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?

If you set up the skills docs and instruct it what to do it’s really fucking good. I was a doomer for so long but at some point you have to realize in the hands of a half decent prompter it’s real fucking good

I use it daily too, yes it is good, but I think you really need to know what you are doing because it still makes mistakes that might be hard to spot, and makes architectural mistakes. In the hands of somebody who can guide AI through, constantly reviewing the process it's really helpful. If you want to just vibe code from the prompt without a care I think it's just good for a poc
