Support for the show comes from Anthropic, the team behind Claude. They say that Claude is the collaborator that actually understands your entire workflow So for developers, that looks like Claude Code. It runs in your terminal, reads your code base and can apparently take on things like writing tests, refactoring or debugging without you hand-holding it through every step Anthropic committed to not running ads in Claude, so when you are deep in something that matters to you, they say the answer you get is shaped by your question, not by an advertiser's agenda.
