🔟 THE TAKEAWAY.AI coding is morphing weekly. Today Claude Code rules my terminal; tomorrow another tool might. Stay tool-agnostic, workflow-obsessed, and keep shipping. Follow for live experiments, wins, and brutal fails. #AItools #DeveloperLife 🚀.

9️⃣ WHO SHOULD JUMP?.Indie devs or teams shipping production code daily. If each saved hour earns $$, Claude Code pays for itself in a week. Otherwise, Cursor remains excellent—and cheaper.

8️⃣ PAIN POINTS.• No “rewind chat” like Cursor → rely on git. • Some runs take 30 min—interrupts flow. • $200 not hobby-friendly. If coding isn’t your income, stick to free/cheap tools.

7️⃣ COST REALITY.🤑 Best results = $200/mo Max plan. Anything cheaper throttles hard (I hit the $20 cap in 10 minutes). But ROI is wild: week of heavy use ≈ $3 k+ in token spend, yet billed $200 flat. Anthropic is subsidizing us—for now.

6️⃣ DOUBLE-CHECK TRICK.After Claude ships a change, ask it to self-review: “Find edge cases & confirm nothing broke.” Catches silent failures and gives peace of mind—like a built-in senior dev.

5️⃣ PARALLEL AGENTS.Need big refactors? Spin up 10 sub-agents to attack chunks simultaneously. My iOS→Android port ran in parallel, finishing hours sooner. Agent swarms are the new build farm. 🐜➡️🚀.

4️⃣ POWER MOVES.🖼️ Drag screenshots for instant context (bug traces, Figma shots). 📂 Drop entire folders from other repos—Claude triangulates cross-code logic. 🔗 Paste docs URLs—or just say “grab latest Calendar API.” It browses for you.

3️⃣ SETUP—3-STEP BOOTSTRAP. claude init → auto-creates (its “memory”). Always start in Plan Mode (Shift+Tab) ➜ Review game-plan ➜ Approve or revise. Git = checkpoint system. Commit early; roll back instantly if the AI derails.

2️⃣ WHY THE SWITCH?.Claude Code lives in the terminal, not the editor—yet it solves bugs Opus/Max stumbled on. Complex drag-drop UI? ✅ 30 min. Multi-calendar sync? ✅ 1 hr. Cursor needed hours… or days. Speed kills. 🔥.

1️⃣.⚡ Two months in AI-coding time = 2 years IRL. I just ditched my beloved Cursor agents for Claude Code—and the productivity jump is ridiculous. Here’s the full why/how, plus pro tips you can swipe TODAY 👇.#AIdev #CodingWorkflow.

🔟.Productivity = systems × subtraction × smart leverage. Automate once—harvest forever. Follow for real workflows, live experiments, and zero-fluff insights. #TimeManagement #AI #BuildInPublic 🚀.

9️⃣.🎙️ Walking Retros.Weekly stroll → dictate wins & stumbles. Transcriber turns speech to text; language model reshapes into a self-coaching brief. Reflection happens while steps add up—mind and body in sync.

8️⃣.🧠 Prompt Vault.3-line templates for: refactor, summarize, “polite decline,” outline, brainstorm. Tokens are cheap; cognitive switching is expensive. Store cues, not just docs.

7️⃣.📈 Live Focus Score.Formula: (deep-work minutes ÷ screen minutes) × progress delta. Drop below 1.2? Phone locks distractions for an hour. Numbers don’t lie; willpower can nap.

6️⃣.🗓️ Theme Days > Hour Blocks.Mon = Build.Tue = Connect.Wed = Learn.Thu = Automate.Fri = Ship & Reflect.AI nudges if I drift; deep focus survives the calendar storm.

5️⃣.📂 Nightly Cold Storage.At shutdown, a script sweeps messages, clips, bookmarks → archive. Dawn review shows only actionable threads. Context preserved, mental RAM cleared.

4️⃣.🤖 Rule of Three.Do something manually three times? Script it. Background agents now draft emails, rename files, push data. Hours saved accumulate like compound interest—silent, relentless.

3️⃣.⏳ 15-Minute Micro-Sprints.— Start timer.— Ask the model to outline next steps.— Code / write / design nonstop.— Bell rings → commit, log, break.Tiny cycles = zero inertia. Velocity beats volume.

2️⃣.🔄 Input : Output symmetry.For every new idea that enters my capture doc, one existing task must ship or die. An AI watcher tracks ratio; if it tilts, I get a single push alert: “Close a loop before you open one.”.

⚡ Productivity isn’t about adding apps—it’s about removing friction. This thread = the lean, AI-assisted system that keeps my solo builds shipping while my inbox stays silent. Steal the pieces that click 👇.#Productivity #SoloBuilder.
