Listen "“AI #150: While Claude Codes” by Zvi"
Episode Synopsis
Claude Code is the talk of the town, and of the Twitter. It has reached critical mass.
Suddenly, everyone is talking about how it is transforming their workflows. This includes non-coding workflows, as it can handle anything a computer can do. People are realizing the power of what it can do, building extensions and tools, configuring their setups, and watching their worlds change.
I’ll be covering that on its own soon. This covers everything else, including ChatGPT Health and the new rounds from xAI and Anthropic.
