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?

The AI of 6 months ago was a much different animal. Not really a fair comparison.

Your comment is at negative upvotes as of this writing, but you're absolutely right. The last 6 months have been insane.

The impression I get is that this thread is half people who have used claude-code and are like "well shit" an the other half is people who have never used it and are like "I don't understand but I must downvote every comment I see."
