I saw a talk by Boris where he said, basically that Claude codes itself now. They have it automatically writing features and reviewing PRs, apparently. I suspect that much of the code has never been seen by human eyes within Anthropic.

What are all their SWEs doing, if Claude is coding itself? And why are there hundreds of open SWE positions on their careers page?

[jp57]

There’s all kinds of stuff there that’s not the Claude Code app.

[maplethorpe]

Why isn't Claude coding that stuff too? Is Claude only good at coding Claude?

[jp57]

IDK. I was just reporting what Boris said. In any case the litany of reports of slop inside Claude Code speaks for itself.

[whateveracct]

lol so they aren't even good at using Claude

These are people that lucked into working at FAANG 10 years ago and been riding the coattails since. Highly incompetent people dictating how we should all work.
