James Phoenix — Claude Code Masterclass — The Bootstrapped Founder 409

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

​

Dear founder,

​

James Phoenix is an expert in agentic coding, particularly Claude code, a tool that I have been using to great effect over the last couple months.

I chatted with James just a couple days ago and have implemented several of the tips that he gave me during a conversation, and I'm already almost twice as effective at using this already magically effective tool.

So I don't think I can overpromise how much insight into well-structured and highly optimized agentic coding you will get from this conversation.

Podcast, YouTube, Blog Dear founder, I think we’re at the precipice of a pretty significant change in how we build software products. Obviously, the recent ascent of vibe coding and all the agentic coding tools that we find very useful and highly effective shows a difference in how we approach building products. But there’s another change - not just in how we build, but in who these products are for. THE BOOTSTRAPPED FOUNDER • EPISODE 410 410: Building for the Age of AI Consumers 23:34 MORE...
