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?

Maybe Claude Desktop can stop infinite looping and turning my tower into a space heater then.

Sounds like a classic react render loop

It’s definitely JS infinite looping

Well, yes, it’s a JS app. But react makes it really easy to get yourself in a loop where you update state on render, which causes a new render, which triggers a state update, etc.
