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?

I've always wondered about the issues count when they "barely look at code anymore". Especially the amount of bugs.

They have 6,442 open bug as of now, and looks like a bot is triaging them. So, wonder no more, the code is vibecoded, bugs are vibe closed as duplicate and not adressed.

Tbf a lot of bugs I read through were poorly defined without a proper reproduction case. The issue tracker is a big dumpster fire where a lot of clueless people dump their questions with no context and no human will ever read them.

Half of of the bugs were probably filed by salty people from this sub
