alt Hacker NewsThe author’s claim that Claude is a multiplier for skill is probably true for now but it also feels like cope inspired by usability issues with Claude. The advice is all good, but none of it is especially clever or impressive or hard to grasp. The multiplier just comes from the fact that anthropic hadn’t taken this essay and several similar ones and incorporated their feedback into the product. This is a pretty shallow most of expertise that anthropic ought to automate in a week.
My complaint with anthropic is actually the opposite. They seem too focused on building this suite of products (because they want lock-in), but they can’t even get the availability and speed on their models in an acceptable state. It really does seem like they’re falling behind google and OpenAI at the moment.
