"For me personally, it has been 100% for two+ months now, I don't even make small edits by hand,"
"I shipped 22 PRs (pull requests) yesterday and 27 the day before, each one 100% written by Claude."
"100%, I don't write code anymore,"
"Programming always sucked. It was a requisite pain for ~everyone who wanted to manipulate computers into doing useful things, and I'm glad it's over."
Engineers at Anthropic now rely on internal models Claude Code and Opus 4.5 to write production code, with some engineers reporting they have not manually written code for months. Boris Cherny reported that Claude wrote 100% of his recent pull requests and that companywide code is "pretty much 100%" AI-generated. Anthropic leadership predicts AI may handle most software engineering work within six to twelve months, shifting engineers toward editing and oversight. Other researchers, including a pseudonymous OpenAI engineer, report abandoning manual coding entirely. The rise of AI coding tools is driving fundamental change in software development workflows and roles.
