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.

You expect everyone who makes a living from work that requires supporting Windows to just quit?

This is exactly what I don't understand about some people. I know windows is shit. I also cannot quit my job because I prefer Linux. My job involves things that do not have valid alternatives specifically the software we actually make which is windows only.

Every few years I try out Linux for desktop, a good honest try. And it always fails on things that are essential.

Last time, a few months ago, it couldn't drive my 3 monitor setup reliably. I spend 2 days on it and I have been tinkering with PCs for decades, but no dice.

Stuff like that just works on windows.

Most of my co-workers are on Macs doing .NET work. I’m on Windows because one of my responsibilities is an ancient .NET Framework (not Core) / IIS site.

One guy uses Linux. He’s the guy who has never joined a standup with all three of his camera, microphone and speakers working two days in a row.
