📺 Top 10 Engineering-Focused Deep Dives ## 📰 Technical Briefing: Articles & Updates ## 🧠 Thoughts from the Terminal: The "Context Ceiling" ## 🛠️ Performance Tip of the Week Engineering Log: February 4, 2026 Focus: System Architecture, Context Engineering, and the Context Ceiling. Welcome to the debut of Claude Code Club. This isn't a hype-sheet. We are here to document the transition from "vibe coding" to Agentic Software Engineering. In early 2026, the ecosystem has moved decisively toward the "Terminal-as-the-OS" model. Here is the high-signal data you need for your workflow this week. The most significant trend this week is the realization that Claude Code is not a Chatbot. If you are "chatting" with your CLI, you are losing. High-performance engineers are treating the CLI as a Compiler of Intent. Key takeaway for your workflow: Stop asking Claude to "fix this bug." Start using /plan to generate a markdown spec of the fix, review the spec as a Senior Architect, and only then allow the agent to execute. This "Review-First" pattern is what separates the noise from the signal in 2026. Run with --dangerously-skip-permissions? If you’re working in a version-controlled environment with a clean Git history, the constant permission popups are a productivity killer. Most power users are now running in "Dangerous Mode" and relying on git checkout . as their safety net. Use with caution, but use it for speed. Published by the Claude Code Club.

This file acts as "System Memory," defining tech stacks and linting rules so you never have to repeat your project constraints. - [Security Patch] OAuth-Based Scoping: Documentation updated for 2026 releases. You can now scope Claude’s access to specific directories or APIs, a critical step for corporate compliance.
