“I have never enjoyed coding as much as I do today, because I don't have to deal with all the minutia.”- Boris Cherny
Boris Cherny built Claude Code as a solo hack in a terminal — it got two likes on its internal announcement. A year later, 4% of all GitHub commits in the world are authored by Claude Code. Boris hasn't edited a single line of code by hand since November 2025, yet says he's never enjoyed coding more.
