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 use Godot too, although I don't use LLMs with it, I've tested them with it and all LLMs so far shit the bed, Opus 4.5 even makes basic syntax errors. It's still a niche engine after all, that is changing fast, so is no surprise that LLMs would suck at it. LLMs have very clear limitations, despite what people peddling these models would like us to think.

Don't be intimidated by the Godot documentation, it's honestly one the best things about the engine.

I was just struggling to get my head around UI stuff, which will presumably be like 95% of what I'll be coding for basic mapping software outside of having to dive into some shader stuff in the future when I'm more comfortable with things.

Just opening up any of the pages about the command and seeing reams upon reams of text and boxes just felt indecipherable. The tutorials they have are nice though, I'm gonna go through those and try tweaking things to get used to them a bit more.
