Best of the Pod: Inside the Claude Code Workflow That 15× Their Output

In this episode of the podcast, Dan Shipper interviews Kieran Klaassen and Nityesh Agarwal from Every's AI email assistant, Quora, about their innovative approach to engineering using AI. They discuss "compounding engineering," where each task makes subsequent work easier, and how they've integrated AI into all aspects of development, not just coding. Kieran demonstrates Claude Code, a coding agent from Anthropic, highlighting its ability to access the computer's directory, run commands, and search the web, making it useful for research, workflows, and more. Nityesh compares Claude Code to other tools like Cursor and Windsurf, emphasizing its simplicity and power. They also share their workflow, which involves using a custom prompt to generate detailed GitHub issues and running multiple AI agents in parallel. The episode concludes with a tier list ranking of various AI coding agents and a discussion of the importance of testing and evaluating AI-generated code and prompts.
