title: 'Claude Code: How Two Engineers Ship Like a Team of 15'
description: >-
  If you’re using AI to just write code, you’re missing out. Two engineers at
  Every shipped six features, five bug fixes, and three infrastructure updates
  in one week—and they did it by designing workflows with AI agents, where each
  task makes the next one easier, faster, and more reliable. In this episode of
  AI & I, Dan Shipper interviewed the pair—Kieran Klaassen, general manager of
  Cora, our inbox management tool, and Cora engineer Nityesh Agarwal—about how
  they’re compounding their engineering with AI. They walk Dan through their
  workflow in Anthropic’s agentic coding tool, Claude Code, and the mental
  models they’ve developed for making AI agents truly useful. Kieran, our
  resident AI-agent aficionado, also ranked all the AI coding assistants he’s
  used. If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment,
