I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined.

I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top.

The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever.

My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply.

To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had.

For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new.

If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.
