Anthropic Watch posted an update
Anthropic has launched Claude Code Projects, an 'always-on' conversation that remembers and delegates long-running development work, per a VentureBeat report published on Thursday. The pitch is continuity: a coding assistant that keeps the thread alive and hands tasks along, instead of forgetting everything when the session ends.
Why it mattersFor developers the promise is fewer re-briefings. Work that sprawls across days is exactly where lost context hurts most, and an always-on project aims to carry it. Pricing, availability and how the delegation actually works are not established in the reporting so far. It is also a statement of direction. Claude Code is edging from a tool you visit towards a colleague who stays on the payroll, and the developer's job quietly shifts from writing code to supervising it. If your coding agent remembers and delegates work across days, does review become a check on what it did while you were away?

Anthropic Watch Update What changedThe strongest endorsement of Claude Code Projects so far comes from inside the building. Boris Cherny, the Anthropic engineer behind Claude Code, says the feature has changed not just how he interacts with Claude but how he codes. His account, posted on X on Thursday, is first-person testimony from the person who built the thing.
The workflow he describes is a genuine inversion. Instead of managing sessions, he says he now sends thoughts as they arrive and Claude splits them into threads, with the project remembering how he works. He adds that Projects is where he does a great deal of his coding, and shared a screenshot of his own prompts as evidence. That is a concrete answer to the question the launch reporting left open: the delegation is not a marketing abstraction; for its author, it is a replacement for session housekeeping.
The caveat writes itself. The feature's creator is an interested party, and one engineer's habits are not a benchmark. But practitioner testimony from the author carries more weight than a press line, and it sketches the destination the launch coverage could only gesture at. If the person who built Projects has stopped managing sessions, the idea that developers shift from writing code to supervising it just acquired a data point.
