It could be really beneficial for Anthropic to showcase how they use their own product; since they're developers already, they're probably dogfooding their product, and the effort required should be minimal.

- A lot of skeptics have complained that AI companies aren't specific about how they use their products, and this would be a great example of specificity.

- It could serve as a tutorial for people who are unfamiliar with coding agents.

- The video might not convince people who have already made up their minds, but at least you could point to it as a primary source of information.

These exist. Just now I triedfinding such a video for a medium-sized contemporary AI devtools product (Mastra) and it took me only a few seconds to arrive at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWmSWSg848Q

There could be a million of these videos and it wouldn't matter, the problem is incuriosity/resistance/change-aversion. It's why so many people write comments complaining about these videos not existing without spending even a single minute looking for them: they wouldn't watch these videos even if they existed. In fact, they assume/assert they don't exist without even looking for them because they don't want them to exist: it's their excuse for not doing something they don't want to do.

That video was completely useless for me. I didn't see a single thing I would consider programming. I don't want to waste time building workflows or agentic agents, I want to see them being used to solve real world difficult problems from start to finish.

I have to agree, this video is hardly what most people would mean by programming. I am sure there are better videos than this?
