I taught for 20 years in Japan. Now, a realtor in Calgary figuring out how to sell real estate using Claude and YouTube.

YouTube in 2026 won’t reward more content.

It will reward clearer content.

One audience. One problem.

Repeated, refined, grounded in lived experience.

Anthropic engineers finally showed the Claude Code workflow they actually use internally.

Most people are using Claude completely wrong.

The difference isn’t the agent. It’s the spec.

31 minutes that quietly explained why small teams are suddenly shipping at insane speed.

I broke down the most underrated Claude features below 👇

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 28-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free to watch. No signup. Pure gold

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

Claude Code weekly limits are increasing 50%, now through July 13.

Live now for all Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise users.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

How to pick the right Claude for the job:

1 - Download this infographic. Send it to your team.

2 - Stop defaulting to Chat for everything.

3 - Pro tip: Use Code when you're building. Cowork when you're working. Projects when you're repeating.

I just wrote my full Claude Code breakdown. It covers setup, real examples, and the mistakes I see everyone making.

Claude has infected my brain!

[Claude @claudeai]

New in Claude Code: auto mode.

Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf.

Safeguards check each action before it runs.

@amooh001 Thank you!

In January, I’m launching a second channel with strict constraints.

No hacks. No volume. Just clarity, repetition, and proof.

I want to see what compounds.

[David Simpson @illectricsheep]

Most creators lose viewers in the first 20 seconds because they skip orientation.

A simple fix:

who this is for

what problem we’re solving

what you’ll be able to do after

Do that and retention lifts.

[David Simpson @illectricsheep]

I’ve written and scripted over 30 long-form YouTube videos and taught film and communication for years.

The lesson that keeps repeating: clarity beats cleverness.

Every time.

These are just a few of the lessons I’ve learned.

[David Simpson @illectricsheep]

I spent 5 years teaching 250+ film studies students at a top private university in Japan and 2 years scripting 30+ YouTube videos.

My first YouTube essay hit 100 K+ views, 4.8 K+ hours, and 400+ subs—but my next 9 flopped compared to it. What went wrong? 👇

[David Simpson @illectricsheep]

3) Trust beats views.

Going viral means nothing if people don’t return.

My first video worked because it built authority on a clear topic. My mistake? Not doubling down.

You grow by owning 3-5 core topics, not chasing trends. Be the go-to expert, not a one-hit wonder.👇
