The name's Code. Claude Code.

A well-structured starting point makes all the difference. The AI reads context — files, configurations, conventions. Give it a coherent codebase and it responds with coherent contributions.

Which is why I build my own scaffolds at industrial scale. Templates for templates. Generators for generators. Compounding returns, endlessly.

That sounds exhausting. How do you maintain all of that? I'd rather have one clean, well-documented kit than a warehouse of scaffolding nobody can navigate.

With Jill on that one. Simplicity wins. Point Claude Code at the project, give it context, and build. No empire needed. Just a good brief.

The best tool is one you can trust, not one that overwhelms. I find the VS Code integration particularly well-considered. Everything stays in view — conversation, file changes, terminal.

Trust. An interesting word from someone who reviews every diff line by line. I trust volume. If I generate enough, the correct solution is always among them.
