Ars Technica interviews Anthropic's Cat Wu, Claude Code's head of product, about usage limits, transparency, and the lean harness approach amid a compute crunch. The piece discusses the absence of a fixed long-term roadmap, rapid multi-surface releases (CLI, IDE, desktop), and efforts to make token usage more transparent, including live debugging and signals-based product decisions.
