Anthropic's Boris Cherny told Sequoia AI Ascent he hasn't personally written a line of code in 2026, delegating 100% to AI since late 2025 and shipping dozens of PRs daily from his phone. He predicts the title 'software engineer' will start disappearing by end of 2026, replaced by 'builder.' Every team member at Claude Code (PMs, designers, finance) now codes. He believes Claude Code itself may be 100 lines of code a year from now.
