## Resource

Today’s episode Claude Code just hit $2.5 billion in annualized revenue in 9 months. It is the fastest B2B software product ramp in history. So why are most people still using it like a chatbot? This is how most people use Claude Code. Type a prompt and get output. The context fills up. It compacts. You lose everything. You start over. The top users flipped it. They built skills that interview through a framework before building anything. They use sub-agents that preserve context. They have operating systems where every file, every person, every project has a home. That shift is what today’s episode is about. I sat down with Carl Vellotti for the third time . His first episode was the beginner course. His second episode was the advanced masterclass. Together they crossed over a million views across platforms. Today is the operating system layer. If you are already an 80 out of 100 on Claude Code, this episode will bring you to a 95 out of 100. This episode covers context management , creating sub-agents to manage your context for you, auto-triggering skills with hooks, trustworthy data analysis with Jupyter notebooks, and building an operating system around it all. If you are living in Claude Code 8 to 10 hours a day and want to stop fighting the tool, this is the one episode to watch. ---- Check out the conversation on Apple , Spotify , and YouTube .
