POV: you found out how the guy who built Claude Code actually uses it.

I found out how the person who built Claude Code actually uses it, and it is nothing like how most people run it 👀 Most people use Claude Code like a chatbot in a terminal. The people who built it use it like an operating system for their work. The gap is not talent, it is setup. The 10 tips: 1. Run parallel sessions. Several Claudes at once, each on its own copy of the code, so you never overload one. 2. Invest in your CLAUDE.md. The file Claude reads before every task. Add a line every time it slips and it gets smarter every week. 3. Start in Plan Mode. Lock the approach before it touches a file, then let it run. It usually one shots from a good plan. 4. Codify every repeated workflow. Turn the thing you retype all day into a single slash command. 5. Integrate your external tools. Slack, your database, your error tracker, all reachable by Claude on its own. 6. Set up long running tasks. Give it a way to verify on completion so it works uninterrupted. 7. Add a formatting hook. Catches the 10% of edge cases that would break your build. 8. Pre-approve safe commands. Allowlist what you trust instead of approving every command by hand. 9. Use the most capable model with thinking on. Slower per step, faster overall, because you steer it less. 10. Make sure Claude can verify its own work. A feedback loop 2 to 3x's the quality of the final result. This is the big one. None of this is clever prompting. It is setup that compounds. Save this before your next session. #claudecode #claude #ai #aitools #coding
