@pjlalah True words ma. Life will always reward resilience, tenaciousness and grit. Employees should learn how to go beyond their KPIs and timelines to be exemplary.
Every experience tells a story.
I love your new office space ma.
From my experience, I find this to be very correct!
I recall my first job as lawyer in a startup law firm, I did anything and everything that was within the cycle of my work and affected my output.
I learnt how to do basic generator repairs, not because I was told to do so but I did for days I will need to print or do some work and NEPA or the generator repairer does not come on time.
I learnt how to do basic printer repairs for days of urgent printing and the printer goes comatose.
I kept basic expense account for running the office and funds retirement.
No place or court was too far for me to go for a client or for work. At 7 months pregnant, I was still frequenting courts jumping from Lagos to Okitipupa for trials. On my labour bed, I was reviewing brief of arguments for the juniors I was supervising at the office. I truly enjoyed those things and never saw it as work.
I was so committed to the growth of the firm, I went out of my way to bring in work and briefs towards its growth.
After I left the firm about a decade later, I found everything I learnt really useful. It bred incredible resilience and fueled innovation for my own firm.
Just maybe the ‘exceptional’ ones are truly not the ones who check the time to clock in 9-5. They are the ones who typically go above and beyond the call of duty…
The wait is over!!!

You can make $500/hr selling your knowledge.
I started doing this when I was in Shell.
And it was one of the reasons I left so I can double down on what was working.
If you are considering diversifying your 9-5, get into expert networks.
This is one example from a company called GLG.
I tell them what I know about "US Hydrogen Energy" and they pay me for that.
I literally set my price.
Depending on demand/supply, you can set yours to $150, $250 or $1,000 an hour.

Claude vs. Claude Code vs. Cowork.
If you've been confused about which one to use and when, this post will clear that up in under two minutes.
Anthropic now offers three distinct ways to interact with Claude, and each one targets a fundamentally different workflow. Think of it as: Chat for thinking, Code for building, and Cowork for doing.
Here's a quick breakdown:
1️⃣ Claude Chat
This is the conversational AI assistant most people already know. You type a prompt, Claude responds, and you iterate together.
- Turn rough ideas into structured plans through conversation
- Write emails, reports, essays, and long-form content
- Research and summarize complex topics in minutes
- Analyze documents, PDFs, and images
- Build interactive prototypes through Artifacts
The key here is that everything happens through conversation. You're thinking with Claude, not delegating work to it.
It's available on every device, has a free tier, and supports persistent memory across sessions.
The tradeoff is that it has no direct access to your local files (upload only), and it can't generate raster images natively.
2️⃣ Claude Code
This is a terminal-native coding agent. You describe what you want in plain English, and Claude reads your codebase, writes code, runs tests, fixes errors, and ships the result.
- Build and debug entire features across the full codebase
- Write, run, and fix tests automatically
- Manage git workflows and create pull requests
- Spawn multiple parallel agents working on different parts of a task simultaneously
It handles the full development cycle end to end, from planning to execution to testing. With the CLAUDE(.)md configuration file, you can teach it your project's conventions, patterns, and constraints so it writes code the way your team expects.
The tradeoff is a steeper learning curve compared to Chat, and token costs can add up during heavy sessions.
3️⃣ Claude Cowork
This is the newest addition. Anthropic describes it as Claude Code for the rest of your work.
It's an agentic desktop assistant that automates file management and repetitive tasks through a GUI. You describe an outcome, and Claude plans, executes, and delivers finished work: formatted documents, organized file systems, spreadsheets with working formulas, and synthesized research.
- Direct local file access and editing (no upload/download cycle)
- Schedule recurring tasks automatically
- Assign tasks remotely via Dispatch from your phone
- Computer Use lets Claude control your screen directly
It runs inside a sandboxed virtual machine on your computer, so Claude can only access folders you explicitly grant. You don't need to know how to code to use it.
The tradeoff is that your computer must stay awake for tasks to run, and it's still in research preview.
Here's how to think about choosing between them:
→ If you need to think through a problem or get writing/research help, use Chat
→ If you're building software and want an autonomous coding partner, use Code
→ If you have a clearly defined deliverable that involves local files and desktop workflows, use Cowork
All three are included in the same subscription starting at $20/month, which makes it one of the highest-leverage subscriptions in productivity software right now.
I've put together a visual below that maps the workflow of each product side by side.
If you want to go deeper into Claude Code specifically, I wrote a detailed article covering the anatomy of the .claude/ folder, a complete guide to CLAUDE(.)md, custom commands, skills, agents, and permissions, and how to set them all up properly. Link in the next tweet.
