Claude Code fundamentals
Terminal without fear. Project setup. The build loop: describe → generate → run → fix. Git basics (save points, undo). Reading enough code to steer.

CODE BEGINS
Builder
You write code with AI — as an investor who ships. You own a real internal tool that didn't exist before you.
01 — Modules
2Apply
Data pipelines
Pulling from an API (Crunchbase, Companies House, job boards). Cleaning and enriching with AI. Storing (CSV → SQLite → Sheets). Running on a schedule.
3Extend
Internal apps
A real dashboard (Streamlit or a simple web app). Deploying so it has a URL. Iterating based on your own use.
