How to turn Claude Code into your personal life operating system | Hilary Gridley

How to turn Claude Code into your personal life operating system | Hilary Gridley

Hilary Gridley is an entrepreneur, former product leader, and new mom who previously appeared on the podcast discussing AI for managers. She returns to share how she's transformed her approach to personal productivity using Claude Code as her primary tool for managing both professional work and life admin. Hilary demonstrates her "anti-system system"—a philosophy that prioritizes simplicity over complex setup, allowing AI to learn preferences through observation rather than upfront configuration.What you’ll learn:How to capture to-dos instantly using a simple iPhone back-tap shortcut that requires zero app switchingThe “10x impact...

How Stripe built “minions”—AI coding agents that ship 1,300 PRs weekly from Slack reactions | Steve Kaliski (Stripe engineer)

How Stripe built “minions”—AI coding agents that ship 1,300 PRs weekly from Slack reactions | Steve Kaliski (Stripe engineer)

Steve Kaliski is a software engineer at Stripe who has spent the past six and a half years building developer tools and payment infrastructure. He’s part of the team that created “minions”—Stripe’s internal AI coding agents, which now ship approximately 1,300 pull requests per week with minimal human intervention beyond code review. In this episode, Steve demonstrates how Stripe engineers activate development work from Slack and leverage cloud-based development environments for parallel agent workflows, and demos machine-to-machine payments where AI agents transact autonomously with third-party services.What you’ll learn:How Stripe’s “mi...

How Microsoft's AI VP automates everything with Warp | Marco Casalaina

How Microsoft's AI VP automates everything with Warp | Marco Casalaina

Marco Casalaina, VP of Core AI Products and AI Futurist at Microsoft, demonstrates how he uses AI tools to automate administrative tasks that typically consume valuable time. Rather than using Warp as a coding assistant (its primary marketed purpose), Marco leverages it to manage Azure resources, scan documents, compress videos, and more. He shows how these “micro-agents” can reduce friction in everyday workflows, allowing him to focus on higher-value activities. Marco also demonstrates how Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT can create triggered workflows that respond to emails or check for information on a schedule, highlighting how the line between consuming and...

From journalist to iOS developer: How LinkedIn’s editor builds with Claude Code | Daniel Roth

Daniel Roth, editor in chief at LinkedIn, went from business writer to iOS app developer, without ever learning how to code. Using Claude Code, Daniel built and shipped multiple production-ready iOS apps to the App Store, including Commutely, a personalized train-tracking app for New York commuters.What you’ll learn:How to set up a dual-agent Claude Code system (builder + reviewer)Why being a “picky customer” is the right mindset for non-technical buildersHow Daniel prioritizes features using AI-ranked impact vs. build timeWhy saving everything as Markdown files creates long-term contextThe importance of branch-based develo...

From Figma to Claude Code and back | Gui Seiz & Alex Kern (Figma)

From Figma to Claude Code and back | Gui Seiz & Alex Kern (Figma)

Most teams are still passing static design files back and forth, and most Figma files are already out of date by the time they reach engineering. Gui Seiz (designer) and Alex Kern (engineer) from Figma walk through the exact workflow their team uses to bridge that gap with AI, live onscreen. They demo how to pull a running web app directly into Figma using the Figma MCP, edit it collaboratively, and push it back to code. The old linear waterfall workflow is gone. What replaces it is a fluid, bidirectional loop where design and code inform each other in...

How Coinbase scaled AI to 1,000+ engineers | Chintan Turakhia

How Coinbase scaled AI to 1,000+ engineers | Chintan Turakhia

Chintan Turakhia is Senior Director of Engineering at Coinbase, where he’s led the transformation of a 1,000-plus-engineer organization to embrace AI tools at scale. When tasked with rewriting Coinbase’s self-custody wallet into a consumer social app in just six to nine months, Chintan turned to AI as a force multiplier. His team has achieved remarkable efficiency gains, including reducing PR review times from 150 hours to just 15 hours, and dramatically compressing the cycle from user feedback to shipped features.What you’ll learn:How to drive AI adoption in large, established engineering organi...

5 OpenClaw agents run my home, finances, and code | Jesse Genet

5 OpenClaw agents run my home, finances, and code | Jesse Genet

Jesse Genet is a homeschooling parent and entrepreneur who runs her household with five specialized OpenClaw agents. She layers them on top of her Obsidian “second brain,” deploys each on its own Mac Mini, and assigns every agent a distinct role—homeschool, finance, scheduling, development, and operations—so each one operates with clear scope and responsibility.What you’ll learn:How Jesse set up five OpenClaw agents, each with its own role, persona, SOUL.md file, and dedicated Mac MiniThe workflow for photographing an entire curriculum book and having an agent generate formatted, ready-to-t...

“I haven’t written a single line of front-end code in 3 months”: How Notion’s design team uses Claude Code to prototype

“I haven’t written a single line of front-end code in 3 months”: How Notion’s design team uses Claude Code to prototype

Brian Lovin is a designer at Notion AI who has transformed how the design team builds prototypes, by creating a shared code environment powered by Claude Code. Instead of designers working in isolated repositories or limited to static Figma designs, Brian built a collaborative “prototype playground” where the entire team can create, share, and iterate on functional prototypes. In this episode, Brian demonstrates how AI-assisted coding has dramatically accelerated the design process and why code-based prototyping is essential for building AI-powered products.What you’ll learn:How Brian built a shared Next.js app th...

Claude Opus 4.6 vs. GPT-5.3 Codex: How I shipped 93,000 lines of code in 5 days

Claude Opus 4.6 vs. GPT-5.3 Codex: How I shipped 93,000 lines of code in 5 days

I put the newest AI coding models from OpenAI and Anthropic head-to-head, testing them on real engineering work I’m actually doing. I compare GPT-5.3 Codex with Opus 4.6 (and Opus 4.6 Fast) by asking them to redesign my marketing website and refactor some genuinely gnarly components. Through side-by-side experiments, I break down where each model shines—creative development versus code review—and share how I’m thinking about combining them to build a more effective AI engineering stack.—What you’ll learn:The strengths and weaknesses of OpenAI’s Codex vs. Anthropic’s Opus for different coding...
