I am often wrong

    Haven't seen any Claude Code specific examples of Boris admitting he's wrong and then actually fixing things in the way the community wants.

    There are mind blowing bugs in CC that go unaddressed for months.

    Something like 15-20% of all Fable messages in CC are invisible to users. You've most likely noticed this when Claude references something it said but it never said it?

    It happens frequently when Fable outputs a message above a certain number of tokens just before doing a tool call.

    This has been going on for months. If "users can't see messages the agent sends" isn't a critical issue that gets addressed within 24 hours, I don't really care if you admit you're often wrong, we know.

      Anthropic never listens to their customers or community. It's basically their culture at this point.

        We'd gladly fix the bugs in Claude Code in our own forks but they're too ashamed of their AGI level code to make it open source.

        Sorry I meant it's too dangerous to be released.

        That is the culture of any self-respecting startup.

        You can be informed by the community, but the decisions are your own.

          Only gross incompetence can even lead to the point of users telling them what obvious things to fix.

          So what are they respecting themselves for, what do they take pride in? Anything I would care about?
