# A quote from Boris Cherny Source: [https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/11/boris-cherny/](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/11/boris-cherny/) 11th September 2026 > Production code written by Claude should have a higher bar than if it was written by a human\. At Anthropic, we have many guardrails in place to make sure this is happening: lots of lint rules, lots of tests, Claude\-driven end to end tests, Claude\-powered fuzzers running daily, automated code reviews and security reviews, automated code refactoring, and so on\. Without these, you can end up with a mess that is hard to maintain down the line\. —[Boris Cherny](https://twitter.com/bcherny/status/2098217573276131577)
