Wasn't it now (end of 2025) that Dario Amodei said Claude (or LLMs in general) would be doing almost all programming work?

This article is my typical experience with LLM coding. Endless correction and handholding, and manual cleanup of subtle mistakes. With no long-term learning from them.

Kinda makes me livid, the amount of false hype coming out of the mouths of the stewards of these investor-subsidized LLM companies.

But they're amazing Google replacements, and learning tools. And once in a blue moon they ace a coding assignment and delight me.

Edit: 90% of coding work by June to September 2025: https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-ceo-ai-90-percent-...

I mean, Claude got 90% there. The author could contribute 10% of work to fix the alignment and have a finished page.
