The 5 Claude Code Mistakes That Make Developers Think AI Coding Tools Don't Work

Most developers who say "Claude Code doesn't work for me" aren't wrong about the experience.

They're wrong about the cause.

Here are 5 mistakes I see constantly — and the fix for each.

[Zain Shaikh @ZainShaikh]

Shopify’s Head of Engineering:

“AI writes the code. AI reviews the code. Your job is to build the loops around it.”

3,000 engineers already work like this.

Most people still don’t.

That gap won’t stay small for long.

Want to learn how to actually write better prompts for #Claude?

#Anthropic just released a free 27-minute workshop taught by the people behind it.

No fluff. No paywall. Just practical prompting tactics most paid courses miss.

Worth bookmarking.

[Zain Shaikh @ZainShaikh]

Takeaway: Claude Code works best as a collaborator, not an oracle.

Specific prompts. Small scope. Careful review.

That’s the difference between frustrating outputs and productive ones.

[Zain Shaikh @ZainShaikh]

The pattern behind all 5 mistakes:

Treating Claude Code like magic instead of like a junior engineer who is very fast, occasionally overconfident, and needs clear instructions.

Give it context. Give it scope. Verify the output.

That's the whole workflow.

When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP

That way nobody can get in

I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS

So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in

Why?

A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it

You want to only have it accessible to you

And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts

Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web

How it works:

[Zain Shaikh @ZainShaikh]

If you write Node.js and don't have custom CLI tools, you're working harder than necessary.

Imagine running one command that:
- scaffolds projects
- automates repetitive tasks
- integrates APIs
- speeds up dev workflows

This book shows how to build your own Node.js...
