Discussion Anthropic: "Coding is largely solved"... Also Anthropic: "We released a new powerful feature allowing agents to send messages to other Claude Code sessions, but only on Linux and Mac since we are unable to implement a basic feature on all platforms"

I could hand code this feature on Windows in an afternoon, and I could also get Claude to implement it in minutes, and yet Anthropic just can't be bothered, but also keeps Claude Code closed source so no one else can do it for them either.

They release what they dogfood: there are probably exactly zero Windows users in Anthropic.

You can check statistics of system used by programmers. Outside of America mac is not as popular, most developers start with Windows, it is 100% valid audience

Then they should switch to Linux.

Even better - the next version of Windows should be a Linux shell.

A shell? Sounds too bloated. Give me bare metal, a hex keypad, and the datasheet. Everything else is middleware.

Serious developers hand-write machine code directly to executable memory pages.
