Six months ago, Boris Cherny uninstalled his IDE. He hadn't opened it in a month. Boris Cherny, Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, joins Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, hosts of the Acquired Podcast, live on stage at Acquired Unplugged — an intimate founder event presented by WorkOS. They cover: • How Claude Code started • Why the step changes in output always came down to the model, not the product • The death of the IDE and what "coding" even means now • How Cowork was built in 8 days, entirely using Claude Code • Why "product taste" as a human advantage is also going away
