Give it the task

Describe what you want to build in plain English.

"Build me a tool that takes a LinkedIn
profile URL and summarizes the person's
background for meeting prep"

When it breaks (and it will!)

This is the learning moment. How you respond to errors matters more than avoiding them.

Ask Claude WHY

Don't just accept the output. Seek understanding.

"Why did you choose that approach?"
"What are the trade-offs?"
"What would break if we changed X?"
