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?

My guess is that, yes, the software development job market is being massively disrupted, but there are things you can do to come out on top:

* Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops.

* Embrace the increased productivity on offer to ship more products, solo projects, etc

* Be highly selective as far as possible in how you spend your productive time: being uber-effective can mean thinking and planning in longer timescales.

* Set up an awesome personal knowledge management system and agentic assistants

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

> For someone who worked at Reddit, you sure spend a lot of time on HN. It's like leaving Facebook to spend all day on Twitter complaining about social media.

Wow, so spot on it hurts!

Even when I feel this, 90% of any novel thing I'm doing is still old gruntwork, and Claude lets me speed through that and focus all my attention on the interesting 10% (disclaimer: I'm at Anthropic)

Do you think the "deep research" feature that some AI companies have will ever apply to software? For example, I had to update Spring in a Java codebase recently. AI was only able to help mildly to figure out why I was seeing some errors, but that's it.

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.

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 a…

hi! I've been using Claude Code in a very complementary way to my IDE, and one of the reasons we chose the terminal is because you can open it up inside whichever IDE you want!

Can you give some insight into how you chose the reply limit length? It seems to cut off many useful programs that are 80%-90% done and if the limit were just a little higher it would be a source of extraordinary benefit.

If you can reproduce that, would you mind reporting it with /bug?

> Its not AI. It is enhanced autocomplete. There is no intelligence here and Claude 3.7 cannot create anything novel. We as an industry need to get more honest about these things.

Yeah, this sort of "AI" is still nothing more than a glorified “Chinese room” (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Chinese_room).

Thanks for this - exciting launch. Do you have examples of cool applications or demos that the HN crowd should check out?

hi! I've been working on demos where I let Claude Code run for hours at a time on a sandboxed project: https://x.com/ErikSchluntz/status/1894104265817284770 TLDR: asking claude to speed up my code once 1.8x'd perf, but putting it in a loop telling it to make it faster for 2 hours led to a 500x speedup!

I assume you had a comprehensive test suite?

Awesome work, Claude is amazingly good at writing code that is pretty much plug and play. Could you speak at all about potential IDE integrations? An integration into Jetbrains IDEs would be super useful - I imagine being able to highlight a bit of code and having a plugin check the code graph to see dependencies, tests etc that might be affected by a change. Copying and pasting code constantly is starting to seem a…

Part of our vision is that because Claude Code is just in the terminal, you can bring it into any IDE (or server) you want! Obviously that has tradeoffs of not having a full GUI of the IDE though

I much prefer the standalone design to being editor integrated.

Do you think Claude Code is "better", in terms of capabilities and token efficiency, than other tools such as Cline, Cursor, or Aider?

Claude Code is a research preview -- it's more rough, lets you see model errors directly, etc. so it's not as polished as something like Cline. Personally I use all of the above. Engineers here at Anthropic also tend to use Claude Code alongside IDEs like Cursor.
