If only Anthropic had some kind of automated tool that was good at porting software

Even if you can create infinite software you still have to be very intentional about what you’re choosing to work on.

There’s still a cost to testing, support, planning, etc even if coding is now “free”

		Anthropic claims 8-fold productivity increase since 2025. If even that isn't enough to enable support for Linux, I don't know what it is.

		If there were any truth to the marketing stories that say they have such a thing, then they could indeed.

		It’s almost as if this whole productivity increase promised by AI is just marketing spiel, huh? Crazy.

It doesn't sound like that's the bottleneck.

Sorry that's not the use case anymore its about (checks notes) "forward deployed engineers", yep that's it. Go build!

		TBH I don't get the narrative there either. Earlier it was about how regular people can now build many types of software for themselves (and btw, I agree with this), but somehow the narrative has shifted to something like "regular software engineers would work with the customer to develop applications", which makes a lot less sense.

Use the existing Slop they have that needs 1GB of Ram for a simple Terminal app to create an even more slopped Linux app... If only they had any devs at their 500K and way up pay package that could actually write a simple app, that you know does not suck.

Those highly paid human devs are hard at work on the Torment Nexus, which is their priority of course, you don't want China to win do you?

		Torment doomers claim that the commodification of humanity’s suffering will usher in a dark age, but quarterly earnings have never been higher. I trust that Death Star Inc has humanity’s best interests at heart.
