i use this every day and a lot of the magic is in the workflow and agent layer -- claude 3.5 can generate a snippet of code for you but it isn't going to open a browser, read api docs, actually make calls to the api, debug, run the code and make sure it builds and works, etc

Anthropic and OpenAI have certainly been working on this behind the scenes, while they try to see how much better they can get models, they will let others pay for the current state until they find it valuable. The shift we are seeing now is already happening, and they are taking an even larger macroscopic approach by creating computer/tool use, along with the context protocol, so that when it's released it will work with almost any IDE and system...
Why wouldn't it? Just give it a shell tool. (Something like claude.vim, perhaps.)
