Claude Code changed how I think about software development.
Not because it writes code faster (it does), but because it fundamentally changes the unit of work.
Before Claude Code: A developer writes a function.
After Claude Code: A developer defines an outcome, reviews the implementation, and owns the result.
This isn't AI replacing developers — it's AI compressing the gap between intent and execution.
Here's what the best Claude Code setups I've built have in common😍
1. A strong CLAUDE.md that defines your architecture, not just your style guide. The AI needs to understand WHY decisions were made, not just what the conventions are.
2. Custom slash commands for your team's most common workflows. /pr-review, /add-tests, /refactor-for-readability — these become institutional capabilities, not individual tricks.
3. MCP server integrations that connect Claude to your actual tools — Jira, GitHub, Linear, your internal APIs. When AI can take real actions, the value multiplies.
4. Human checkpoints at exactly the right moments. Full autonomy on boilerplate. Human review on architecture decisions. The teams that get this right 10x the others.

Rebuilt my portfolio with AI and added new case studies.
Brand, web, and product UI. All custom coded, all in one page.
One page with brand, web and product UI together is a strong move. Clients see the range without clicking around. Rebuilding mine with AI coding tools taught me the same thing: the speed lets you spend the saved time on the case study writing, which is what actually wins work.
I just added an in-app AI builder to Pro Studio, and I’m excited to share it with the Contra community.
Pro Studio is a tool I built for creating Kajabi websites and landing pages. Now you can describe what you want to build directly inside the app, and the AI can create it for you. You can keep refining the page through conversation, then export it as a Kajabi theme.
You can sign up, build, and experiment for free. You only pay when you’re ready to export to Kajabi.
I think this could be especially useful for designers and Kajabi professionals who want to explore ideas and build out pages before committing to an export.
Give it a try: https://tryprostudio.com
I’d love to hear what you think!
Exporting straight to a Kajabi theme after refining through conversation is a really practical loop, Kajabi layouts can be fiddly to build by hand. Nice addition to Pro Studio.
Explaining "unlimited development" in 30 seconds is harder than it sounds.
That was the brief from figue.ai: a subscription where startups get a dev team without hiring one. Great product, but abstract. So I skipped the buzzwords and showed what it actually feels like: you ask, it gets built, you ask again.
Every interface in the video is rebuilt from scratch, so the product feels real instead of mocked up.
Really enjoyed this one! If you're launching something that's hard to explain, that's exactly the kind of project I love.
