Hey ████,
I think there is room for both.
1. Prototypes and other throw-away code can be treated as totally black box. If you’re going to throw it away anyway, and if the blast radius of it breaking is low, it doesn’t need to be perfect.
2. Production code written by Claude should have a higher bar than if it was written by a human. At Anthropic, we have many guardrails in place to make sure this is happening: lots of lint rules, lots of tests, Claude-driven end to end tests, Claude-powered fuzzers running daily, automated code reviews and security reviews, automated code refactoring, and so on. Without these, you can end up with a mess that is hard to maintain down the line. Luckily, the model makes it increasingly easy to do these well — run a few daily routines, use Claude Code Review, etc.
Your job is to hold the bar on code quality. If Claude’s code doesn’t meet the bar, try:
- Using the latest frontier model (Opus 5 or Fable 5.1)
- Increase effort to high or xhigh
- Invest in your CLAUDE.md and skills to succinctly teach Claude how to work in your codebase
If all else fails, steer Claude more when you work with it, or have Claude fix accumulated debt and rewrite your codebase to make it easier to work with. Or, wait for the next model.
Best,
Boris

.@AnthropicAI @bcherny we're having an issue with payment processing when buying more credits, 2 corporate cards failing, a personal card failing, and your support chat / fin is broken.
I am deeply saddened to share the passing of a great friend and mentor, Lenny Bandy. He was a remarkable leader and an even better man. I feel incredibly fortunate to have known him both professionally and personally.
From my first Super Bowl in New Orleans to our last time catching up in NYC, I will never forget his smile, his laugh, and the steady leadership he provided. Lenny made a lasting impact on everyone he met, and his presence will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, my friend.
.@rauchg or v0 team, I need some help. I've invited 2 new teammates and they cannot interact with chats on a project. they have access in both v0 and vercel and are under our paid team account. @vercel_support
Xfinity how about getting some engineers on your site so customers can login and manage their accounts.

I'm hiring an Engineering Manager for the @Shopify mobile app.
Leading a team of 8-12 devs, React Native & native, end-to-end product ownership, strong people leadership and technical chops, based in Canada or the US.
If it sounds like your kind of role, DM me.
People ask how to work your way to becoming the CTO of multiple $1B brands... you must use analogies to explain technology to non-tech people... here is my example of DDoS. A DDoS attack — that's 'Distributed Denial of Service' — is like a hot-dog eating contest where your mouth is the website.
Normally you (or the site) can only handle so many hot dogs at once before you have to stop. But the bad guys don't play fair. Instead of you eating them yourself, suddenly a whole crowd shows up from every direction: Manny shoving from the left, Jason from the right, RD straight up the middle, then Ben, Dodd, and dozens more piling on. They're all working together, stuffing hot dogs faster than you can chew or even swallow.
Pretty soon your mouth is completely jammed — nothing else can get in or out. The eating contest stops cold. That's exactly what happens to the website: real customers can't get through, everything freezes, and often the attackers send a ransom note: 'Pay us or we keep the hot dogs coming.
