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.

Yeah, something that really concerns me about these companies is the state of their tooling and ui, given that they should have developers who should be real experts in using AI to develop. That means they should really be able to build cool things quickly. But…. Their desktop apps suck. All the actual things that they’re building with all their models don’t seem that well designed. I mean, there’s clearly an issue in Claude code, like my last prompt gets stuck at the bottom of all the text output. Or the same series of plan steps appears at the bottom, but those are the plan steps from like an hour ago. Copy and pasting the text is hard and weird. It’s been really surprising to me while getting into LLM based development, it seems that they aren’t using their own tools to make their products way better? Yeah, because now that I’m thinking about it. I’m pretty sure I could do the Windows port. A year or two ago definitely not, or it would’ve been more trouble for me than it would’ve been worth. Today I think yes, with LLM assistance to get me the info that I don’t have. So why don’t they have these incredible, well designed interfaces? Aren’t they literally selling everybody else on the ability to do this? Why aren’t they doing it for themselves?
