A few weeks ago, I wrote about “Stop Asking Claude Code to ‘Build Me an App’ – Here’s How to Actually Get What You Want”, where I shared my PRD brainstorming workflow with Claude 4 Opus. I thought I had the perfect system. Then GPT-5 thinking mode entered the scene… This is where I realized…

I just discovered a workflow that completely changed how I approach complex integrations with Claude Code. It started with a simple question: “How do I use Reddit’s API without OAuth2?” It ended with GPT-5 generating the most comprehensive, project-aware Claude Code prompt I’ve ever seen. Let me show you how this works, because once you…

A few months ago, I presented a talk called “Build Your First WordPress Plugin with The Power of AI (Even if You Can’t Code!)” at WordCamp Johor Bharu 2025. The room was divided. The tech folks? Their eyes lit up like Christmas trees. Everyone else? They looked like I’d just explained quantum physics in ancient…

I had the perfect idea for a WordPress plugin. You know that feeling, right? The excitement. The possibilities. The “this could actually help thousands of people” energy. I opened Claude Code, ready to describe my vision and watch it come to life. But then I stopped. Because I’d learned this lesson the hard way. Ask…

You fire up Claude Code and type “build me a task management app.” You hit enter, feeling clever. Claude Code starts generating code. Components. Database schemas. Authentication logic. And then… it’s nothing like what you imagined. Not because Claude Code isn’t powerful enough. But because it literally can’t read your mind. This is the mistake…

Claude Code is incredible. Until it tries to turn your simple feature into NASA’s mission control system. You know exactly what I mean. “Add email OTP login” becomes a 12-file authentication framework.“Update the API route” spawns an entire middleware ecosystem.“Fix this type error” somehow requires restructuring half your app. I’ve been building Next.js app with…

You know the feeling. You’re crushing it with Claude Code. Then boom: “Usage limit reached. Reset at 6PM.” Your flow? Dead. Your momentum? Gone. Your afternoon? Wasted. If you’re on Claude Pro, this happens constantly. Some heavy users burn through their entire quota in just 1-2 hours. Max plan would solve this (5x or 20x…

Let me tell you about the most underrated feature in Claude Code. It’s not in the documentation. Few people talk about it. And if you’re not using it, you’re working 10x harder than you need to. Last week, I built a complete Gemini API proxy server in less than 30 minutes. Not a prototype. Not…

Have you ever encountered this before? You sit down to code, ask your AI for help, and then spend half your time re-explaining the same project details you explained yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that. It’s like Groundhog Day for developers, and it’s killing your flow. I’ve been there. I’d start a coding session with…
