We will still need software engineers

Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, replying to the question, if Claude Code is writing 100% of Claude Code now why Anthropic has 100+ open developer positions.

Someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, coordinate with other teams, decide what to build next. Engineering is changing and great engineers are more important than ever.

If you read Boris’ post on how he uses Claude Code, which he says is a vanilla setup, you will realise that there’s a lot of engineering knowledge behind him because of which he is able to effectively use Claude Code.
