Boris Cherny loves to code. So much, in fact, that he once said coding is the reason most people choose to become engineers in the first place.
He’s also the reason why many tech workers may never have to write a line of code again.
Cherny, 35, is the creator of Claude Code, the wildly popular Anthropic coding agent that’s made the company a driving AI force. The agent can write code, run commands, and access files to accomplish work on a user’s behalf. Claude Code was a hit with programmers and non-programmers alike in Silicon Valley, giving Anthropic an early foothold in the workplace. The tool also paved the way for Anthropic’s AI tools to play a larger role in industries like finance, legal work, marketing and more.
