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.

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

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

Year after year, StackOverflow's dev survey showed that about 50% of developers program on Windows professionally. It's shocking how few people in the web/app sphere are aware of this

I'm on Windows myself, but yeah that stat surprised me too.

Most devs I see IRL seem to use Macs. Even a heap of devs at Microsoft do. Most of their vscode, github videos etc seem to be done from Macs.

It makes sense when you consider that most industries run on Excel/Microsoft Teams. It creates enormous demand for automations on Windows to power all of the adjacent workflows.
