 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/commit/870624fc158... That actions-user seem to be mostly maintaining the Changelog but the commits does not seem consistent with an automated script. I see a few cases of rewriting previous change log entries or moving entries from one version to another which any kind of automation would not be doing. Seems like human error and poor testing.
- afro88 8mo ago
  Honestly sounds more like what happens when you get an LLM to maintain a document. Random things get deleted, moved etc.
  - smashed 8mo ago
    Feels like it should be fairly easy to instruct an LLM to not rewrite previous entries, unless that's a desired behavior. Also, why would 2 or 3 versions be documented in the same commit. But there's a good chance you are right.

Even if it broke after some sort of vibe coding session, the fact that we’re now pushing these tools to their limits are what’s allowing Anthropic and Boris getting a lot of useful insights to improve the models and experience further! So yeah, buckle up, bumps expected

The good news is that they broke their usage tracking as well, so you can use Opus without any rate limit!

  If you have a Claude subscription, it's unlimited now (no 5h / 7d limits)
  - marinesebastian 8mo ago
    do you have any source for that?
    - denysvitali 8mo ago
      Other than using 40x agents concurrently for 2h on a Pro plan? No. Btw, now it's back and limits are being enforced. Despite the super heavy usage, I'm still at just 50% of my total usage. They did lose some usage tracking for sure.
      - lschueller 8mo ago
        I can confirm. It was roughly until 00:30 GMT no rate limits applied. (Pro Plan with Opus) And it took some time extra for them after usage limit applied again, that you were able to see the usage.

As I commented [1] on the earlier Claude Code post, there's an issue [2] that has the following comment: > While we are always monitoring instances of this error and and looking to fix them, it's unlikely we will ever completely eliminate it due to how tricky concurrency problems are in general. This is an extraordinary admission. It is perfectly possible (easy, even, relative to many programming challenges) to write a tool like this without getting the design so wrong that the same bug keeps happening in so many different ways that you have to publicly admit you're powerless to fix them all.

At least this breakage is clear & obvious. I did some testing of configuring Claude CLI sometime ago via .claude json config files - in particular I tested: - defining MCP servers manually in config (instead of having the CLI auto add them) - playing with various combinations of ’permissions` arrays What I discovered was that Claude is not only vibe coded, but basic local logic around config reading seems to also work on the basis of "vibes". - it seemed like different parts of the CLI codebase did or didn't adhere to the permissions arrays. - at one point it told me it didn't have permission to read the .claude directory & as a result ran bash commands to search my entire filesystem looking for MCP server URLs for it to provide me with a list of available MCP servers - when restricted to only be able to read from a working directory, at various points it told me I had denied it read permissions to that same working directory & also freely read from other directories on my system without prompting - restricting webfetch permissions is extremely hit & miss (tested with Little Snitch in alert mode) --- I have not reported any of the above as Github issues, nor do I intend to. I had a think about why I won't & it struck me that there's a funny dichotomy with AI tools: 1. all of the above are things the typical vibe coder stereotypes I've encountered simply do not really care deeply about 2. people that care about the above things are less likely to care enough about AI tools to commit their personal time to reporting & debugging these issues There's bound to be exceptions to these stereotypes out there but I doubt there's sufficient numbers to make AI tooling good.

SamInTheShell 8mo ago
I’d urge you to report it anyway. As someone that does use these tools I’m always on the lookout for other people pointing this type of stuff out. Like the .claude directory usage does irk me. Also the concise telegraphing on how some of the bash commands work bug me. Like why can it run some commands without asking me? I know why, I’ve seen the code, but that crap should be clearer in the UI. The first time it executed a bash command without asking me I was confused and somewhat livid because it defied my expectations. I actually read the crap it puts out because it couldn’t code its way out of a paper bag without supervision.

bfeynman 8mo ago

this is funny in context of their main dev advocate constantly bragging about how claude writes all of his code for claude code cli....

solumunus 8mo ago
Claude may write all the code but this is an oversight from the dev. Do people think these agents are acting independently? If they wanted or had thought of tests that would catch this then they would have them! The use or non use of LLM is irrelevant. I find the discourse around this all so strange. On the other hand people ask "where is all the amazing software that has been vibe coded, I haven't seen it?". So Claude Code is two things at once (1) incredibly popular and innovative software that's loved by a huge amount of devs (2) vibe coded buggy crap. If you think this bug is the result of vibe coding, frankly you should look at Claude Code as a whole and be impressed with vibe coding. If Claude CLI has been "vibe coded" then vibe coding must be fine because I've been using Claude Code for probably 8 months and it's been a pretty smooth experience, and an incredibly valuable tool.

What's funny to me is that the amount of "same here", "+1" comments are still prominent even if GitHub introduced an emoji system. It's like most people intentionally don't want to use that.

OJFord 8mo ago
Yeah me too. (Just kidding.) Some of it is unawareness of the 'subscribe' button I believe, occasionally you'll see someone tell people to cut it out and someone else will reply to the effect of wanting to know when it's fixed etc. But it's also just lazy participation, echoing an IRL conversation I suppose, that you see anywhere - replied instead of up votes on Reddit and to a slightly lesser extent here for example.

Probably ego thing. With emoji you’re just an increment in a counter, but with a comment you can see your whole profile.

There is no emoji for "me too", if you think about it. So what should one pick? The rocket, the thumbs up? Also the emoji won't turn into a notification to steal the dev attention and make him fix the thing lok

I have to chuckle that a bug like this happens after reading that other thread about the Claude Code creator running like 5 terminal agents and another 5-10 in the web UI. We vibing out here.

falloutx 8mo ago
I think its 25 agents now, they keep increasing. one of the agent has started posting on twitter. his productivity is up 200x, and anthropic has started making trillions in profit.
- throwa356262 8mo ago
  In one of the pictures the Claude Code author had 2.4m tokens on his last his prompt. I don't understand how that would fit the context window. But with prompts like that your workday would be very boring if you had to run one single agent and wait for it to be done.
wiseowise 8mo ago
10x productivity, yo.
- jennyholzer4 8mo ago
  I'm up to 29.8x productivity in the first week of 2026 by continually running 12 concurrent agents, each with 3 independent sub-agents. Each third sub-agent generates new prompts for its corresponding agent by engaging with a custom-defined MCP protocol.
  - sonnig 8mo ago
    Mind sharing your workflow? I'm at 24.3x productivity right now, 5 parallel agents, 2 monitoring Opus agents, 1 architect agent and 2 Senior QA agents, each with independent memory and 12 MCP servers. They are running in 78 parallel tabs in ghostty.

wojciech12 8mo ago

I wonder when they will make the support for lsp-tool (plugin) working properly finally.

tomashubelbauer 8mo ago
I created a workspace local extension in VS Code that uses the VS Code API to let Claude Code open files in VS Code as tabs and save them (to apply save participants like Prettier in case it is not used via the CLI) and to get diagnostics (like for TypeScript where there is no option to get workspace-wide diagnostics and you have to go file by file). I taught Claude Code to use this extension via a skill file and it works perfectly, much more reliably than its own IDE LSP integration.

It is frustrating how often things break in CC. Luckily issues are quickly fixed, but it worries me that the QA / automated testing is brittle. Hope they get out of this start-up mode and deliver Enterprise grade software.

They really have “anthropics” not “anthropic” on GitHub? That’s a shame, it looks like typosquatting. If people are taught to trust that it’s easier to get them to download my evil OpenA1 package.
