That an interesting framing. My definitions are: - Coding/programming: the act of writing code - Engineering: everything else in addition to that Tactical/strategic is another reasonable split. I do see some parts of strategic coding being automated, eg. we are starting to automatically maintain our apps at Anthropic, as are a quickly increasing number of customers.

Instinct is very well done. I'm particularly impressed by how smooth the onboarding experience is to connect iMessages, Google Workspace, and my MCPs. The best builder prioritize onboarding and new user needs :) Instinct also feels more proactive than some of the other assistants - it'll suggest things it can do right away after connecting a MCP. However, I can't see myself doing real work with Instinct since it's all just in one thread. This is the same issue I have with @bot, the UX is very clean but often I want to have multiple threads going with the same bot. I think I'll use Instinct more as an assistant for random chores and tasks. For actual work, I'm still sticking to ChatGPT Work and Codex. P.S. I asked Instinct if I have any invites to give out and it says invites are paused, so don't ask me for any (yet) 🙂
