Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This dev switched from Cursor to Claude Code, finding that it feels much better for real development work. He works with it by creating a Claude.md file as onboarding documentation for the AI, following an "Explore → Plan → Code" workflow instead of jumping straight to implementation, and using features like custom slash commands and screenshot sharing to maximize productivity.
