Any tips when installing and setting Claude code for the first time? PC user here, not sure if it makes a difference

Following Rod Macbeth's post yesterday about Boris Cherny's X thread on Claude Code tips (https://www.skool.com/ai-marketing-insiders/claude-code-tips-from-the-creator?p=de65df2f). I explored the content with Claude. Many points focused on coding activities, but point 10 on learning with Claude stood out. I asked Claude to expand on how this actually works. Today I had a practical example. My calendar times were showing 30 minutes off in my daily briefings. The fix took some back and forth, but what happened next was new. Claude Code updated two things automatically: - The workflow node that caused the problem - Its own project documentation (CLAUDE md) with the lesson learned So next time it encounters a similar datetime format issue in this project, it already knows the solution. The learning persists. I have attached the summary it produced. The key insight for non-coders: Claude Code can build institutional memory for your specific project, not just fix individual problems. Also CLAUDE md is your most valuable asset to maintain.

My latest video shows how to create Claude Code Skills using three different methods. Claude Code Skills are the holy grail of context and will help you get the best results possible with AI IMO. Skills have an instant feedback loop that you can continually update, and they are just markdown files that you can use with Codex, Gemini CLI, and other AI coding agents. Pro Tip: You can find all of the Prompts I mention in the video here - https://www.skool.com/ai-marketing-insiders/classroom/1860140a?md=a6a86291561d4d5e94cbe97b1c0984e3 Be sure to like/comment/share if you found this helpful 🙂

I have a client who I do email marketing for. An e-commerce business here in Germany. They used to have a freelance designer who helped with their marketing. Once the business owner became aware of Nano Banana he decided he does not need the designers services any longer. This has two effects: - He is saving costs, yes. - But the quality of his designs has noticeably suffered. And this is something I see a lot. With designs, with copy, probably with code coming next. A race to the bottom in terms of quality by using AI in an effort to reduce costs. Will it be worth it for the business? Hard to tell. Maybe we will see two kinds of businesses, one with low quality, somewhat exchangeable outputs. And then on the other hand premium brands with high quality human made content.
