About this lesson

I've been using Claude Code for 6 months and processed over a billion tokens with it every single month. In this video I break down exactly why I switched from Cursor, what makes Claude Code fundamentally different, and why I now use it for far more than just coding. What I cover: - What Claude Code actually is (and why "agentic" matters) - Why context and reasoning set it apart from every other tool - How I use it daily: coding, research, prototyping, document analysis, web search - The honest Cursor comparison - Why it's become my trusted partner, not just a tool If you're serious about your AI workflow, this one's worth your time. 🔗 Try Claude Code: https://claude.ai/code Timestamps: 0:00 — Hook: 1 billion tokens a month 0:14 — What is Claude Code? 0:47 — Why it beats other AI tools 1:18 — Beyond coding — my full workflow 1:46 — Cursor vs Claude Code 2:15 — Final verdict If you're preparing for quant finance interviews, check out UpperBound — my platform for structured quant prep: 👉 https://www.upperbound.so #ClaudeCode #Claude #AnthropicAI #AICoding #AITools #CursorAI #DeveloperTools #CodingWithAI #AIProductivity #SoftwareEngineering #AgenticAI #AIWorkflow #TechTools #VibeCoding #AIAssistant #Coding #Programming #AIAgent #TechReview
