They might need to do some vibe refactoring.

  And then some vibe code reviewing.

  2026 may be the year that many companies relearn: there is no problem that can’t be made worse by adding even more code.

  Outages are already happening, besides that, we need vibe warrooming

They went from $9b ARR at the end of 2025 to $30b ARR today. That's more than 3x the size in 3 months. I expect growing pains. For some context, they added 2x Palantir or .75x Shopify or .68x Adobe annual revenue in March alone.

  And they are early adopters of the vibe coding paradigm, having a 100% Claude generated codebase.

    I assume most of their outages is related to this insane scaling and lack of available compute. Vibe coding doesn't automatically mean lower quality. My codebase quality and overall app experience has improved since I started using agents to code. You can leverage AI to test as well as write new code.

      Well if we use Claude Code's code quality as a benchmark ...

      After the CC leak last week I took a look at their codebase and my biggest criticism is they seem to never do refactoring passes. Personally I write something like 80-90% of my code with agents now but after they finish up, it's critical that you spin up another agent to clean up the code that the first one wrote. Looking at their code it's clear they do not do this (or do this enough). Like the main file being something like 4000 LOC with 10 different functions all jammed in the same file. And this sort of pattern is all over the place in the code.

        How do you do the cleanup? Just /simplify or something you rolled yourself?
        _fat_santa 5mo ago
        It's not an automated process (at least in my case). I primarily use Codex so I will do the initial pass with 5.3 or 5.4 xhigh and then cleanup with spark on medium or low. Spark is great for this kind of cleanup work because the feedback loop is so tight compared to just about anything else. It's quite hampered by a very small context window but in the context of cleanup/refactoring that's more of a feature than a bug IMHO. My suggestion for folks that want to do this is make sure you keep reasoning low. The cleanup should be very much human directed and derived from your "taste", at that point you don't want the model to think at all and just blindly do what you tell it to. You want reasoning to be just high enough so it doesn't eff up the code in the process.

  Yeah its huge demand upswing from the growth of openclaw and similar pushing resources. Very clear from recent changes and announcement around this [0] Fwiw there are worse delays from second tier providers like moonshot's kimik2.5 that are also popular for agentic use.

  To be clear, this number will probably end up being reasonably accurate, but it is a pet peeve nonetheless in the startup world how shitty these financial metrics have become. We're three months from the end of 2025. You'd think we'd want to see at least two years of $30 billion dollar revenue earned in each year before we say with any meaningful level of statistical validity that they have $30 billion in "annual recurring" revenue.

  It's also worth keeping in mind that Anthropic's compute needs are nothing like those of a company like Shopify or Adobe, so revenue might not paint accurately enough the picture of what they're dealing with right now.

They've also stopped reporting on the causes too, just "it's resolved" and they move on.
