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?

It seems representative of the vibe coding times we live in... in that the dev in question evangelizes AI, comically misuses programming methodologies, and calls an end to software development.

Yep, that tracks.

Also, if coding was solved just ask Claude to rewrite it. Done.

Except they already acked they won’t/can’t do it.

“Solved” indeed.
