Claude Code by the Numbers: What's Measurable, What's Hype

from My Weird Prompts

Claude Code went from zero to the top of the coding-tool charts in eight months — but Anthropic has never published an absolute user count. This episode separates the disclosed from the estimated from the invented: the revenue ladder from $500M to $16.8B quarterly, the JetBrains and Stack Overflow surveys that disagree by 26 points, and an Anthropic study of 235,000 people that reveals who's actually at the keyboard. The most surprising finding? Novices succeed 15% of the time while experts hit 33% — and management occupations score highest of all.
