Summary

Few AI products have found the kind of product-market fit we’ve seen from Claude Code. On the eve of the product’s first anniversary, Anthropic’s Boris Cherny explains why Claude Code is so powerful, all the work left to do, and why he no longer writes any code himself. After that, The Verge’s Hayden Field joins the show to talk about how we should think about giving our data (and our computers) to AI, even when it seems useful. Finally, The Verge’s Allison Johnson helps David answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (866-VERGE11) about whether you should go buy a phone, like, right now. Further reading: Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft Claude has been having a moment — can it keep it up? The AI security nightmare is here and it looks suspiciously like lobsterĀ  OpenClaw’s AI ā€˜skill’ extensions are a security nightmareĀ  Humans are infiltrating the social network for AI botsĀ  Anthropic connects Claude to Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and OneDriveĀ  MCP extension unites Claude with apps like Slack, Canva, and FigmaĀ  The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care aboutĀ  Subscribe to The VergeĀ for unlimited access toĀ theverge.com, subscriber-exclusive newsletters, and ourĀ ad-free podcast feed.We love hearing from you!

Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast, of pointing an LLM at just a bunch of text files to see what happens.

0:09.0

I'm your friend David Pierce, and I am sitting here getting ready for the next season of version history.

0:14.1

Version history, if you don't know, is our tech rewatch show about the most interesting good and bad products in history.

0:20.2

It's a very fun show. And for this season,

0:22.1

I have had to do research that has taken me down rabbit holes about Apple history, like deep into

0:27.5

Apple's history and into the history of the monopoly that AT&T had for decades over the phone

0:34.1

business in the United States. And that in particular is a story I just frankly knew

0:38.0

nothing about. And I found myself reading a bunch of tech history books, which is delightful.

0:43.9

First of all, I should read more books. We should probably all read more books. At this moment in time,

0:49.5

my information system is just insane. I'm on social media. I'm scrolling through apps. I'm on Reddit.

0:55.5

I probably read more words than I ever have, but it's this like discombobulated galaxy of

1:01.5

just stuff all the time. And to sit down and just open up a book and stare at it for three hours

1:09.3

1:12.9

ways. So all of this is to say, go books is the official stance of the Vergecast in 2026. But that's

1:19.6

We're going to talk actually a bunch about AI. The first thing we're going to do is talk to

Boris Churney, who created Claude Code at Anthropic. Claude came out a year going to talk actually a bunch about AI. The first thing we're going to do is talk to Boris

1:27.6

Churny, who created Claude Code at Anthropic. Claude code came out a year ago today, Tuesday,

1:33.1

February 24th, as you're hearing this, and I think it's kind of become the single most important

1:38.2

AI product out there. So we're going to talk to Boris about where it came from, what happened at

1:43.4

the end of last year that really made it take off and where all of this goes from here.

1:47.6

I also have a bunch of product support questions that I'm going to make him answer because I can because he's coming on the podcast.
