The Cherny "coding is solved" cascade reached Lenny's Podcast (one of the largest product/engineering podcasts). New details: Cherny hasn't written a single line of code by hand since November. Anthropic reports 200% engineer productivity increase since adoption. Claude Code drives 4% of public GitHub commits with DAU doubling last month.
Counter-intuitive insight: "Underfunding teams while providing unlimited tokens leads to better AI products." Every function at Anthropic codes — PMs, designers, EMs — making "software engineer" a title that "will go away."
