    [music] Support for this show comes from the Working Forests Initiative. The working forest industry is committed to planting more trees than they harvest. More than one billion seedlings are planted in US working forests every year. From biologists to GIS analysts, hiring managers, accountants, working forest professionals have dedicated their focus towards sustainability, using their expertise to help ensure a healthy future for America's forests. They say they don't just plan for the future, they plant it. You can learn more at workingforestsinitiative.com.

    [music] 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.
