From the authors of "coding is solved": Today, a colleague trying to run Claude Code ran into an issue where it shows the Bun help menu instead [1]. Previously, Claude Code uninstalled itself several times when I used it. [2]

Today I turned no-flicker-mode on and it broke scrolling in tmux

Yeah, this is the only argument for why coding isn't solved I need. If it was, then Anthropic, with their access to infinite money and the best unreleased frontier model, should be able to make the absolute best terminal UI imaginable with the most unbelievable performance, 100% edge case testing, and no bugs ever. Terminal UIs as a concept which have existed for about 50 years now. They should be one of the most well understood things in all of programming.

And yet, here we are.

This is gold!

Those are embarrassing bugs, but they don't prove that LLMs of that time couldn't be effective overall, and they don't mean that the latest LLMs aren't generally very good at coding.

That isn't the premise of the article. Prompting the LLM and walking away (which was clearly done here) isn't yet (or possibly ever) a reality. That includes LLM review. Preventing this would have been trivial: have people smoke test their changes before pushing.

lgtm!

... Oh by the way, did you know that Claude Code is actually a mini game engine? /s
