Claude-Code

Anthropic’s Claude went down twice in under 24 hours this week — and the developer community’s reaction tells a story about something bigger than a couple of bad server days. The second outage hit on March 3, investigation commencing at 03:15 UTC. It followed Monday’s first disruption, which Anthropic attributed to unprecedented demand. Chat, API, and Claude Code were all affected. Developers watched their pipelines stall, their autonomous agents go quiet, and their Claude Code sessions freeze mid-task — again. ...

Running 13 AI agents simultaneously on a single software project sounds like either a research demo or a recipe for chaos. A developer posting on DEV.to this week shows it’s neither — it’s a practical, production-tested workflow that actually ships code, and it’s approachable enough to adapt right now. Here’s the full breakdown of how it works, what tools it uses, and how you can build something similar. The Setup: 13 Agents, One Tmux Window The core architecture is simple at the infrastructure level: 13 Claude Code instances running in tmux panes, each assigned a discrete task. The complexity isn’t in the terminal layout — it’s in the inter-agent communication layer the developer built on top of it. ...

Claude went dark on Monday morning, and for once it wasn’t a minor hiccup. Starting around 11:49 UTC on March 2, 2026, Anthropic’s consumer-facing AI products — Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the mobile app — began reporting widespread failures. Users across North America, Europe, and Asia flooded social media with screenshots of error pages, spinning loaders, and authentication failures. Anthropic’s official response came quickly: the company cited “unprecedented demand over the past week” as the root cause of service degradation. The statement, confirmed by Bloomberg and CNET, framed this as a capacity problem rather than a security incident — but it raised more questions than it answered. ...

If you run Claude Code in production, v2.1.63 is not a routine patch. This release ships a meaningful architectural shift — HTTP hooks — alongside two genuinely useful slash commands and a pile of memory leak fixes that explain why long-running Claude Code sessions sometimes go sideways. The Big One: HTTP Hooks Replace Shell-Based Hooks Previous versions of Claude Code let you hook into the agent lifecycle via shell commands. It worked, but it was clunky: you were spawning subprocesses, dealing with shell escaping, and losing type safety the moment data crossed the boundary. ...

Claude Code v2.1.63 ships a significant change to how you hook into the agent lifecycle: shell-based hooks are out, HTTP webhooks are in. If you’ve been using hooks in your Claude Code pipeline, this guide walks through the migration and shows you why the new pattern is worth the effort. Why HTTP Hooks? The old shell hook model had a fundamental problem: crossing the shell boundary destroyed structure. You serialized data to a string, passed it through a shell command, and parsed it back out on the other side. Every step introduced escaping issues, subprocess overhead, and opportunities for silent failure. ...

The way software gets written is changing faster than most engineering managers have updated their mental models. Anthropic’s reported 2026 agentic coding report — covered this morning by Bitcoin.com and ClubLaura.com — puts numbers to a shift that practitioners have been feeling for months. The headline figure: Claude Code is reportedly writing approximately 135,000 GitHub commits per day. That number deserves unpacking — and a caveat. Transparency note: This story is sourced from secondary journalism coverage (Bitcoin.com, ClubLaura.com). The underlying Anthropic report URL was not independently located at publication time. The 135K commits/day figure is cited in both secondary sources as attributed to Anthropic, but has not been independently verified by this publication. We’re reporting it as Anthropic’s claimed data, not as confirmed fact. ...

MiniMax just opened the floodgates. This morning, the Chinese AI lab officially open-sourced its entire M2 model family — M2, M2.1, and M2.5 — along with the Forge RL training framework that built them. All weights are on HuggingFace. All code is on GitHub. And the models are already designed to drop into the agent workflows you’re likely already using. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know. ...

One of the most frustrating things about working with AI coding assistants has been their goldfish memory. You fix a subtle bug on Monday, explain to the agent exactly why the naive implementation doesn’t work, and by Tuesday you’re explaining it again from scratch. Session starts, context resets, you start over. Anthropic just shipped a fix for that. Claude Code now has auto-memory: it automatically creates and maintains a MEMORY.md file in your project, tracking debugging patterns, project-specific context, and your preferred working methods — across sessions, without any manual setup required. ...

Stop what you’re doing and update Claude Code. Check Point Research disclosed two critical vulnerabilities today — CVE-2025-59536 and CVE-2026-21852 — that can let an attacker execute code on your machine and steal your Anthropic API key simply by having you clone and open a malicious repository. No additional interaction required. No suspicious files to download. Just opening the wrong repo is enough. What Was Disclosed Check Point Research published full technical details on both CVEs affecting Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI-powered coding assistant: ...

Claude Code Remote Control: Control Your Terminal from Your Phone Picture this: you’re in the middle of a deep coding session, your local terminal is humming along, and then you have to step away from your desk. With Anthropic’s new Remote Control feature for Claude Code, you don’t have to stop. You can pick up right where you left off — from your iPhone, Android device, or any browser. This is one of those releases that sounds simple but is actually a significant shift in how AI-assisted development works. Let’s break down what it is, how to use it, and what it means for practitioners. ...
