- David Pierce used Claude Code to pull notes from many apps into Obsidian without manual copying.
- He told Claude where his data lived and the tool automated the busywork of consolidating meeting notes and transcripts.

- Vibe coding (prompting LLMs to write code) has reached real product-market fit for practical software tasks.
- Boris Cherny says Opus 4.5 was the inflection: models began writing, testing, and fixing code so he no longer edits source files manually.

- Claude Code began as a developer terminal tool but non-developers adopted it rapidly, revealing broader use cases.
- Anthropic launched CoWork to offer a safer, less technical surface because product managers and data scientists were using the terminal agent.
