The author argues these claims are misleading or outright false, using Claude Code's own prolonged terminal flickering bug (unresolved for over a year) as evidence that software development remains genuinely hard. The post also highlights mysterious error messages, session leakage reports, and rollbacks as further proof that Anthropic's own product contradicts their bold statements. The author expresses concern that these narratives are causing real harm to developers' mental health and job security. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
