  • Anthropic's Claude Code lead says prompt engineering is largely irrelevant

    Boris Cherny, the creator and head of Claude Code at Anthropic, said in a recent interview that prompt engineering matters far less than most users think, and that the real skill is giving Claude hard tasks with a way to verify its own work. Speaking with Y Combinator's Diana Hu, Cherny described an internal experiment where an engineer gave Claude Code access to OpenCV, an open-source computer vision library, and asked it to draw images. Claude did, despite having no obvious prior capability f
