Claude Code productivity boost

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most.

Here goes.

[André Christ @christ_andre]

@chrija Great summary! The amount of built-in capabilities in a SaaS will heavily shrink. As you can create ad-hoc reporting, dashboards, portals etc very customer centric way, many will come with an execution environment embedded. This makes it easy for everyone to run those extensions.

[André Christ @christ_andre]

CTO & CIOs: stop burning AI talent rewriting ERP/HCM/CRM and others. IT is 10% of company budget; and you're missing security, compliance, and enterprise basics along the way. The other 90%? Procurement, ops, finance - still running on spreadsheets. That's your asymmetric AI bet.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Cannot wait for teams that build their custom JIRA/Workday replacement/custom CRM to one day turn around and ask:

“Why do we have so much internal software that is buggy / has poor UX + we need to maitain?”

Seen this movie well before AI, when Uber built uChat (custom Slack)

Claude is turning CEOs back to builder mode.

„Win your category“ is what we believe in at @leanix_net too. The category of Enterprise architecture was 10+ y old and had 15 vendors in the @Gartner_inc MQ when we entered. Difficult for early investors. Now we have the highest ARR. Persistence and passion made it possible.

[Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin @jasonlk]

"Now that there are 100+ public SaaS companies, we can finally answer a question — is it better to start a company that remakes an existing category, or that creates a new one?"

@Justdoitalex @derspiegel Modernisierung der IT Landschaft ist ein weiter drängendes Thema, für Digitalisierung und für unsere Infrastruktur. In dem konkreten Fall hätte allerdings nur geholfen, wenn Cobol Programmierer auch Glasfaser der @deutschetelekom vor Baggern beschützen können 😀
