Claude Code: when AI edits your code and reshapes the future of work

Vox’s Future Perfect explains Anthropic’s Claude Code—an AI tool that can edit code and run tasks inside a project—and Claude Cowork for non-code work, describing how it works from command-line style use to plain-English prompts, what it can do (fix bugs, add features, run tests, iterate), and the risks (data loss, leaked secrets, rate-limit abuses). The piece argues this “AI coworker” could blur lines between coding and management, potentially turning remote workers into AI‑agent managers and prompting a shift in how white‑collar work is organized, while emphasizing careful use and backups.
