Coding looks like a loner experience but to be successful it's a social experience

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.

Vibe coding is 100x more powerful when used by a professional software engineer than by a novice.
In SWE slow wins the race.
You can try fight this but the come down is brutal.
You will eventually get fast but you'll need to go slow and deep first.
Working with AI be like :
"I need this."
AI: "Copy pasted answer about general information around this topic."
"That's not what I asked for."
"Oops sorry. Here's what you're ACTUALLY Lookingn for."
"Repeat X number of times."
The best way to network isn't to have virtual coffee chats(although this helps a lot).
Find a collaboration project you're passionate about with a team of developers.

TIL about process.memoryUsage() in Node.js. Handy for quick sanity checks when you don’t want to reach for a profiler.
Me having a shitty day. My best: "Dude. We're living in a simulation. Enjoy your life. Nothing matters." 😂

Got a full stack software engineer job in the worst job market ever in 2024. It’s possible guys. Here’s what I did differently: DMd/direct emailed hiring managers vs clicked apply, made projects tailored to the job, and held boundaries with employers and stuck with them #100Devs

Did a thing I would have never thought possible just 3 years ago working for barely over minimum wage. I bought my first house! My son and I were in a 1 bedroom all his life. Now we have our own home.
Would not be here if it wasn’t for @leonnoel and #100devs
