Anthropic code or Hypethropic code?




On 1978 I participated in an International computers conference in Jerusalem. 

I was a young Systems Programmer and a good Chess player playing in tournaments.


A main attraction was an Artificial Intelligence related event.

It was a Chess Tournament between the best programs in the world.


The leading programs of that time played better than ChapGPT 5 and other general purpose Ai Chatbots. 


After the tournament people played against the Chess Programs.

I won easily a game against one program.

I do not remember if I defeated the program which won the tournament  or against the program which won the 2nd place.


On 1997 IBM's Deep Blue defeated world champion Gary Kasparov.

Today no human being is able to win against leading dedicated Chess programs. 



Anthropic code



Anthropic code solutions is the reason of  shape decline of stocks of other companies providing SaaS software, Security software and COBOL programming language Legacy systems.



My Take



Currently, Anthropic code solutions resemble e Chess Programs of 1978. 

It will take years until they resemble Deep Blue's level beating Kasparov.

It will take a long time until they will enable Real World solutions, if they ever will enable such solutions.

AI is currently in the Hype stage of Gartner Hype Cycle.

Anthropic code is not an exception.


The Chess programs of 1978 were valuable.

Current Anthropic code is also valuable, if the user is aware of its limitations and use it properly. 




Next posts


I have a lot of hands on experience in Security, COBOL and Legacy Systems Modernization. 

I also have a lot of experience in consulting related to SAAS solutions.  

I will write three posts relating to the limited capabilities of Claude Code in these areas.

The mainframe: still alive and kicking

Recently, I was interviewed by  Pcon   (unfortunately the link points to an Hebrew only site) as part of debriefing on Legacy Systems.  Pcon is an Israeli company investigating IT topics by quoting professional articles and interviewing experts. They publish the results of the investigations including practical recommendations. This post is mainly about topics raised by me during the interview, but not included in the debriefing, which will be published.    What are Legacy Systems? The term Legacy Systems refers to old application systems and/or veteran technologies still in use.  Usually, the term Legacy Systems is associated with: 1. Mainframe Hardware e.g. IBM System z and its Operating Systems or Proprietary Servers and Operating Systems such as HP Alpha and OpenVMS Operating System, IBM AS/400 and OS/400   Operating System. 2. Development and Production Environments, e.g. COBOL , Natural and DBMS systems such as Adabas  ...

Will Business and IT Aligned?

For decades we are talking about closing the gap between business and IT , but the gap is still as wide as it was. In the beginning of the ERP era, we focused on aligning Business Processes and Core Systems, but in most enterprises we failed. SOA was the next alignment promise: defining the SOA Services in Business boundaries instead of Technical boundaries, should narrow the gap. However, despite of SOA Business Value ( Agility and Reuse )  in most enterprises,  the large Business-IT Gap remained as large as it was.  The IT Community aimed at the next alignment attempt: SOA is technical and BPM is its Business related complement.  Will the current BPM based alignment attempt succeed? I do not know, but Nick Heath's article  titled: Stop doing what the vendors tell you, CIOs told , published in  Tech Republic , suggests that the root of the problem is not Technological .   Stop Doing What the vendors Tell You Nick Heath's article is based ...

Vendors Survival: Will Software AG Survive until 2019?

This post is another post in the Vendors Survival series following posts on Microsoft , Google , HP , Sun and EMC . On July 14 th Software AG and IDS Scheer announced that Software AG is going to take over IDS Scheer . The intended acquisition is an opportunity to add another post in my Vendors Survival posts series. A brief history of Software AG Mainframe products Software AG is larger than any German software company except SAP . It was established in the Mainframe age (in 1969). I worked with many customers, who used and some of them are still using, its two flagship products Adabas and Natural . Although these products support many platforms, their main platform is IBM Mainframe. Adabas is a database and Natural is a development environment. Like other pairs of Database and Development Environment in the mainframe environment (e.g. Ideal and Datacom , Mantis and Supra) build by the same vendor, they are tied together. As a result, although it is possible t...
