Even if you can create infinite software you still have to be very intentional about what you’re choosing to work on.

There’s still a cost to testing, support, planning, etc even if coding is now “free”

Anthropic claims 8-fold productivity increase since 2025. If even that isn't enough to enable support for Linux, I don't know what it is.

I didn't say that they _couldn't_, but it clearly isn't a priority for them. They still have the same opportunity cost any other engineering team faces.

They can work on feature X or feature Y -- which is the better choice?

Apparently they don't think Linux support is significant. I doubt the lack of support is due to technical constraints.

They explicitly did not claim this in the blog post

If only Anthropic had some kind of automated testing, support, planning machine.

You wouldn't run an engineering company with 500 engineers reporting directly to the CEO.

AI doesn't solve this. You need humans who can understand and verify what is being made.

Their whole value proposition is based on the fact that you no longer do.

[id00]

Not, according to their AI influencers

Jack Dorsey wants to prove you wrong!

And there's nothing wrong with that! I doubt they'll succeed with the current generation of tools, though.
