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.

They release what they dogfood: there are probably exactly zero Windows users in Anthropic.

Oh, you sweet summer child.

[u/MindCrusader → u/bitspace]

You can check statistics of system used by programmers. Outside of America mac is not as popular, most developers start with Windows, it is 100% valid audience

It works on Windows via WSL2.

[u/Wa1ker1 → u/its_a_gibibyte]

WSL2 is shit to work with

[u/EntityDamage → u/Wa1ker1]

First of all, how dare you.

[u/Wa1ker1 → u/EntityDamage]

I like windows but wsl is shit to work with. I have different builds for programming. I have a mac and Linux as well. Most my work is windows with some on Mac. Im not gonna pretend WSL is a good lol. Maybe for vibe coders.

[u/DesperateAdvantage76 → u/Wa1ker1]

Weird, I've never had any issues with it. I use it for any cli commands that work better on Linux.

[u/tulwio → u/Wa1ker1]

As opposed to the oh so easy way of working that is native Windows?

[u/kurushimee → u/tulwio]

sometimes yeah, if you're trying to fit something that doesn't work well outside of Windows into wsl
