What landed
@claudeai published a detailed postmortem on three infrastructure bugs affecting Claude from August into early September. The thread promised what happened, why fixes took time, and what would change.
Why it matters
Infra bugs are the adult cousin of slop. Outputs look “off” while everyone argues about alignment, when the real villain is a broken path under the floorboards.
Satire margin
Publishing a postmortem is growth. Needing three bugs in one season is also data. We file both.
