How to Use Claude Code Like the People Who Built It

TL;DR: Today we’re releasing a new episode of our podcast AI & I. Dan Shipper sits down with Cat Wu and Boris Cherny, the founding engineers of Claude Code. (Dan is also teaching a Claude Code for Beginners course next month—learn more and register.)Watch on X or YouTube, or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Here’s a link to the episode transcript.

Claude Code singlehandedly turned Every into a different team: Each new feature now makes the next one easier to build, our CEO Dan Shipper ships to codebases he doesn’t know well, and non-technical people suddenly find themselves inside a terminal.

That’s why Dan invited Claude Code’s creators—Cat Wu and Boris Cherny from Anthropic—onto AI & I to talk about how they use it, and what they learned while building it.

They trace the origin of Claude Code from an internal experiment, walk through practical tips they’ve learned from watching Anthropic’s engineers in Claude Code—including how to use subagents and their favorite slash commands—and talk about their philosophy for continuing to develop the agent. Wu and Cherny also look ahead to what’s next: the new form factors they’re experimenting with, and how Claude Code is expanding beyond traditional coding scenarios in the hands of non-technical users.
