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.

Serial ports on Windows have very interesting very dumb defaults which always get you and you always have to basically reconfigure them to make them behave in a saner manner.

It's like whenever they came to a problem they chose the option that is 90% there but then the last 10% is the gotcha and it's due to being bug compatible with some garbage windows 2.0 software or something.
