Between Cole and myself, we’ve logged thousands of hours working in tools like Claude Code. So I sat down with him to break down how to actually direct your coding agents instead of just prompting and praying.
We get into the planning and verification system that separates real results from vibe coding, why every model has a "dumb zone" where it starts missing obvious things, and how to chain multiple agent sessions together so one big task doesn't fall apart halfway through.
Cole also shares how he thinks about security, treating every bug as a permanent upgrade, and the Claude Code features he leans on most. Whether or not you write code, the mindset applies directly to using AI for real work.
