The Future of Coding: Anthropic’s Claude Takes Center Stage

Anthropics’ two-day event, Code with Claude, showcased the future of coding, with almost half of the attendees having shipped a pull request completely written by Claude in the last week.

The event, held in London, highlighted the growing trend of using LLM-powered tools like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex to automate software development.

Anthropic’s goal is to push automation as far as it will go, with Claude checking and correcting its own work, eliminating the need for human intervention.

The company’s latest updates, including Claude 4.6 and 4.7, have made Claude Code a tool that more and more developers are happy to hand their work off to.

As Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, put it, ‘The default isn’t ‘I’m going to prompt Claude’—the default is now ‘I’m going to have Claude prompt itself.”

This new paradigm is setting in fast, with top tech companies boasting of how little code their developers write by hand.

Anthropic’s event demonstrated that the future of coding is already here, and it’s all about letting the machines do the work.
