> For the past week, the engineering community has been dissecting a [3]thread on X from Boris Cherny, the creator and head of Claude Code at Anthropic. What began as a casual sharing of his personal terminal setup has spiraled into a viral manifesto on the future of software development, with industry insiders calling it a watershed moment for the startup.
>
> "If you're not reading the Claude Code best practices straight from its creator, you're behind as a programmer," wrote Jeff Tang, a prominent voice in the developer community. Kyle McNease, another industry observer, went further, declaring that with Cherny's "game-changing updates," Anthropic is "on fire," potentially facing "their ChatGPT moment."
>
> The excitement stems from a paradox: Cherny's workflow is surprisingly simple, yet it allows a single human to operate with the output capacity of a small engineering department. As one user noted on X after implementing Cherny's setup, the experience "feels more like Starcraft" than traditional coding -- a shift from typing syntax to commanding autonomous units.

Well, it is AI slop from venture beat, what did you expect?

TFA sounds like simple [1]orchestration compared to Co-pilot [github.blog]. At least co-pilot allows [2]your 'team' [visualstudio.com] to have [3]various skills [microsoft.com] as they work cooperatively with each other. In other words, the technology is similar yet co-pilot has a whole API developed.

...a developer agent might use Anthropic Claude, a documentation agent might use Gemini, and a testing agent use Codex, because those LLMs have their specialties that set them apart. Co-pilot manages the team.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL POINTERS
The only problem, though, is getting to that point (Score:3)
See... for that to actually work for you... you already need to be an expert... otherwise you're going to vibecode yourself into a national security incident.

That code as got to be horrific. Even the latest Opus model just adds a ton of Exception catching for general error management, in every language from Python to C#. It's absolutely shit and I can tell when other devs didn't even bother to fix that crab and use generated bullshit in code reviews.

1 Boris, 5 Claudes in terminal, 10 Claudes in Cloud
I wouldn't call the datacenter required to run those Claudes in the Cloud 'less' than say 16 laptops that 16 devs would use.
