He describes Anthropic internally: "Every single function on our team codes — our PMs code, our designers code, our EM codes." The sustained cascade suggests this prediction resonates beyond a news cycle. Pairs with Karpathy's "80% agent" and Chollet's "agentic coding = ML" as three insider angles on the same inflection.

Boris Cherny's Fortune interview expanded on his Lenny's appearance. Key metrics: 4% of public GitHub commits now by Claude Code (predicted 20% by year-end), 200% productivity increase at Anthropic. His printing press analogy: scribes became bookbinders. "I have not edited a s...
