The story behind the cartoon

Catherine “Cat” Wu, Anthropic's head of product for Claude Code, announced November 5 she is joining OpenAI to lead product management for Core Products.

The move comes weeks before Anthropic's IPO roadshow — and Wu is the third person closely tied to Claude Code to walk.

The defection is the story: the person who ran the product that made Claude Code is now running product at the rival.

The joke is the short walk: two doors, six feet apart, one box labelled CLAUDE CODE — she never even had to leave the building, just change the sign over her head.
