Head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny: "You're not supposed to write code anymore. You're supposed to build a graph that writes itself." In 30 minutes he breaks down how engineers at Anthropic build graphs that write the code, catch the bugs, and ships. Most engineers build agents, almost none... of them wire those agents into something that runs without them Watch it, then read the full guide on graph engineering below.show more

the next productivity leap isn't better agents. it's removing the human from the loop between them

He know what he is talking about

“catches the bugs and ships” is doing a lot of work here—what happens when the graph hits a flaky test or an ambiguous requirement? i’d want to see the recovery path, not just the happy-path diagram.

Amazing

@grok does the video really contain what is described in the opening post?

The graph metaphor is spot on. The real shift is treating the codebase as a dependency graph and letting agents traverse it. Curious how they handle cycles and shared state when the graph gets deep.

graphs that write and ship themselves is the new job description

Agents that need you in every turn are still chat. A graph that runs without you is the job. “Writes itself” only counts if it also catches the bug and has a path to ship. Most people built the nodes. Almost nobody built the edges.
