Claude’s Load-Bearing Seams
Now that I have the full picture, the load-bearing seams are much clearer. They are not merely incidental details around the edges. They materially change how the entire situation needs to be understood, and that is the smoking gun I should have recognized earlier. That’s on me.

How we made claude.ai 3x faster in two weeks
This August, we made the core user experience of claude.ai and the Claude desktop app about 3x faster in a two-week sprint. Users had been telling us it was slow, and they were right.
