Boris Cherny (Creator of Claude Code): "The one technical book I would recommend to everyone that has had the greatest impact on me as an engineer is functional programming in Scala. You're probably never going to use Scala day today, but the way it teaches you to think about coding problems is just such a change from the way that most people were in coding, either practically or in school. It's just. It's incredible. It's going to completely change the way that you code now. I think in types, when I code, the thing that matters in your code the most is the type signatures. This is more important than the code itself." Boris Cherny

David Singleton ( David Singleton ) was the CTO at Stripe for 7 years before he left to start /dev/agents. Prior to Stripe, he grew from a junior engineer to a VP at Google. I recently asked him about everything he knows about career growth and being an excellent engineering leader. We discussed: • How he grew from an IC to a VP at Google • How to hire at scale without Leetcode • Writing code as a senior leader • The story behind becoming Stripe’s CTO • The top book and habit that impacted his career Where to watch: • Youtube: • Spotify: • Apple Podcasts: What’s funny is in conversation I discovered that Philip Su (from a previous episode) and David were constantly battling for the top talent in London Philip was the London site director for Meta and David was his counterpart at Google. They grew close out of mutual respect and it’s why Philip spoke highly of David’s expertise If you haven’t seen the Philip episode I also recommend that one:

Boris Cherny: "I don't write code anymore, I just prompt with Claude" he spent 57 minutes explaining exactly where this is all going here's what stood out: > Claude Code grew faster than anyone at Anthropic expected > AI agents are moving beyond coding into every industry > running 1,000 agents in parallel is already happening > SaaS may not survive the agent era if the Head of Claude Code prompts instead of codes, what does that tell you about the next 2 years? that's exactly why I put together an article on Claude features most people don't know exist it will change how you work with Claude completely you can find it below

📁 Boris Cherny, engineer at Anthropic, says 100% of his code is written by Claude. He ships 10 to 30 pull requests a day and has not edited a single line by hand in months. Claude writes it. Claude reviews it. Humans are still in the loop, but they are no longer the ones typing.

Claude Code cracked something open for us Every 📧. Now I ship to codebases I barely know, every feature we ship makes the next one easier, and non-technical members of the team use the terminal. I’m genuinely grateful. So I brought its creators, Cat Wu (cat) and Boris Cherny (Boris Cherny) from Anthropic, on AI & I to say thank you—and to talk about everything they’ve learned from building Claude Code. We get into: • The workflows Anthropic’s smartest engineers use to push Claude Code to its limits. Why they pit subagents against each other to get cleaner results, how they turn past code into leverage, and the slash commands and MCPs they rely on most. • The product lessons behind one of the most loved AI agents in the world. How the team balances simplicity and power—building a tool that anyone can use, but that experts can bend to their will—and their philosophy of “unshipping,” or cutting back whenever there’s a simpler, more intuitive path to user intent. • A peek into the future of coding with AI. The new form factors they’re experimenting with to make Claude Code more autonomous, more reliable, and more accessible to non-technical users This is a must-watch for anyone—both technical and non-technical—who wants to learn how to use Claude Code like the people who built it. Watch below! Timestamps: Introduction: 00:01:26 Claude Code’s origin story: 00:02:25 How Anthropic dogfoods Claude Code: 00:07:03 Boris and Cat’s favorite slash commands: 00:14:06 How Boris uses Claude Code to plan feature development: 00:15:49 Everything Anthropic has learned about using sub-agents well: 00:21:53 Use Claude Code to turn past code into leverage: 00:26:16 The product decisions for building an agent that’s simple and powerful: 00:33:14 Making Claude Code accessible to the non-technical user: 00:36:38 The next form factor for coding with AI: 00:45:12

The person who built Claude Code just explained how he is using it "Now I just have an army of agents that are doing stuff" Only 18 minutes, the best Claude guide on the internet right now. Boris Cherny covered: > how Claude Code is moving beyond just engineers > routines for CI, code review, and daily workflows > why the loop is the next big leap > working with hundreds of agents at once everything is already running through agents, ignoring this is not an option that's exactly why I wrote a full guide on how to build one yourself with Claude Code article below
