Yeah, I just had Claude fill out the task list, and then before hitting the end of the task list ask whether I wanted to continue or whether getting some of it done was enough....

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am sorry for my ignorance, but I don’t understand the joke. What does the pope have to do with this?

The Pope is selected by the College of Cardinals. The joke is a play on "cardinality."

also colah was invited by the literal pope to his encyclical https://www.anthropic.com/news/chris-olah-pope-leo-encyclica...

Have fun finding out that the undocumented feature you rely on suddenly stops working.

If software engineering were truly solved, like Anthropic claims, anyone could just vibecode it back. If only they stopped being allergic to the word "open" and open-sourced Claude Code, which, at this point, there is no practical reason not to.

Claude Code’s feature cardinality is breathtaking. At this rate, the next pope will be from Anthropic

sorry to post a shallow comment but this is a really excellent joke holy shit. well done.

I don't believe you deserve the downvotes you're getting. Sometimes a good joke is so good that it appears shallow at first glance, but only upon reflection does the true humor show through. A shallow callout such as yours is sometimes necessary to call the reader back to it for that further reflection.

There are numerous copies of the source available for claude code now that it has been leaked. The vast majority of what makes CC useful is already present, and it's unlikely that any killer features will be added going forward.

So it's already possible for someone to "vibecode it back". It's just perhaps not legal.

Never. Ever. Ever. Tell Claude you have a deadline. It will do this on every task. It will half-ass things to “get it done in time” and argue about whether or not an approach will be done “on time” because it is estimating in human hours.
