After a year of daily Claude Code use, I wrote everything I learned (10-part guide)

posted Originally published at www.jovweb.dev 1 min read

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Claude Code daily for about a year now and finally put together everything I’ve learned into a 10-part series. It’s completely free, no email gates, no paywalls.

What it covers:

∙Part 1: Getting Started (installation, first commands, the mindset shift)
∙Part 2: The Mental Model (how Claude Code actually “thinks”)
∙Part 3: Project Configuration (CLAUDE.md, settings, project memory)
∙Part 4: Custom Commands
∙Part 5: Skills
∙Part 6: Subagents
∙Part 7: MCP Servers
∙Part 8: Production Workflows
∙Part 9: Power User Secrets
∙Part 10: Vibe Coding Philosophy

Why I wrote it:

The gap between devs who’ve figured out Claude Code and those who haven’t is massive. I’ve seen people go from “this is frustrating” to shipping features 10x faster once they understand the structure that makes it work.

The biggest insight: it’s not about prompting tricks. It’s about setting up guardrails (git commits, tests, linters, CLAUDE.md) so Claude’s speed becomes useful instead of chaotic.

Happy to answer any questions or take feedback. What topics would you want covered that I might have missed?

I'm specifically looking for cool underground tricks and ways to use commands or skills.
