Claude Essentials for Engineers [5/19/2026] (Recording)

Most engineers use Claude like a smarter autocomplete. Type a prompt, read the answer, type again. That's not a workflow — that's just waiting. In this 45-minute live session, I'll show you exactly how I've configured Claude to work in the background while I keep shipping. You'll see my real setup: Git worktrees running parallel agents on separate branches, async notifications that ping me when Claude's done, skills that produce production-quality output every time, and a CLAUDE.md that gives Claude deep context on my codebase without me repeating myself. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH → Git worktrees set up so you can run multiple Claude agents simultaneously without branch chaos → An async notification workflow that frees you from watching progress bars → A reusable skill you can use to get consistent, high-quality output on repeat tasks → A CLAUDE.md file structure that makes Claude immediately useful in any project WHO THIS IS FOR This session is built for engineers at all levels — whether you've never heard of CLAUDE.md or you're already using Claude daily and want to go deeper. Non-technical founders who work alongside engineering teams will also find the workflow principles directly applicable. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Everything in this session comes from shipping real projects with Claude. No theory, no slides full of bullet points. I'll be live in my actual environment, showing the tools and configs I use every day. You'll leave with things you can set up in under 30 minutes — and that will still be working for you months from now.
