Didn't he say it was for the team integrating his input library into claude desktop? Seems pretty relevant experience.


It mentioned an "open position in the team implementing the secret, unreleased feature of Claude Desktop," which doesn't specify whether the "secret" feature is AI-related or UI-related. My guess leans towards the former.


To give the full quote, it says:

> I found out that Anthropic had an open position in the team implementing the secret, unreleased feature of Claude Desktop using enigo.

where enigo is his input library. It's quite interesting that you chose to end your quote a few words before the end of the sentence.


You got me, adding “using enigo” makes all the difference — I guess position is exclusively for working with this one library and that’s the position they got overloaded with applications on and couldn’t process one sent by OP.


It clearly does make a difference as to why he thought his experience was relevant to the job (i.e. what we were discussing before), and I think you agree with that hence your somewhat "selective" omission when you posted the quote.


I wasn't making a statement about whether his experience was relevant to the job. I don't know the author and don't automatically doubt his knowledge. I was simply sharing the opinion that being the author of that UI library alone does not fast-track someone for the "Software Engineer working on Claude Code" position at Anthropic.
