Not even close. That distinction belongs to Aider, which was released 1.5 years before Claude Code.

Oh cool, I didn’t know that.
let me be a date-time nerd for a split second:
- Claude Code released Introducing Claude Code video on 24 Feb 2025 [0]
- Aider's oldest known GitHub release, v0.5.0, is dated 8 Jun 2025 [1]

That’s 8th of June 2023 not 2025.. almost 2 years before Claude Code was released.
I remember evaluating Aider and Cursor side by side before Claude Code existed.
Hey your dates are wildly wrong... It’s important people know aider is 2023. 2 years before CC
Wrong. So wrong, in fact, that I’m wondering if it’s intentional. Aider was June 2023.
sorry, editing it out! thanks for pointing out.
EDIT: I was too late to edit it. I have to keep an eye on what I type...
