title: The Secrets of Claude Code From the Engineers Who Built It
description: >-
  At Every, the team credits Claude Code with transforming the way they work.
  They now ship to codebases they barely know, each new feature makes the next
  easier to build, and even non-technical teammates confidently use the
  terminal. To explore how this happened, AI & I host Dan Shipper invited Claude
  Code’s creators—Cat Wu (@_catwu) and Boris Cherny (@bcherny) from Anthropic
  AI—to discuss what they’ve learned from building one of the most beloved AI
  engineering tools in the world. This episode is a must-watch for
  anyone—technical or not—who wants to understand how to use Claude Code like
  the people who built it. If you found this episode interesting, please like,
