How Boris Cherny Uses Claude Code

Boris Cherny discusses his methodology for using Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, sharing practical tips and workflows for integrating it into software development to improve productivity and code quality.

Background

- Boris Cherny is a well-known engineer, author of "Programming TypeScript," and a former engineering manager at companies like Facebook/Meta. He's currently building software at the intersection of AI and developer tools. - Claude Code is Anthropic's command-line interface (CLI) tool that lets developers run Claude (Anthropic's large language model) directly in their terminal to write, edit, and debug code collaboratively. - This page is likely a personal post or project page where Cherny shares his workflow, tips, or case studies for using Claude Code on real-world coding tasks — not an official Anthropic resource. - It matters because Cherny is a respected figure in the TypeScript and developer-tooling world, so his practical insights on pairing an AI coding assistant with a serious engineering workflow carry weight for other engineers evaluating whether and how to adopt such tools.

    Newer Claude models sometimes invent extra keys in tool call arguments, breaking validation in Pi's edit tool. The author suspects post-training for Claude Code's forgiving harness makes alternative schemas fail. This suggests closed RL training can degrade general tool-use reliability.

    Simon Willison released llm-coding-agent 0.1a0, an experimental coding agent built on his LLM library. The agent provides tools for reading, editing, searching files and executing commands, and ships with a Python API and CLI. It was developed using Claude Code (Fable 5) via TDD with a spec-first approach, and is available as a slop-alpha on PyPI.
