Claude code has gone down hill in a really bad way. It is often far too quick to make significant changes, and requires much higher level of hand-holding and explanation than I am used to. r/claudecode on reddit shows a litany of complaints!

I assumed most software eng from the early aughts can all juggle.

I've been a loyal digital ocean customer for years, I switched away from Linode way back when (for reasons I don't even remember.) I'm extremely happy with the DO service, so here's to hoping they don't screw it all up!!

yeah it's because Linode was more expensive and it had some security incidents

That's right. Wow seems like a lifetime ago. Remember Media Temple?? haha.

Back when DO came in and cut all Linode VM prices in half.

when you're deploying to prod it's always friday

read it and have no idea what it does

I think it's an LLM wrapper.

it spies. everything.

It's taken over my life, I am in a leadership position at faang but i'm daydreaming about getting back to my claude sessions at work.

> it's like programming with a couple of buddies. Occasionally they goof off and wreck everything,

Nailed it :)

The sad part is the “buddy hackathon” is kind of redundant now

I think people can do "buddy vibecodeathons" now. :)

It's nice to be able to either just body double [1], or have some other people around to vent to when Claude goes off the rails.

We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless.
