@boris and anthropic in general are incredibly hostile to the rest of the development world. They think their shit doesn’t stink.

- cmrdporcupine 1mo agoI think it mostly amounts to getting extremely high on their own supply. Many of us have experienced the sinking feeling of having used an agent to build an entire beautiful castle and then turned around and found themselves lost in its dungeons unaware of how the thing is actually laid out. I actually think they're fully down there in their own code base, product requirements, and the like and ... don't know what's around the bend anymore. And when you have leadership at the top insisting that software engineers will be obsolete any day now, what do you expect? Good solid software engineering requires competent stable and principled leadership hopefully with an obsession on quality and customer excellence. Telling people that their profession is obsolete because robots are taking it over is only going to poison the well. Core engineering at Anthropic seems to have just rotted away.
