Might the creator of Claude Code have some … incentives … to develop like that, or at least claim that he does?

As someone who frequently uses Claude Code, I cannot say that a year's worth of features/improvements have been added in the last month. It bears repeating: if AI is truly a 10x force multiplier, you should expect to see a ~year's worth of progress in a month.

    Opus 4.5 is just a few days over a month old. Boris would have had access to that for a while before its release though.

      Boris is someone that is employed by Anthropic and has a massive stake in them going public, standing to make millions.

      They are by definition a biased source and should not be referenced as such.

        Nobody here claimed that Boris wasn't a biased source.

        I do however think he is not an actively dishonest source. When he says "In the last thirty days, I landed 259 PRs -- 497 commits, 40k lines added, 38k lines removed. Every single line was written by Claude Code + Opus 4.5." I believe he is telling the truth.

        That's what dogfooding your own product looks like!

        I think it might be more about the fact that he has free and unlimited access to Opus =)
