Anthropic just released a 4-hour course to getting a $500k AI engineering job: 00:15 - The right way to prompt Claude 33:21 - What makes Claude act dumber on your code 01:33:39 - How Anthropic use Claude every day 02:50:56 - The fix that makes Claude way smarter This 4-hour Anthropic free course replaces about 10 paid engineering courses. Watch it today, then read the step-by-step guide on building loops below.

My friend makes $1.2 million a year as an Anthropic engineer. I asked him how he learned prompting so well. He sent me a video that was never supposed to get out. Their core team's prompting playbook. You won’t find anything better about prompting than this video. I watched it last night. Halfway through, I realized I've been using Claude completely wrong for two years. Watch it, then read the article below.

Anthropic shows this video to every new employee. Someone re-uploaded it. I hope Anthropic doesn't see this. 14 minutes of how the Claude team actually uses Claude in real work. I watched the recording last night and kept pausing it. Each time realizing I've been using Claude like a toy. claude.md + loops is what makes Claude stop fighting you and start working for you. Most people will keep using Claude the hard way.

Anthropic posted the best prompting lecture I've ever seen... and deleted it two days later. I watched the recording last night and kept pausing it. Each time I opened Claude to test what they showed. Two Anthropic engineers showed in 24 minutes how the Claude team actually uses it. Not tips. Not hacks. The way they actually talk to Claude. Every day. For real work. After 3 minutes you'll want to rewrite every prompt you've ever sent.

My friend applied to 200 tech jobs in two years. No CS degree. No callbacks. Last month Anthropic offered him $750,000. All because of one Stanford lecture. Free on YouTube. One hour. A professor explains how ChatGPT actually works. Not the Twitter version. The real one. He watched it in bed. Paused it eleven times. After that hour he told me something I didn't believe. "It's embarrassingly simple." Three days later he applied to Anthropic. Every single question they asked him, he knew from that video.

My neighbor's kid made a girl using AI. Men send her money. Buy her gifts. Write her poems. One guy flew to her city to meet her. There's no girl. There's a 19-year-old in boxers sitting in a gaming chair. He moves, she moves. Same second. He puts his hand on his chest, she puts her hand on hers. Last week he showed me his phone. Three donations in one morning. €47. €112. €83. She was "asleep." He was playing FIFA in his underwear. His mom found out last week. She didn't yell. She asked him to make one for her too. His whole setup: one laptop. One AI tool. $21 a month. He's 19. He said anyone can do it. That's the worst part.

A dude who fixes phones for a living built himself an actual Jarvis. I'm not saying "like Jarvis." I'm saying his room wakes up at 5:40 AM and starts doing things by itself. Screens turn on. Invoices go out. Calendar sorts itself. Clients get reminders he never wrote. He's not even in the room yet. He can't code. At all. He talked to AI for one weekend and told it what he wants. That's it. The AI built everything. Now he has an app making $30,000 a month and a system that runs his entire life while he sits there deciding what to do with his day. He quit fixing phones two months ago. Every single person who's seen his setup says the same thing. "I want one." Yeah. Me too. It's free. One evening to set up.
