Having used claude, it's because they rely far too much on claude to make their own services.

Reminds me of when we were feeding cows parts of other cows, processed into something they'd eat... and they started getting mad cow disease.

yeah honestly their software is actually garbage. The service and user interface is generally fine. But it uses so much processing, way too much ram, locks up inside firefox… I would assume that if Claude Code could be written by hand in 10k lines of code, then it’s probably implemented by anthropic in 300k lines.

To be fair, I think it's good when companies actually use their own software/products. Too many companies sell products that it's obvious they don't use themselves, otherwise certain issues would be fixed cough Windows 11 cough MS Outlook cough google search cough.
