Tips for Using Claude Code Effectively

Getting Started & Configuration

Use the Best Model

Use Claude Opus 4.5 - it's the most capable model. You used to save 66% by downgrading from Opus to Sonnet, but now the price of Opus has come down and you're only saving 40%. And look at what you're giving up (source).

Script Name: madge_concatenator.sh

Purpose:
This script uses 'madge' to find all dependencies for a given TypeScript/JavaScript
entry file, and then concatenates all found files into a single output file.
The output file will contain the absolute file paths and contents of each code file,
separated by a delimiter (```). This is useful for providing a large codebase

Below is a 2025-focused playbook you can share with newcomers who want to “get their hands into a big code-base, learn fast, and land that first dev role.” In short: open-source is still the best proving ground, but the on-ramp is very different from when you broke in (2014). Cloud dev environments, Discord communities, AI pair-programmers, and funded mentorships mean you can contribute product-grade code in hours—not weeks—and get real humans vouching for you along the way.
