alt Hacker NewsLet’s assume their marketing argument is in good faith (it isn’t, they’re just capturing market knowing very well they won’t replace most software dev):
Where did Anthropic say that they want to “end” software development. They make it more efficient, which could lead to less software developer.
How is this “campaigning to end software engineering”? It’s an exaggeration at best, dishonest and sensationalist at worst

If you're selling a product and you're claiming that product will replace something, it's not unreasonable to claim that you want to end that thing.

There's like a trillion more examples you can pick from, as we all know it's been a core part of their marketing.

It is quite literally what they're CEO keeps claiming over and over, it does not get more cut and dry than that.
