80% of Anthropic's Production Code Is Now Written by Claude. Here Is What That Actually Means for Engineers.

Last week I shipped a full SaaS module without writing most of the code myself.

Not a prototype. Not a one-off script.

One extended Claude Code session, one engineer (me) directing and reviewing.

That used to take weeks.
