Most developers are using Claude like a fancy Google. They type a question, get an answer, and call it a day. What if I told you there's a way to 10x your coding productivity with techniques that 99% of developers don't know exist? In this episode, Nico Hartwell reveals ten battle-tested hacks from two years of building with Claude Code that will completely change how you approach AI-assisted development.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• The 200,000 token trick that lets you feed Claude entire codebases (most people max out at basic prompts)

• How to structure conversations so Claude remembers context across 50+ exchanges without losing track

• The "code archaeology" method that cuts debugging time from hours to minutes

• Why treating Claude like a junior developer (not a search engine) unlocks 3x better results

👤 Perfect for: developers, tech enthusiasts, and anyone who writes code and wants to work smarter, not harder.
