Business Owner Gets His Claude Code Setup Roasted
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I let my co-founder roast my Claude Code setup live on this episode. He didn't hold back.
Five months in, I thought I had it pretty dialed. Turns out my Claude.md is missing the most important thing, my folder structure is making my life harder, and I'm still manually triggering tasks Claude could just do for me. We go through the whole audit and the specific fixes I'm making this week.
In this episode we break down:
→ Why Gael now says start on the Claude Desktop App, not VS Code
→ The "drift" problem nobody warns you about at 5 months in
→ The one rule every Claude.md needs so it maintains its own documentation
→ Why CLI beats MCP for Notion, Google Workspace, and more
→ How to stop being the manual trigger and let scheduled routines do the work
→ The "we're done" pattern that makes your skills get better as you use them
If your Claude Code setup feels like it's slowly drifting out of sync, this is the audit you needed.
