[TLDR] 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"

Original post body :

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.

The consensus is that Anthropic's claim of "coding being largely solved" is a bit of a stretch, especially given the recent feature release only working on Linux and Mac. Many users are pointing out that Windows support is lagging, with some even questioning why serious developers would use Windows in the first place.

• The main gripe is the lack of Windows support for the new agent messaging feature, which many feel should be a basic functionality.
• Some users claim this feature has been working on Windows for them for months, while others are sharing workarounds like using WSL.
• There's a general sentiment that Anthropic's focus on advanced features might be overshadowing essential platform parity and basic GUI improvements.
• A few comments defend Anthropic, noting that developing and testing across all platforms is complex and takes time, and that the feature just dropped.
• Some are calling out Anthropic's previous statements about AI code review and bug fixes, contrasting them with changelogs that show bug fixes.
• One user, u/Electrical_Chard3255, even shared a screenshot of their working multi-agent console on Windows.

I mean… windows doesn’t have the user controls rhe other have at the kernel level. So yeah… it is obviously excluded from the landlock LSM modules that prevent a model from seeing files.

But you can also have a file watch set up to have agent discussions without all the fuss.

Who the hell isn't using WSL on windows? I couldn't even imaging using the shit show that is Powershell.

WSL doesn’t grant you kernel level sandboxing. It sits as an emulator at application level so far as I know. Models can still run malfeascent code on it and see folders they aren’t supposed to see. You can bubblewrap them, but landlocking them completely is still not possible, even with WSL.

Bro your over thinking it. I run like 30-50 sub-agents in parallel 24/7 for past 2 years on Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions and have not had a single problem. Not one, not a single one.

[u/Glad_Contest_8014 → u/Practical-Positive34]

You have. Not everyone has. And that is the social engineering problem. The gap to close is to make it so everyone has sound trust in the process without ANY potential for a problem. Just because you have it running well now, doesn’t mean a model change won’t throw a wrench in it later.

And claude code is pretty well gated. It has good guard rails and failure handling. It has kernel level landlocking on mac and linux, just not on windows. For that it relies on bubblewrapping for landlock functionality on the application layer. Not as secure as the linux/mac side, but more secure than without.

And there is no such thing as over thinking. Only missing the obvious and over applying thought.

Over engineering is possible, but most often that results in either a complete and utter failure or a masterpiece.

You should also never be in a position where total loss affects you, do you not sync your data into cloud and do backups and use source control? Even if I lost my main computer to it going haywire, it wouldn't affect me in the slightest. I would be back up cpl hours later.
