@aral From “Think outside the box!” to “The box will now handle all the thinking for you. Please insert a coin into the box.”

The PrimeTime: I Think They Are Lying To You (YouTube video) is... well... nothing you don't already know, and it's video form, but it showed up in a Slack channel this morning, and it's about Boris Cherny of Anthropic bragging about how he doesn't even prompt Claude any more, he just... something... and code comes out, contrasting that with how long it's taking Anthropic to release fixes to obvious and horrible Claude Code usability issues. So maybe coding is a solved problem, but debugging isn't?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
