I’ve been living inside Claude Code for the past six months. Both on personal side projects and real production work as a senior manager leading engineering teams. It took some time to figure out how to use it properly. But once I did, the way I build software and the way my teams build software completely changed.
I no longer write most of the code myself. I mostly orchestrate and review. These are the practical tips and habits that got me to this point. Nothing theoretical here. Just the stuff I run with almost every single day.
