It's a growing list, and where it is weak, it mostly just a question of getting the token expenditure high enough while providing tools and grounding / embodiment. For sysadmin work, the main obstacle is having (something like) hands to open boxes, power cycle, and that sort of thing. The other day Claude Code set up a multi-architecture Kerberos server for me with NFSv4. Traditional software development is mostly done IMO. Also, building architecture is done. Claude Opus is surprisingly skilled at building plans. That will only accelerate IMO. Marcus
