Replying to @dedene Coding is solved, bugs are not yet solved. Fix incoming tbh this is a good debate to have. Here is what the timeline of the near past/future looks like to me: 1. Models are able to code better than I can tbh this is a good debate to have. It's a like a raspberry ripple of bullshit tbh this is a good debate to have. Here is what the timeline of the near past/future looks like to me: 1. Models are able to code better than I can 2. Models are able to do coding-adjacent engineering work better than I can: debugging, profiling, optimizing, bug fixing, system design, abstraction design, ui design, idea generation, etc. 3. Models are able to do most things that can be done on a computer better than most people For the kinds of coding that I do, Claude has achieved 1 and some (but not all) of 2. It is showing early-ish signs of 3. This is not the case for all coding yet. If you are Anders Hejlsberg and are a world class expert in compilers and type systems, Claude might not be at 1 yet. My bet would be that it gets there quite soon, while at the same time pushing further into 2-3 territory for the rest of us. You can think of model capabilities as capturing the distribution of human ability. I consider myself an average programmer so Claude has already surpassed me, but the same is not yet true for everyone. Back in Nov 2025 I fully stopped writing code by hand, though I continue to code (using agents) every day. That is the point where for me and Tactical: the on-the-ground, day-to-day That an interesting framing. My definitions are: - Coding/programming: the act of writing code - Engineering: everything else in addition to that Tactical/strategic is another reasonable split. I do see some parts of strategic coding being automated, eg. we are starting to automatically maintain our apps at Anthropic, as are a quickly increasing number of customers. That an interesting framing. My definitions are:

We scan every video for X posts on screen, then check the transcript to see if they were read aloud. See everything Theo showed.
Every post with your handle on screen. A profile or post link works too.
Matches the text of one post, even if the handle was cropped out.
A few words you remember. Matches by words and by meaning.

Yes.
Theo showed your posts 6 times and read every one aloud.

Coding is solved, bugs are not yet solved. Fix incoming Update: this was not a bug, but it is a ux issue that we have a fix for. Going out in a bit. But we still cannot hot reload the agent that is supposed to run 24/7. "Coding is solved." But we still cannot hot reload the agent that is supposed to run 24/7. Log sessions 11 and 12 Relaunch to ... v1.32352.0 I am happiest when I code every day
Theo read it aloud at 5:23 Boris's response here is less about the hot reload thing and more about the visible bug in this image, which is why his
