Something clicked for me recently watching how Claude Code has been shipping features. The pattern: a startup identifies a gap, builds a product, starts gaining traction and then Claude Code drops the exact same thing as a native feature. It’s happened repeatedly. Anthropic isn’t just reacting to the market, they’re watching the same signals and moving faster. Here’s my prediction for the next 6 to 12 months: Agents that rewrite themselves Skills and playbooks are static today. That changes soon. Agents will start updating their own instructions based on what worked and what didn’t. Several startups are racing to crack this. Anthropic will absorb it. The death of the local session Claude Code started local, one engineer, a few repos. Then came remote sessions. The next step is obvious: organisation-wide persistent sessions where the entire codebase is always live. A handful of architects steering, not an army of engineers typing. AI moves into production, not just development The shift isn’t just from writing code to reviewing PRs. It’s Claude sitting inside your infrastructure, monitoring, catching incidents, pushing fixes. Without being asked. 2026: fewer engineers isn’t a forecast anymore, it’s a plan Companies won’t frame it as layoffs. They’ll restructure around the assumption that the system runs itself.
