Is it true that Claude is better than most humans on coding tasks?

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!

[Rak Chugh @rakchugh]

@lennysan @pmarca @a16z It’s always insightful to listen to @pmarca putting tech development into historical context. @lennysan does a great job asking about AI, founders, agi and even movies.

[Rak Chugh @rakchugh]

@AriEmanuel @patrick_oshag Great conversation with @AriEmanuel on being relentless even if you are the stupidest Emanuel. Events, content, agents & dyslexia.

[Rak Chugh @rakchugh]

@MatthewBerman @AravSrinivas @perplexity_ai Worth watching to understand what’s coming from @perplexity_ai and @PerplexityComet.

[Rak Chugh @rakchugh]

Lots to learn from this interview…

[DHH @dhh]

@jasonfried @lexfridman The fortune is equally distributed! If you had not taken a chance on a 37signals superfan from Copenhagen back in 2001, it's entirely possible none of this would have happened. A quarter of a century later, it's literally been the delight of a lifetime to work together.

[Rak Chugh @rakchugh]

@xai Incredible progress…

@collision @dwarkesh_sp @finkd Loved that @patrickc stays up at night paranoid that @stripe “could be hauled away by the garbage collector of capitalism.”
