Boris Cherny
Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic. Publicly endorsed the Claude Mythus defender-first disclosure approach on X, calling the model’s capabilities ‘terrifying’ and expressing pride in the Project Glass Wing preview. In a May 2026 Sequoia interview, he argued that coding is already “solved” for some codebases, that Claude Code was built ahead of model readiness, and that software creation is becoming a broad literacy for domain experts.
