Anthropic's new coding tool, Claude Code, encountered serious issues shortly after its launch, primarily due to its faulty auto-update function. This function contained commands that altered access permissions for important system files, causing some users' workstations to become unstable. In the worst scenarios, installations at root access risked 'bricking' systems—rendering them inoperable. Despite these problems, Anthropic responded promptly by removing the buggy commands and providing users with a troubleshooting guide, although there were initial typos in the guidance that have since been corrected.
The launch of Anthropic's coding tool, Claude Code, was marred by issues arising from its auto-update function, which had buggy commands that destabilized workstations.
With the auto-update commands altering critical system file permissions, users faced the risk of their systems becoming unstable or completely inoperable.
Having to use a 'rescue instance' to correct the changes made by Claude Code showcases the severity of the issues encountered by users after installation.
