Claude writes code just fine, and can create shareable "artifacts" that may have full backends, databases etc.

Claude Code is a poor fit for non-engineers, it carries a lot of features, vernacular, and patterns that don't make sense to people that don't code.

So I don't think this means much? All of the coding functionality a non-engineer could want is still available, just no need to switch to a different tab in the Claude app (or even worse the terminal).

A reasoning cited in the article is that there was no source control in place for the trade tooling that Goldman Sachs finance employees were building.

I'm guessing that + probably the absence of any deployment infrastructure for the finance people to be forced to use made Goldman Sachs' eyes widen and pull the plug immediately before something blows up (if it hasn't already internally).

I also wonder if a lack of diligence with Claude Code (or any LLM tool for that matter) resulted in private information getting leaked, and that feedback is just now getting back to them.

In terms of the big picture of the industry and the AI bubble though, yeah this isn't too big of a deal.
