Hey Reader,

Do you know anything about AI-assisted agentic coding?

It's where you create or define some requirements for a feature, feed it to the AI, and work with it to build something awesome.

Believe it or not, I used this exact approach to build 99% of my new custom course platform with AI (video walkthrough ↗).

The tool I used for everything: Claude Code.

To me, it's like the Magento of agentic tooling. It's the only generative coding tool out there that gives the power back to you, so you can gain control over the unpredictable outputs of the LLM.

Just a couple days ago, I announced my next course:

​Crack the Claude Code​

​
It's currently at the launch price of $149 while lessons are being published (going up to $249 when complete), and covers all of the foundations and fundamentals of this paradigm-shifting tool.

Keep shipping code,

Similar to how Docker has a compose.yaml file, Claude has a CLAUDE.md file. This provides base instructions to the LLM -- and CC can create one for you:
