Claude Code 的创造者 Boris Cherney 分享了他如何从在 eBay 上卖宝可梦卡到构建增长最快的开发者工具之一,每天提交 20-30 个拉取请求且无需手写一行代码。
Boris Cherney, creator of Claude Code, shares how he went from selling Pokémon cards on eBay to building one of the fastest-growing developer tools, shipping 20-30 pull requests daily with zero handwritten code.
要点 · TL;DR
Claude Code 现在编写了 Anthropic 80% 的代码,工程师无需手动编辑一行。 Claude Code now writes 80% of code at Anthropic, with engineers editing zero lines manually.
印刷机类比:工程师将变成多学科构建者,而不仅仅是编码者。 The printing press analogy: engineers will become multi-disciplinary builders, not just coders.
安全是首要任务;将 Claude Code 发布到实际环境中有助于改进模型安全性。 Safety is the top priority; releasing Claude Code in the wild helps improve model safety.
核心观点 · Key points
像 Claude Code 这样的 AI 编程智能体现在编写了 Anthropic 80% 的代码,工程师无需手动编辑一行。 AI coding agents like Claude Code now write 80% of code at Anthropic, with engineers editing zero lines manually.
印刷机类比:抄写员变成了作者,市场扩大了;工程师将变成多学科构建者。 The printing press analogy: scribes became authors as the market expanded; engineers will become multi-disciplinary builders.
安全是最重要的优先级;在真实环境中发布 Claude Code 有助于研究和改进模型安全性。 Safety is the most important priority; releasing Claude Code in the wild helps study and improve model safety.
原型设计是关键:快速构建多个版本,测试它们,并根据用户反馈迭代。 Prototyping is key: build many versions quickly, test them, and iterate based on user feedback.
代码审查现在使用 AI 作为第一轮,捕获约 80% 的 bug,人类仍然批准最终更改。 Code review now uses AI as first pass, catching ~80% of bugs, with humans still approving final changes.
通才技能——好奇心、适应性、跨学科思维——比单一语言的深度专业知识更有价值。 Generalist skills—curiosity, adaptability, cross-disciplinary thinking—are more valuable than deep expertise in one language.
反共识 · Contrarian takes
Boris 在 Anthropic 的第一个拉取请求被拒绝,因为他手写代码,没有使用 Claude Code。 Boris's first pull request at Anthropic was rejected because he wrote it by hand, not using Claude Code.
Claude Code 最初只是一个简单的 bash 聊天机器人,并非计划中的产品;它从内部使用中自然成长。 Claude Code started as a simple bash chatbot, not a planned product; it grew organically from internal use.
Anthropic 没有头衔——每个人都是“技术员工”——鼓励跨职能协作。 Anthropic has no titles—everyone is 'Member of Technical Staff'—encouraging cross-functional collaboration.
产品需求文档很少被编写;相反,团队发布原型并根据反馈迭代。 PRDs (product requirement documents) are rarely written; instead, teams ship prototypes and iterate from feedback.
Claude Code 的权限系统使用“瑞士奶酪”模型,具有多层安全措施,而非单一解决方案。 Claude Code's permission system uses a 'Swiss cheese' model with multiple safety layers, not a single solution.
Boris 每天编写 20-30 个拉取请求,无需手写代码,模型引入的 bug 比他手动编写时更少。 Boris writes 20-30 pull requests daily without handwritten code, and the model introduces fewer bugs than he would.
