alt Hacker NewsI saw Boris give a live demo today. He had a swarm of Claude agents one shot the most upvoted open issue on Excalidraw while he explained Claude code for about 20 minutes.
No lines of code written by him at all. The agent used Claude for chrome to test the fix in front of us all and it worked. I think he may be right or close to it.
Did he pick Excalidraw as the project to work on, or did the audience?
It's easy to be conned if you're not looking for the sleight of hand. You need to start channelling your inner Randi whenever AI demos are done, there's a lot of money at stake and a lot of money to prep a polished show.
To be honest, even if the audience "picked" that project, it could have been a plant shouting out the project.
I'm not saying they prepped the answer, I'm saying they prepped picking a project it could definitely work on. An AI solvable problem.
