At this point, this is just irresponsible.
Yes, coding agents are leading to an increase of software production, but we are not seeing a similar push or increase in software quality.
If Anthropic focuses on safety and it believes software engineering is going away, then it needs to be doing much more to improve how we design, build, test, and maintain software (aka software engineering). Increasing the production of unreliable, poorly designed, and unverified software directly undermines safety.
Claude Code is claimed to be "fully written by AI". In the last two months, it took three separate postmortem-worthy failures and user complaints to surface what their own testing missed. Yesterday users were being over billed by hundreds of dollars. Software engineering isn't ready to go away and there is not enough progress to argue that case.
I am certain Anthropic would argue that AI progress in other domains is strongly dependent on having proper safeguards in place. I can't wrap my head around the cognitive dissonance when it comes to software.
PS: Mythos (may) improve software security, but that is only a subset of safety.

Anthropic CEO (Dario Amodei): "Coding is going away first, then all of software engineering." What do you think about this?
