Interesting tidbits from Anthropic’s blog on how their teams use Claude Code [1]:

Top tips from Data Science and ML Engineering teams: treat it like a slot machine. Save your state before letting Claude work, let it run for 30 minutes, then either accept the result or start fresh rather than trying to wrestle with corrections. Starting over often has a higher success rate than trying to fix Claude’s mistakes.

Top tips from the Product Engineering team: treat it as an iterative partner, not a one-shot solution. Rather than expecting Claude to solve problems immediately, approach it as a collaborator you iterate with. This works better than trying to get perfect solutions on the first try.
