Un buen truco, para cuando Claude Code termina el plan y te lo muestra, es decirle lo siguiente: Lanza un subagente Staff Engineer para que revise el plan e incorpora su feedback. Luego, muestramelo de nuevo. Vas a ver que el plan y la futura implementación funciona mejor.

Now that I use Claude Code, the terminal became (even) more important than before. The experience of using Claude Code in the terminal is much better than the plugins in either Visual Studio code or IntelliJ. So, it's time to pick up a good terminal app. I'm starting with Ghostty. What's yours?
