This feels equivalent to saying you're not a real coder if you need a compiler to hold your hand. What, a human coder isn't enough?
Of course we're going to improve tools by building more tools on top of them. That's how we went from punch cards to assembly to high-level languages!
Anthropic isn't selling that, that's the point. Anthropic is selling "coding is solved", worth $1tn.
If they keep hiring developers and LLMs need huge procedural harnesses, then the hypocrisy is open for all to see. And worse for them, it probably means their business model is worth maybe 5-10x what Jetbrains is worth, not $1tn.
