Happy New Year 🥳 y'all! Launched a digital journal to record your professional wins. I developed this using a framework which I reveal in the journal. Included is an AI prompt to make this your personal win coach using custom GPTs/agents. 🎁 topmate.io/rapti/1371473

The creator of Claude Code Teaches more about vibe-coding in 30 minutes than most paid tutorials do in 10 hours. Absolutely Free. From the guy who built the tool. Save it. Watch tonight. It'll change how you build forever. You've been using Claude Code wrong for months without knowing it. This fixes that in 30 minutes. Follow @codewithimanshu for more high-signal content that actually moves your career forward. ↓ Boris runs technical staff at Anthropic. He built Claude Code. He just gave away the entire playbook. This is the talk that separates people making $10K/month with AI coding from people still Googling "how to fix this error." Here's everything he covers in 30 minutes. Follow @codewithimanshu, I break down a video like this. ↓ Installation and setup the right way. Not the wrong way you did it. `npm install` to get Claude Code running. `terminal setup` to enable Shift Enter for new lines and themes. GitHub app integration to @-mention Claude directly on issues and pull requests. Mac users: system-level dictation for hands-free prompting. Most people skip these steps and wonder why their Claude Code workflow feels clunky. Follow @codewithimanshu For Full Claude Code setup guides. ↓ The workflow most users miss entirely. Codebase Q&A is the real starting point. Not "write me code." Ask Claude about your codebase first. It explores locally. No indexing. No data upload. You can ask: > Why was this function written this way? > What did I ship this week? > What's the git history of this file? Understand the codebase before you touch it. That's how senior engineers think. That's how Claude Code wants to work with you. Follow @codewithimanshu for more high-signal content that actually moves your career forward. ↓ Interactive coding that actually ships. Claude uses file editing, bash commands, and file search to execute tasks in real time. Boris's rule: brainstorm and plan BEFORE you trigger code generation. Skip the planning step and you get garbage. Do the planning step and Claude ships production-ready code. This alone is the difference between "AI wrote my app" and "AI wrote an app that actually works." More ship-ready Claude prompts already posted on @codewithimanshu. ↓ Tool integration nobody uses. Custom CLI tools. MCP servers. Integrated directly into your Claude Code workflow. Claude calls your tools. Uses your data. Executes tasks across your entire stack. This is where Claude Code stops being a coding assistant and starts being a full engineering team. Follow @codewithimanshu for MCP server breakdowns every week. ↓ Iterative feedback loops. Give Claude access to your unit tests. It refines until they pass. Give Claude screenshots of your UI. It iterates until the design matches. Most people run Claude Code once and accept the first output. The best users build feedback loops that let Claude improve itself. I share the exact feedback loops I use daily. ↓ Context management: Claude MD. Place a `claude(dot)md` file in your project root. Persistent context. Shared across every session. Enterprise config for global policies across teams. This is the file that separates hobby Claude Code users from production users. I'll post my full claude(dot)md template next week. Follow me @codewithimanshu. ↓ Slash commands and memory. `/memory` to view or modify how Claude remembers instructions. Slash commands for automating complex workflows. Example: auto-labeling GitHub issues with one command. Slash command library coming soon on @codewithimanshu. ↓ Pro key bindings Boris drops at the end. Shift Tab: auto-accept mode for edits. Saves hours. !Command: execute a bash command and pipe output into context. Escape: safely stop Claude without corrupting your session. Drag and drop images. Paste screenshots for UI implementation. Multimodal from day one. Follow me @codewithimanshu for Daily Claude Code tips. ↓ 30 minutes from the guy who built the tool. You'll learn more from this than from 50 YouTube tutorials made by people who've never shipped production code with Claude. This is where the gap gets built. People who watch it understand Claude Code at the architect level. People who skip it keep copying commands they don't understand. Save the video. Watch it tonight. Build something tomorrow.

Anthropic leaked 512,000 lines of Claude Code source code yesterday. What happened in the next 12 hours is absolutely wild. 4 AM. Anthropic pushes an update to npm. Inside the package: their entire codebase. A 60 MB debugging file accidentally bundled in. 23 minutes later, researcher Chaofan Shou spots it. Downloads the zip. Posts it on X. Within 6 hours: 3 million views. By the time Anthropic’s team woke up, the code was forked 41,000 times across GitHub. Anthropic started firing DMCA takedowns. Too late. A Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up to his phone exploding. He’s Claude Code’s biggest power user. WSJ reported he burned through 25 billion tokens last year. He read the leaked code. Rewrote the entire thing in Python in 8 hours. His repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any GitHub project in history. Then he rewrote it again in Rust. That version now has 49,000 stars. Someone mirrored it to a decentralized platform with one message: “will never be taken down.” The code is permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back. Here’s the part I can’t stop thinking about: Anthropic built something called “Undercover Mode.” Its only job: prevent Claude from accidentally leaking internal secrets. They shipped an entire anti-leak system in their own product. Then leaked their own source code in a .map file. Irony is beautiful

After much reflection, and after it became clear to me that some UN seniors are serving a powerful lobby and not the UN, I have decided to suspend all my duties as PVA Main Representative at the UN and from all UN committees/groups of which I am a member. I cannot in good conscience be part of or witness to what is happening at a time when the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use. It has been an honor cooperating with the UN for nearly 12 years under different Secretaries-General and Human Rights Council Presidents, leading PVA delegation. May God bless this world.

Unhealed personal wounds and past power struggles between the leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic are defining how the world now encounters the technology. on.wsj.com/4105lwi

Han Kang began her career in 1993 as a poet but has since written mainly novels and short stories. In her oeuvre, she confronts historical traumas and invisible sets of rules and, in each of her works, exposes the fragility of human life.

What a marvellous story! A Kerala bookseller “has chosen to mark his son's wedding not with spectacle, but with the silent grace of literature”. Subair, who for 35 years has run a bookstall in Palakkad, has brought out a special collection of Malayalam short stories titled “Sadaram”, a book that “breathes friendship, gratitude, and the scent of ink from a lifetime among words” which will be gifted to every family attending the wedding reception on Sunday. newindianexpress.com/states/…

I have some ideas, but how do I kickstart a community? Me: Big communities don’t start big. They start with a coffee. ☕ Host a “Minimum Viable Gathering” (MVG). New fellow builders: WTF is MVG? 😅 Me: Let me share an example 👇 Today, India has SaaSBoomi — India’s pay-it-forward community of SaaS founders. Indian SaaS founders are sorted! But back in 2013, India’s SaaS founders were struggling to co-learn, build, and scale. @AneeshBReddy (Capillary co-founder) began hosting roundtables in his office for other founders who hadn’t yet found a growth path.

Just show up.

My screen time was getting out of hand 😐 So I came up with the '10 Levels of Smartphone Dedication' 🧵 This might just cure you.

Been a resident of HSR since 2016, I have seen this n'hood mushroom from being the lazy cousin of K'mgala housing retired govt officers to now being THE startup capital. Excited to put together HSR Founders Club's uniquely curated GTM Festival RSVP: lu.ma/5y1ovs3h

It’s the OG salt bae’s birthday today.

I built Iris, a wearable that gives you infinite memory of your life. It takes a picture every minute, captions and organizes them into a timeline, and uses AI to help you remember forgotten details. Iris also has a focus mode. It notices when you get distracted and proactively tells you to get back on track.
