Summary
Claude Code creator Boris Cherny believes that by the end of this year, people will no longer use traditional IDEs, editors will gradually integrate with AI agents, future software development will be done through conversational agents handling most of the work, and the terminal will become the most natural agent interface.

Claude Code’s creator Boris Cherny makes a bold prediction:
“By the end of this year, people will no longer use IDEs.”
But what Boris really means isn’t that IDEs will disappear, but rather:
Editors are gradually merging with AI agents.
In his 30-minute demo, Claude Code showed how to complete the entire development workflow – from planning, coding, testing to deployment – solely through the terminal, and could autonomously execute tasks.
His point:
“Future software development won’t be developers operating IDEs, but developers conversing with agents, with the agent handling the majority of the execution work.”
In other words:
IDEs won’t be replaced by terminals, but will be redefined by conversational agents.
You can watch Boris’s demo to understand why the terminal is becoming the most natural working interface in the agent era; or read the original article to dive deeper into how to choose and install the SKILL you need.

@shitunote: Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt described a dramatic shift in programming paradigms in a recent video interview: "Programmers no longer write code line by line. Instead, they wake up in the morning, go to the office (because people have social needs); then gather 10 Claude friends or 10 Gemini friends (i.e., AI agents), set them up with target functions, and watch them generate code; then go out for lunch, ensuring the AI keeps working; come back in the afternoon, assign a long enough task for the AI to run overnight, and go home to spend time with family. The next morning, the results are there."
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt described a future programming paradigm in an interview: programmers will command multiple AI agents (like Claude, Gemini) to generate code instead of manually coding. This tweet sparked discussion, asking if the description is accurate.
