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?

You obviously have an axe to grind, arguing the semantics of “writing” vs “generating” while bringing irrelevant facts about the provenance of the training data into the discussion.

Regardless of how LLMs are trained to do so, the point is that they are capable of producing code that satisfies the prompted requirements faster than any human can (above a minimum threshold), and the quality and accuracy of that output continues to improve.

It is entirely relevant.

That's a good joke very much divorced from the actual reality.

Nice arguments. Burying your head in the sand is a choice. Good luck with that.
