I'll go a step further and say Claude is an Interpreter.

It even has just-in-time compilation: it can directly follow a spec and generate small snippets live.

I'm pretty sure we'll soon see services (admittedly highly inefficient) built on Claude-as-a-backend.

Why inefficient? If Claude continuously makes the system more efficient based on demand, there's no reason for the system to be less efficient than if it was managed by humans.

  • I believe they mean Claude does the work directly, rather than writing software to do it.

  •   If Claude continuously makes the system more efficient based on demand
    

    Yes, Claude, please make the system as efficient as possible. Make no mistakes

It's not. It's a cargo cult developer that produces more code than you can review and confidently pushes bugs to prod.
