I've been hesitant to dive into using Claude Code, but I recently came across a really helpful walkthrough by an Anthropic engineer. It covers setting up workflows, using memory and markdown notes, and even integrating with other tools and bash. I'm sharing this because I think it could really help anyone looking to learn the ropes or pick up some useful tips. Has anyone else tried using this tool effectively?

They just rolled out a VS Code extension for Claude Code! It still needs WSL, but it works quite well.
Have you tried Aider before? How do you think it stacks up against Claude Code?
It's wild that they haven’t added native Windows support yet. I mean, when the presenter says "open your laptop and type this," I bet half the audience gets stuck trying to set up WSL.
Honestly, I don't see why you'd use Windows directly when WSL is so easy to set up—takes only two minutes and fixes most issues.
Maybe 2025 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop?
