He’s also well respected in the Python community for maintaining the cryptography package, partially written in Rust. This is just a random blog post, not an ad.

Maybe. But the fact they work for Anthropic is very relevant and changes my impression of the post quite a lot.

FWIW Having worked a lot with Alex on cryptography he seems almost entirely incapable of doing something that I would normally consider an advert.

Sometimes people have good experiences with tools and like to share them.

The author has added a note in the beginning of the post now making it clear that he works for Anthropic, which may explain the fixation on Claude Code!
