AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
Cat Wu says Friday was her last day at Anthropic, two years after joining when Claude Code was a small internal tool, without saying what's next; Sentry's @zeeg asked why so many people are leaving publicly right before the IPO. Separately, OpenAI researcher @realchillben confirmed joining a16z. Why it matters:...
The source describes Claude Code as Anthropic's most successful developer product, so losing a leader who helped build it matters to developers and businesses that rely on it. The timing ahead of an IPO is raising questions about further departures. Watch for any statement from Anthropic or Wu about her next role or about changes to the Claude Code team.
