Warren Buffett's Investing Checklist

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.

We've been rolling out a new dynamic compute platform in GKE for Pods running on Autopilot. It scales both vertically and horizontally on Google-managed capacity to drastically improve scheduling performance. Better performance, same price.

Agentic AI just wrote me a program to help me go thru all my 258 Apple Notes files in 2 hours.

It shows a snippet of the note, then I decide to keep, delete or skip. I categorize the keepers by topic (it has a list I choose from)

I reconnected with some really powerful notes I left myself. My mind is blown.

Claude Code beats Cursor, and it's not even close!

If you aren't using Claude Code yet, stop whatever you are doing.

If you're already using it, I'm about to show you a trick that will make your experience a lot better.

These charts are great to show you how the energy system has been changing over time. The queue (although only ~20-33% gets built) gives you an idea of what's coming down the pipeline.
