Shift from quality to velocity started not yesterday but AI only accelerated this shift. Majority of comments here tell how fast Claude can generate code, not how good the result is. Electron is the prefect fit for move fast mindset. It is likely that Claude developers don’t see electron as problem at all.

I understand why they used Electron. But since AI is so amazing they should be using Claude to generate super optimized native software! They do claim that Claude is better than humans and AI is replacing programmers any day now.

So why aren't they using their own software to generate a linux optimized package for linux, a Swift software for MacOS and whatever windows uses.

That would be the best ad for AI. See, we use our own product!

But it doesn't happen.

So essentially by not generating custom binaries for every platform and using Electron they're doing one thing but saying something else. So maybe generating code isn't the #1 problem in the world!

Also I remember them saying that their engg write less code and they use Claude to write Claude. If Claude can be used to write Claude then why not use Claude to write OS specific binaries?!
