Anthropic executive hasn't hand-coded in 8 months, credits AI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code at Anthropic, revealed he has not written code manually in eight months, with Claude Code itself generating all the software. He likened this shift to Gutenberg's printing press, suggesting it will democratize software creation and significantly increase the number of people capable of coding. Cherny also described managing hundreds of AI agents daily and highlighted Anthropic's dynamic workflows, which enabled a complex codebase migration in six days instead of an estimated year. AI

IMPACT Suggests AI will democratize software development, akin to the printing press, potentially leading to widespread literacy in coding.
