"Here's what I've found: a lot of the value of Claude Code is in its configuration and correct prompting. When you're just starting, you think the value is really in the code it generates. But honestly, most of the value of Claude Code is in the code it doesn't generate-so you don't have to throw it away. The better you are at setting a really solid system prompt, at executing the agentic loop correctly with the right permissions, the right interceptions,"
"The Max plan tends to be what I'd recommend at this point, because then you can just keep it running. You'll see why this matters in a second. Claude Code released an integration with Chrome a couple months ago. You can start Claude with the --chrome flag so that it connects to your Chrome instance. This creates a bridge to the browser that allows Claude to operate within a browser for you."
Effective use of Claude Code relies on careful configuration, strong system prompts, and well-designed agentic loops with appropriate permissions, interceptions, and restrictions. Integrating Claude with a running application via the Chrome bridge enables it to click through pages, capture screenshots, inspect the DOM, and access runtime variables. Heavy feature work, testing, and background processing often exceed a basic plan, so upgrading to a plan that remains running (the Max plan) is recommended. The core value comes from avoiding generated code that must be discarded and from guiding the agent precisely so outputs are reusable and maintainable.
