Quick win I’ve been loving lately working with Claude Code.

I’m still getting up to speed on workflow orchestration, so I’m approving every change and doing much of the work by hand — because I want to truly understand the code being generated, not just accept it.

My current setup: Claude Code in one terminal window, a shell in another, a browser open to the n8n UI, and a semantic versioning groove going with GitHub.

A couple of times I’ve needed to take a break of unknown length. Before stepping away, I had Claude write out a feature implementation document as a markdown file — a living record of what needs to be done, where I left off, and what comes next. I love this pattern even when I’m not pausing.

The result: a fourth window added to my workflow — a markdown editor, always open to the feature implementation guide.

Developing with structure and context, using AI as a pairing partner and not as a cognitive replacement, is genuinely fun.
