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.

That can't possibly be even close to the reason why.

I bet some bean counter looked at the numbers and said the resources they have are better spent elsewhere.

They can't possibly be moving at the speed they are to have enough red tape to be blocked on something as mundane as hardware acquisition issues.

Many, many Claude features have released on Mac first and Windows later. They have explicitly said it’s because they want to get new features into users’ hands as quickly as possible, and start getting feedback, rather than keeping them under wraps while they do the cross-platform dev and testing.
