How to Make Claude Code Better Every Time You Use It | Kieran Klaassen
About this episode
Kieran my favorite Claude Code power user and teacher. In our interview, he walked through his Compound Engineering system that makes Claude Code better every time you use it. This same system has been embraced by the Claude Code team and others. Kieran is like Morpheus introducing me to the matrix, so don’t miss this episode 🙂
