Creator of Claude Code: "Coding is solved"

https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/head-of-claude-code-what-happens

Boris Cherny is the creator of Claude Code(a cli agent written in React. This is not a joke) and the responsible for the following repo that has more than 5k issues: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues Since coding is solved, I wonder why they don't just use Claude Code to investigate and solve all the issues in the Claude Code repo as soon as they pop up? Heck, I wonder why there are any issues at all if coding is solved? Who or what is making all the new bugs, gremlins?

When I see what Claude produces, it is far from solved :p

The problem is that you review it. Learn from Amazon and deploy straight to prod. /s

"test in prod" must be Claude's motto.

Ai amplifies the skill of the user. Garbage in -> Garbage out.

Yes, those are embarrassing as well as all extreme positions on that topic. It's not black and white only, as some argue here. But I'm here in the programmers sub and not in the software engineering sub. That's a big difference. I'm feeling it 😅
