Claude Was Coding Blind Until This
Ever wondered how VS Code instantly finds every reference to a function across thousands of files? That's Language Server Protocol (LSP) — and Claude Code finally has it built in.
In this video, I show you:
→ Why regular search returns noisy, false-positive results
→ How to set up LSP with a simple plugin install
→ The difference between grep-style search vs LSP precision
→ How Claude Code can now read actual SDK type definitions
This is a game-changer for anyone working with large codebases.
