Anthropic’s Code with Claude showed off coding’s future—whether you like it or not
Summary
At Anthropic's Code with Claude developer conference, nearly half of attendees reported shipping pull requests (code updates submitted for review) entirely written by Claude, an LLM (large language model, an AI trained on vast amounts of text to generate responses), with many not even reading the code themselves. Anthropic is pushing automation further by having Claude check and correct its own work through self-prompting and a new feature called "dreaming," where Claude agents write notes to themselves to learn from past errors and improve on shared codebases without requiring human developers to review intermediate steps.
