This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?

Build on top of stolen code, no less. HN hates to hear it but LLMs are a huge step back for software freedom because as long as they call it "AI" and as long as politicians don't understand it, it allows companies to launder GPL code and reuse it without credit and without giving users their rights.

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

I'm in the middle of a particularly nasty refactor of some legacy React component code (hasn't been touched in 6 years, old class based pattern, tons of methods, why, oh, why did we do XYZ) at work and have been using Aider for the last few days and have been hitting a wall. I've been digging through Aider's source code on Github to pull out prompts and try to write my own little helper script.

So, perfect timing on this release for me! I decided to install Claude Code and it is making short work of this. I love the interface. I love the personality ("Ruminating", "Schlepping", etc).

Just an all around fantastic job!

(This makes me especially bummed that I really messed up my OA awhile back for you guys. I'll try again in a few months!)

Keep on doing great work. Thank you!

Congrats on the launch! You said its an important tool for you (Claude Code) how does this fit in with Co-Pilot, Cursor, etc. Do you/your teammates only rely on Claude Code? What do you reach for for different tasks?

Claude Code is super popular internally at Anthropic. Most engineers like to use it together with an IDE like Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Xcode, etc. Personally I usually start most coding tasks in Code, then move to an IDE for finishing touches.

Have there been any updates to Claude 3.5 Sonnet pricing? I can't find that anywhere even though Claude 3.7 Sonnet is now at the same price point. I could use 3.5 for a lot more if it's cheaper.

No changes to Claude 3.5 Sonnet pricing despite the new model.

Anthropic is back and cementing its place as the creator of the best coding models—bravo!

With Claude Code, the goal is clearly to take a slice of Cursor and its competitors' market share. I expected this to happen eventually.

The app layer has barely any moat, so any successful app with the potential to generate significant revenue will eventually be absorbed by foundation model companies in their quest for growth and profits.

This is BS and you are not listening and watching carefully.

Even the best LLMs today are just junior devs with a lot of knowledge. They make a lot of the same mistakes junior devs would do. Even the responses, when you point out those mistakes, are the same.

If anything, it's a tool for junior devs to get better and spend more time on the architecture.

Using AI code without fully understanding it (ie operated by a non-programmer) is just recipe for disaster.
