Okay y’all, this one is wild.

Boris Cherny, the guy who built Claude Code, shared his full workflow in a long post. And let's just say, the developer community is currently having a collective existential crisis. The good kind.

But first let’s talk numbers, because they’re absolutely mind blowing:

Every. Single. Line. All written by Claude Code with Opus 4.5. Apparently, Opus 4.5 needs less hand-holding, is better at tool use, and finishes faster overall.

And here’s the kicker: his setup is surprisingly vanilla.

No exotic hacks. No galaxy-brain tricks. Just a brutally disciplined workflow that turns one human into an entire engineering department.

Here’s the setup (Yes, It’s Insane)

Cherny runs:

He starts in Plan Mode (Shift + Tab twice), iterates until the plan is airtight, then switches to auto-accept edits.

From there, almost everything is automated.

Slash commands handle the busywork. His /commit-push-pr command, which he uses dozens of times a day, stages changes, commits code, pushes updates, and opens pull requests automatically.

Then come the specialized AI personas, also called subagents.

Each one handles a specific task:

It’s basically AI managing AI.

Think about that for a second.

While one agent runs tests, another refactors code, a third writes documentation, and a fourth debugs. At this point, he’s not coding anymore. He’s orchestrating.

One developer put it perfectly: “It feels more like StarCraft than traditional coding.”

But what really has people talking is this: Cherny’s team maintains a single shared file in their repo called CLAUDE.md.

Every time Claude makes a mistake, they add it to the file. During code reviews, they literally tag @claude and ask it to update its own instructions.

The result? Every mistake becomes a rule, the system gets smarter over time and the codebase learns from itself.

Seriously, it’s a self-correcting workflow where the longer you work with it, the better Claude performs.

Now here’s Cherny’s most important insight: Give Claude a way to verify its own work, and quality jumps 2 to 3×.

Claude doesn’t just ship code and hope for the best. For every change to claude.ai/code, it opens Chrome, tests the UI, and iterates until everything actually works.

In other words, it doesn’t just write code. It proves the code works. And if there’s one reason Claude Code hit $1B in revenue this fast, it’s probably this..

Why This Matters

This isn’t about working harder. It’s about working differently.

The future of software isn’t one developer writing more code. It’s one developer commanding systems that plan, build, test, verify, and improve themselves.

So the question is no longer, “Will AI change how we work?” It already has. The real question is: Are you using AI like a tool… or like a team?

Hope these tools help you reclaim some of your time today!

It’s happened to the best of us: you’re 45 minutes into a "meeting" that definitely could have been an email, nodding along while your soul slowly exits your body, and suddenly someone asks, "So, what are your thoughts on the deliverables for Q3?" 

Your brain: Error 404. Information not found. 

But what if I told you that you could literally sit there, drink your coffee, and let a digital twin do the heavy lifting? 

We’re talking about the Meeting-to-Action-Item Pipeline. If you aren't using this yet, you're playing the productivity game on "Hard Mode" for no reason.

How to set this up? It takes 3 minutes, we promise

The Otter Way:

Otter will now join ALL your meetings automatically, transcribe everything, and deliver notes 5 minutes after the meeting ends.

The Notion Way: (Note Notion requires a Business plan, which includes unlimited AI features.)

Pro tip: Connect Notion Calendar to auto-add meeting notes to every calendar event.

The Fathom Way:

The Chrome extension is especially slick, it embeds recording controls directly in Google Meet.

What You Actually Get After Each Meeting

All three tools deliver similar core features:

The One Rule You Can't Skip: ALWAYS tell people you're recording.

It's the right thing to do, and in many places (looking at you, California and 11 other two-party consent states), it's literally the law. All three tools let you announce recording at the start of meetings, and some—like Notion—have built-in consent collection features to keep you compliant.

Other Cool Tricks the Pros Are Using

The Bottom Line: We're living in the future y'all, and it's honestly pretty convenient. So stop reading and go try one of these. Your future self (who actually remembers what happened in that 3pm call) will thank you.
