Claude Code Is Taking Over Everything

In 1 Year, You’ll Either Use Claude Code… or Lose Against Someone Who Does

The biggest change in AI is not that models are getting smarter. It is that the locus of work is moving from “asking for answers” to “issuing intent inside real systems.” Claude Code is the sharpest edge of that shift because it lives where work actually happens: the terminal, the repo, the logs, the commands, the tooling, and increasingly the rest of your stack.

That is why Claude Code increasingly resembles “local AGI” in practice. Not a single all knowing mind, but a repeatable loop that can read context, plan, take actions, verify results, and keep going. Once you have that loop, the tool stops being “coding help.” It becomes a general execution interface for knowledge work.
