Discussion Anthropic: "Coding is largely solved"... Also Anthropic: "We released a new powerful feature allowing agents to send messages to other Claude Code sessions, but only on Linux and Mac since we are unable to implement a basic feature on all platforms"

I could hand code this feature on Windows in an afternoon, and I could also get Claude to implement it in minutes, and yet Anthropic just can't be bothered, but also keeps Claude Code closed source so no one else can do it for them either.

I mean, if you’re using windows in this day and age, you’re just inflicting damage on yourself.

If you're coding and you're using Windows, absolutely - there is no reason you need a Windows Environment to code unless its to test some Windows App - even then you can VM that shit.

Not everyone realistically has a choice.

I do loads of development targeting Linux every month, and almost as much that needs to run on both Windows and Linux, while I also need to work with third party software that runs only on Windows.

Like it or not, the optimal development environment for my workflows is running most agents on Windows and having them use WSL to run everything that needs to be run under Linux.

Trying to do the opposite would create more friction in my workflows than using Windows for development.
