(this tweet sponsored by "noticing that a Claude app notifications thing is still broken 6 or so months after I noticed this and that it has several new variants of brokenness")

(I'm speaking broadly here - of course many individual people there care about quality + would prefer more time between releases to get things right, etc. But there is def. a lot of go fever in some key roles + that influences what actually gets shipped)

And it's kinda futile to complain because what happens everytime I say something like this is that like 5 Ants reach out kindly wanting to help, and they quickly learn that it's a known issue because I reported it to someone else already, but it's too hard to fix

@Miles_Brundage wdym too hard to fix, it’s not like they have decade old legacy software

@xeophon You'd think that, right? But even though it's not old, it is a lot of code they don't all understand + has complex interdependencies (I assume that's what's going on at least)

@Miles_Brundage Oh I have a blog post in mental drafts about just that

@Miles_Brundage Don’t worry, once they release Mythos today they can use it to fix all the bugs

@Miles_Brundage Good product rough edges

@Miles_Brundage Need to make a loop, check for bugs on tweets. Fix them.
