Must be nice to have unquota’ed tokens to use with frontier AI (is this the case for Anthropic employees?). One thing I think is fascinating as we enter the Intellicene is the disproportionate access to AI. The ability to petition them to do what you want is currently based on monthly subscriptions, but will it change in the future? Who knows?

> (is this the case for Anthropic employees?) It would be funny if the company paying software engineers $500K or more along with gold-plated stock options was limiting how much they could use the software their company was developing.

Especially when the software they're developing is supposed to speed up the speed at which the software they are developing is developed.

I'm a bit jealous. I would like to experiment with having a similar setup, but 10x Opus 4.5 running practically non stop must amount to a very high inference bill. Is it really worth the output? From experimentation, I need to coach the models quite closely in order to get enough value. Letting it loose only works when I've given very specific instructions. But I'm using Codex and Clai, perhaps Claude code is better.

Yeah, doesn't this guy work for Anthropic? He'd get to use 10x Opus 4.5 for free.

This was extremely useful to read for many reasons, but my favorite thing I learned is that you can “teleport” a task FROM the local Claude Code to Claude Code on the web by prepending your request with “&”. That makes it a “background” task, which I initially erroneously thought was a local background task. Turns out it sends the task and conversation history up to the web version. This allows you to do work in other branches on Claude Code web, (and then teleport those sessions back down to local later if you wish)

I implemented some of his setup and have been loving it so far.

My current workflow is typically 3-5 Claude Codes in parallel

- Shallow clone, plan mode back and forth until I get the spec down, hand off to subagent to write a plan.md

- Ralph Wiggum Claude using plan.md and skills until PR passes tests, CI/CD, auto-responds to greptile reviews, prepares the PR for me to review

- Back and forth with Claude for any incremental changes or fixes

- Playwright MCP for Claude to view the browser for frontend

I still always comb through the PRs and double check everything including local testing, which is definitely the bottleneck in my dev cycles, but I'll typically have 2-4 PRs lined up ready for me at any moment.

Couple things stand out to me:

1) everyone on the team uses Claude code differently.

2) Claude Code has been around for almost a year and is being built by an entire team, yet doesn't seem to have benefited from this approach. The program is becoming buggier and less reliable over time, and development speed seems indistinguishable from anything else.

3) Everything this person says should be taken with a massive grain of salt considering their various conflicts of interest.

Great list of useful tips. It's interesting that Boris doesn't mention "Agent Skills" at all. I'm still a bit confused at the difference between slash commands and Agent Skills. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills

"Boris: Skills = slash commands, I use them interchangeably"
