Build a REST API with Claude — From Zero to Deployed in 1 Hour

Last time we built a CLI todo app in 35 minutes. That was a local app. This time, we go bigger: a REST API that runs on the web. The goal: build a bookmark manager API with CRUD operations, pagination, search, rate limiting, tests, and a Docker setup. All with Claude Code prompts. Deploy it and get a live URL. Total time: 52 minutes from empty folder to deployed API. What We’re Building A bookmark manager REST API with these features: ...

Build a CLI Todo App in 30 Minutes with Claude Code

Can you build a working CLI application in 30 minutes using only Claude Code? I tried it. Here is exactly what happened — every prompt, every mistake, and the final result. The goal was simple: start with an empty folder, talk to Claude Code in the terminal, and end up with a fully working todo app. No manual coding. Just prompts. Spoiler: it took 35 minutes, not 30. But the result was better than expected. ...

Multi-Agent Workflows — AI Teams That Code Together

One AI agent is powerful. Multiple AI agents working together are something else entirely. One developer tasked 16 Claude agents with building a Rust-based C compiler from scratch — one agent worked on parsing, another on code generation, another on optimization passes — all communicating and validating each other’s work. Multi-agent coding is no longer theory. Anthropic released Agent Teams in February 2026, and multi-agent system inquiries surged over 1,400% in the past year. By the end of 2026, 40% of enterprise applications are expected to include task-specific AI agents. ...

MCP in Practice — Connecting AI to Your Tools

AI coding tools are powerful, but they are blind. They can read your code, but they cannot see your GitHub issues. They can write database queries, but they do not know your schema. They can suggest fixes, but they cannot check your CI pipeline. MCP changes that. The Model Context Protocol connects your AI tools to external systems — databases, GitHub, file systems, APIs, and anything else you build a server for. Think of it as USB-C for AI. One standard protocol, many connections. ...

Claude Code is the most powerful AI coding tool available today. But most developers use maybe 20% of what it can do. They type a prompt, get code back, and move on.

If you have not set up Claude Code yet, start with the Claude Code Setup Guide. This article assumes you can already run claude in your terminal and have used it for basic tasks. ...

Then it runs on a schedule, on an API call, or when a GitHub event fires — with your Mac completely off. What Is a Routine? A Routine packages three things together: ...

OpenCode vs Claude Code vs Codex: The AI Agent War Nobody Planned

In January 2026, Anthropic made a quiet change. They blocked Claude Pro and Max subscribers from using Claude through third-party tools. No announcement. No warning. Tools like OpenCode just stopped working overnight. The backlash was immediate. David Heinemeier Hansson — the creator of Ruby on Rails — posted on X: “Confirmation that Anthropic is intentionally blocking OpenCode, and any other 3P harness, in a paranoid attempt to force devs into Claude Code. Terrible policy for a company built on training models on our code, our writing, our everything.” ...

5 Claude Code Tricks Most Developers Don't Know

Most developers use Claude Code like a chatbot. Type a question, get an answer, copy the result. That is maybe 20% of what it can do. Here are 5 tricks that change how you work. 1. The ! Prefix — Run Shell Commands Instantly Type ! before any shell command in the chat and Claude runs it immediately — and reads the output. ! git log --oneline -5 ! npm test ! docker ps ! cat package.json Claude sees the result as part of your conversation. No copy-pasting terminal output into the chat. No switching windows. ...
