And it did it really, really fast.
They weren't as impressed as we were.
Coming up, we talk to one of those humans who knows how to write code and contemplate what this all means for people's jobs.
Brian Witten is a computational journalist at the Wall Street Journal.
Brian is one of the people Joanna and Ben showed their code to.
What did you think when Joanna and Ben brought you this code and this little project they've been working on?
What was your reaction?
There were a few bugs.
So if you were to give it a percentage of just going from, like, was it 100% done, 90% done?
How would you give it a grade?
Say 80%, it was pretty close.
80% sounds like a lot.
Still, the process was a lot more efficient.
I asked Brian, the computational journalist, if Claude Code made him worried about his job.
Brian thinks it will have an impact on jobs, but it's unclear exactly what that impact will be.
This is how Boris Cherny at Anthropic is using the tool he created as something to dramatically increase his productivity.
Not only that, Cherney now starts his day by spinning up multiple cloud coding agents at once, effectively creating a small team of robot developers.
He calls this multi-clouding.
