The Anthropic team looks to be eating all the usecases and application layer. I personally know of many figma + AI startups that are going to feel shaken up with this launch.
Anthropic has distribution on their side, their engineers are excellent (I have ran with them across the ggb in the past and they work 12 hours plus a day regularly.)
I think what actually might be slowing them down is the public releases and pr lol, not ideas or execution
- subscribed 6mo ago12+ hours a day regularly? What a toxic workplace :/
- Sol- 6mo agoThey are all very wealthy, or are about to be at the IPO. Seems like a worthwhile tradeoff. And money aside, it is certainly one of the most exciting companies in the world to work for.
- Noumenon72 6mo agoIt's a horseshoe where the worst companies make you work 12 hours and the best companies make you want to work 12 hours.
- namanyayg 6mo agoExactly the engineers I've talked to are all so EXCITED

- H8crilA 6mo agoDidn't know that anyone needed to hear that, but here it is: "hot" companies often have such workdays, especially pre-IPO and with such a fast growth.
- namanyayg 6mo agoYeah exactly, if you're seeing your own stock go up like the Anthropic employees are, it's gonna be hard to not work 12 hours
- adrian_b 6mo ago"Hot" companies with stupid managers often have such workdays. In the case of engineers and programmers, the amount of useful completed "work" has only a very weak correlation with the length of the workdays. Good engineers or programmers will think anyway most of the time about the problems that they must currently solve, regardless whether they are in the office or at home or in any other place, and regardless whether to an external observer they appear to be "working" or they appear to do nothing. Programmers who spend all day typing lines of code into a computer, are more likely to not be competent programmers, because otherwise they would have found ways to automate such activities that require continuous physical involvement, making impossible the allocation of enough time for thinking about the right solution. If whatever they do does not require true thinking, then that is the kind of job that can be done by AI agents.

- wmeredith 6mo ago> their engineers are excellent... they work 12 hours plus a day regularly What? In my experience people who are good at their job can get it done in a reasonable amount of time. Working 12 hours a day is obsession, no competence. There can be overlap, but there is no causation.
- namanyayg 6mo agoAt a company like Anthropic, which is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world, there is more work than anyone can reasonably deal with
- anentropic 6mo agoI thought that's what their product was for /s
- fg137 6mo agoYou can look at the number of github issues on the claude code repo and think about how many hours a day people need to work to address them. Then look at the changelog of Claude Code. They are releasing daily.
- MagicMoonlight 6mo agoAll their outputs are slop, nobody is actually working to address them.
- askonomm 6mo agoTheir engineers are excellent? Have you seen the leaked Claude Code codebase? Juniors write better code than that.
