> Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, joins Sequoia partner Lauren Reeder at AI Ascent 2026 to talk about where coding goes from here. He explains why he hasn't written a line of code in 2026, why he now ships dozens of PRs a day from his phone, and why he believes coding is effectively solved — at least for the code he writes.
That explains a lot. I gave up on Claude Code. It's too buggy for me. I could put up with it making a mess when drawing the screen, but often basic commands like /status don't work, and occasionally it looses track of what it's doing so badly you lose the work done in a 5 how window.
Claude Code's major contribution to the profession is as an example of what happens to a product if it is vibe coded for too long without going through tight review by a human.
