Ahoy Pirates! ⚓ Tomorrow's office hours (Thursday, Feb 5) are cancelled. I'm in a training session all day and won't be able to join. We'll be back next week at the usual time. My apologies for the late notice! Fair winds,Jay

This is by far the best use of cc. Find something that might work for your project, or that will get your project started? Grab the link and give it to cc, and ask what it thinks. What I don’t mention is do that in plan mode and ask a bunch of questions to get your use case down. Once ready, implement, or move on.

CC is smart, but it often gets stuck. When you see that happen - ie it says it can’t do something, or its solutions keep failing - TELL IT TO SEARCH THE WEB FOR BEST PRACTICES. If you’re having the problem, someone else has. Have CC go find them and bring that back to your process. That works for me 19/20 on the first try.

I was working with a community memember yesterday and we came a cross a common CC issue. It said no, something couldn’t be done, and didn’t offer another way to do it. I always tell it to find away. Sometimes I’ll have to tell it that 2-3 times before it gets to the answer. My advice is NEVER ACCEPT THE FIRST 2-3 NOs - tell it to try another way. In this case, she’ll save herself 15-20 mins filling out PDFs from client data. By invoking a slash command. Yes, we invested 1.5 hours, but that will be the last time. From now on form filling is on autopilot. Jay

Why? You can track your convos by repo in your filesystem, rather than in one long Telegram thread. How? I watched a YouTube, linked that to Clawed in Telegram and said - I want a Discord like the guy in this video for my filesystem. This is the link - https://youtu.be/YRhGtHfs1Lw?si=C2VEVu6j6VUCmSjp Whenever I want to do something and I’m not sure where or how to start, I ask Claude Code. And now Claudebot. The point is you don’t need to know how to do something to do it anymore.
