Session
How Do AI-Powered Coding Assistants Work? Using Claude Code to Understand Claude Code
Ever wondered how tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot work? You could crack open the source code and try to deobfuscate everything yourself - or you could simply ask the tool to do it for you.
In this session, Spencer uses Claude Code to deconstruct and explore its own source code. We'll see how Claude Code generates suggestions, understands coding contexts, and refines output - all explained in its own words (or code!). This meta journey gives you an entertaining dive into the internals of an advanced AI coding tool.
You'll walk away from this session with a better understanding of how your favorite coding tool does its job as well as a better understanding of how AI agents work in general. (Credit to Geoffrey Huntley for the idea!)
