Claude Code Meetup Nairobi #2
Join us for the Claude Code Meetup Nairobi — where we don't just talk about AI coding, we show you exactly how the creator of Claude Code uses it to land 259 PRs in 30 days.
Boris Cherny, the Anthropic engineer who built Claude Code, runs 10–15 instances simultaneously and has every line of production code written by AI. At this meetup, we're breaking down his exact workflow — and showing you how to set it up yourself.
Whether you're a seasoned developer or just AI-curious, you'll walk away with techniques the Anthropic team actually uses daily.
What You'll Learn
🔧 The Boris Cherny Workflow — How the creator of Claude Code runs 5+ parallel instances from his terminal, plans before executing, and uses verification loops to 2-3x output quality
📁 CLAUDE.md Masterclass — The memory file that teaches Claude your entire codebase. We'll build one live and show you the hierarchy: user → project → local configs
⚡ Multi-Instance Parallel Coding — Live demo: 4 Claude Code terminals working on different parts of a real production app simultaneously (UI fixes, backend architecture, infrastructure, and deployment — all at once)
🤖 Agentic Workflows — Let Claude drive. We'll cover Plan Mode, auto-accept edits, permission scoping, and how to safely let Claude Code operate autonomously
💻 Live Hack Time — Bring your laptop and a project. We'll help you set up Claude Code and start building with the techniques you just learned
Who Should Attend
Developers, engineers, founders, tech leads, product managers, and the deeply curious. All skill levels welcome — we'll have hands-on support for beginners and advanced techniques for power users.
⚠️ Bring your laptop — this is a hands-on session. Install Claude Code beforehand if you can: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
