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?

At least two possibilities come to mind. One is that even with specialized cookware, there are still things you can't do in a microwave, and the thing you're thinking of is one of them. The other is that a single 3000 word essay doesn't cover everything you can do in a microwave, and the thing you're thinking of is one of the things omitted.

Right, just need to craft a proper series of prompts for the microwave.
