Boris Cherny tried to get Claude Code to rewrite the Claude app
Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code at Anthropic, used Claude Code in a Slack-based agent version (Claude Tag) to attempt a rewrite of Claude's Electron-based desktop app to Swift. The experiment has been running for over 14 days without completion, with instructions to compare pixel-for-pixel between versions.
WHY IT MATTERS
The experiment illustrates both the potential and limitations of AI assistants in complex software development tasks where verification of work is critical, even though the outcome remains uncertain.
