At this point, Claude is near ubiquitous when it comes to coding tooling. It has stormed on the scene, taken over our terminal apps, and created more load-bearing phrases than anyone thought possible. We will explore how we've used Claude in our monolithic codebase that started as a Zend Framework 1 project and some jQuery and started to transform it to modern PHP and using Vue with Typescript in place of jQuery. The load-bearing result here is that this talk should leave you with some tips and tricks so you don't have to push back as much. We will look at where Claude excels, where Claude falls down, and how we've shaped our Claude to do the work we need it to do the most.
