Anthropic Engineer Says They Haven't Written Code in Months as AI Agents Take Over

What was said

"This Anthropic engineer was basically saying, like, I come to work, this agent writes the code for me, and I kind of sit and watch and I feel useless."

Bartlett cited a recent report from Anthropic revealing that frontier AI companies are already experiencing dramatic job displacement internally. One engineer reported not writing a single line of code in months, with AI agents handling all coding tasks while human engineers supervise. Anthropic also claimed individual developers are now 8 times more productive and that future models may improve themselves without human intervention.
