The next thing is dictation.

This is, as you saw when I was trying to use Cloud Code, I was dictating my prompt.

It's because you can just get way more detailed prompts and then that will help steer the AI in a way better direction.

I actually didn't think this was a big deal, but then when people started seeing me do this in my videos, I didn't know people weren't doing this.

And that was something where people were like, wow, I just downloaded this?

Yeah, my AI coding has dramatically improved because I'm dictating everything now.

So that's another hack.

100% recommend dictating.

You can use WhisperFlow like I'm using.

There's also some other tools, but WhisperFlow is really great because it has built-in developer terminology so you can say developer terms and it kind of understands it already too.

The last tip that I have is to use Claude for deep research on technical issues.

So something a lot of people don't know is that if you are paying for Claude code, you also have increased usage inside of Claude desktop, like the chat app.

And you can actually use it to do deep research for you.

And so what I'm doing frequently is I'm actually asking it, hey, this is what I'm about to do in my app.

So again, I'm a pretty experienced developer, I think.

So I ask it, what's the best way to store data?

I'm looking for something similar to this in React.

What do you think?

And it will go and it will look for...

12 minutes straight and look through all of the documentation and try to find the best way to do this and then it'll just summarize everything for me and then I can just take that and then review it obviously and then I'll send it over to Cloud Code and say, hey, can we actually do it this way because I think this is a better way.
