The Focus Experiment

I’m an experienced software developer conducting a radical focus experiment inspired by Steve Jobs’ philosophy:

“Focus means saying NO to something that—with every bone in your body—you think is a phenomenal idea.”

The Decision

While the tech world chases every new AI tool and coding assistant, I’ve made a counterintuitive choice: I’m betting everything on Claude Code.

Not just for development, but for:

  • Content creation and writing
  • Research and analysis
  • Project management
  • Building deep expertise
  • Workflow optimization

The Goal

My goal is ambitious but specific: Become the most knowledgeable person about Claude Code among the people I meet.

This isn’t about ignoring innovation—it’s about the compound effects of mastery. By saying no to the noise, I’m saying yes to depth.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog documents my journey through:

  • Technical Discoveries: Pushing Claude Code to its limits
  • Workflow Patterns: Building efficient, repeatable processes
  • Integration Strategies: Making Claude Code the hub of my development ecosystem
  • Learning Insights: The unexpected benefits of deep focus
  • Real-World Applications: Practical examples from actual projects

Why This Matters

In an era of tool fatigue and constant context switching, this experiment tests a simple hypothesis: Can focusing on one tool deeply outperform spreading attention across many?

Early results suggest yes. The compound learning effects, workflow optimizations, and mental clarity from this approach have been transformative.

Join the Journey

Whether you’re a Claude Code user, someone interested in developer productivity, or just curious about focused learning experiments, I invite you to follow along.

The experiment continues, and the best discoveries are yet to come.
