🎂 Happy 1st birthday to Claude Code Thanks everyone for coming out and celebrating with us!!

Hey @nikitabier I'm trying to make a 12-post thread, but X keeps posting just 6 of 12, and not letting me add more. Seems like a new bug

Thanks for having me on the pod @gregisenberg!

We just open sourced the code-simplifier agent we use on the Claude Code team. Try it: claude plugin install code-simplifier Or from within a session: /plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official /plugin install code-simplifier Ask Claude to use the code simplifier agent at the end of a long coding session, or to clean up complex PRs. Let us know what you think!

Thanks for having me on the pod @garrytan! I joined a YC startup back in the early days of YC in 2011. It’s crazy how much has changed for founders building today vs back then. Small teams (and their Claudes) can do so much now!

Did you know that Claude Code is more than a terminal CLI? Claude Code is also available in: - IDE extensions for every VSCode and Jetbrains-based IDE - Claude Desktop, web, iOS, and Android apps - Slack and Github Learn more: code.claude.com Claude Code overview - Claude Code Docs From code.claude.com

Cowork just organized 6 months of receipts into a categorized spreadsheet with monthly breakdowns. Pointed it at a folder. That’s it.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit. My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently. So, here goes.

Love seeing how Spotify is shipping with Claude Code. Their best developers haven't written a single line of code since December, they fix bugs from their phones, and they shipped 50+ features from Slack during morning commutes https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/spotif…

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!

A small quality of life detail: you can now press tab to add more instructions when accepting/rejecting a permission prompt. We tried probably a dozen iterations of this UX over the last few weeks before deciding to ship this one. Let us know what you think!

A few of you asked how to disable auto-generated terminal titles in Claude Code CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE=1 claude You can also add that env var to the “env” section of your settings.json
