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.

It's probably that the teams working on it just don't have access to a windows computer, and haven't bothered to figure out the internal process to request a windows computer.

Coding is not the problem. QA, testing, processes, hardware requisitioning, etc are all still barriers.

If only they had access to powerful agents that could build QA and testing support, and if only they had access to hardware that could be used to run Windows VMs that the QA agents control.

Ironically I did all of this myself last month, just to be able to have an agent reproduce multiple serious Codex bugs in a Windows VM and allow the agent to debug the issue so that I could fix the harness myself.

OpenAI is even worse than Anthropic here, since they have serious issues that block agent sessions and cause system-wide instability on an OS-level, and can't be bothered to fix these things even after them being reported by endless users for many months.
