He told me his CEO - who’s never written a line of code - was running their company from an AI code editor.
I almost fell out of my chair.
OF COURSE. WHY HAD I NOT THOUGHT OF THAT.
I’ve since gotten rid of almost all of my productivity tools.
ChatGPT, Notion, Todoist, Airtable, Google Keep, Perplexity, my CRM. All gone.
That’s the lede for a piece by Derek Larson on running everything from Claude Code. I’ve covered how Claude Code is pretty brilliant and there are dozens more use cases than just coding.
But getting rid of everything and using just text files and the terminal window? Seems extreme.
Larson uses a skill in Claude Code called “/weekly” to do a weekly review.
- Claude looks at every file change since last week
- Claude evaluates the state of projects, tasks, and the roadmap
- We have a conversation to dig deeper, and make decisions
- Claude generates a document summarizing the week and plan we agreed on
Then Claude finds items he’s missed or procrastinating on, and “creates a space to dump everything” on his mind.
