A history of Claude’s outages during the last 30 days and a spike of them during the last 6 days
I wonder if we can tell when Claude got an influx of users 🤔

Code Review is the bottleneck now? Always has been
It seems we’re all finding how exhausting this new LLM world can be.
From Martin Fowler, Salvatore Sanfilippo, Simon Willison, Steve Yegge and many more.

Really like the term “Cognitive debt” from Margaret Storey.

Ditto. It’s like a of burst of productivity, but then I start to feel burned out - because even though I’m not coding, I’m still thinking so much about what/how to build that, review the code, test, etc. But I do this in a very compressed period of time and I get tired quickly.
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
I’ve seen Claude Code do similar things recently. When debugging a Django app, it would write a small Python script to inspect specific values of a model/view. It’s hit and miss, but it’s pretty ingenious.
We used to have en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locast, but then the broadcast companies sued it and it was forced to shut down.
First thought that crossed my mind. I imagine they got a boat load of money to come back, but you kinda make that decision before you move somewhere else. If you do so after, it’s because the new place is something so bad, you want to just quit immediately.
I like to tell people: “we’re all just winging it”
On the issue released on July 5, they attributed your work. Is this different than what you originally posted about?
After reading your reasons, it makes sense, but we will miss your content here 😞
Yeah, they always do this. They likely already knew that it wasn’t great. This is what betas are for. Not everything is polished and ready for public release. The only drawback is all the redundant feedback that was sent for this, which could have been used for something else.
I think for Florida, the insurance is extremely expensive due to the hurricanes, so a lot of folk can’t afford it anymore and just have to sell. Not sure about Texas.
I think "context engineering" is going to stick - unlike "prompt engineering" it has an inferred definition that's much closer to the intended meaning, which is to carefully and skillfully construct the right context to get great results from LLMs simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/27/...
When someone tries to vibe code in our legacy code base.
I still remember how confused I was about Twisted reactors and deferreds (first time learning about event loops). Then it clicked and I thought I could use them for everything. Until I realized I was in deferred and callback hell lol

This is genius
Could this be the future of publishing?

> the evidence leans toward the post being real but removed, consistent with Musk's pattern of deleting controversial posts.
Something about the AI noticing that pattern is funny.
This is such a great image to explain this concept.
Watching this #UCLFinal and the last 2 minutes of the Barca-Inter come to mind. This would have been a much more entertaining final with some Barca Flickball (biased take).
I’m dreading this. People say vote with your wallet, and like you, I believe a lot of people are going to choose this and we’re going to be screwed.
I’m about 15hrs into it, and I love it. But I’m debating if I have the willpower to continue lol I have so many notes about every room and puzzle and every little thing, but every time someone online talks about it, I realize that there’s puzzles within the puzzles that I haven’t even noticed lol
Happy birthday!
(How do you keep so much grass from turning into a jungle?)
I love getting a peak at how movies and tv shows are made. Great list of videos that Anil has found about Andor.
It takes you about the same amount of time to read this post as the amount of downtime you’d be allowed per week with 99.999% availability
Apparently before the St. Lawrence Seaway opened when they wanted to get large ships into the Great Lakes they just brought them up the Mississippi and shoved them through the Chicago River
I noticed that today and I thought I was hallucinating. I didn’t even considered trying it out. I just noped out of the console so fast.
