Hey Reader,

I just did something crazy.

After 10 months of daily use... I cancelled my Cursor subscription.

Gone. Done. Cold turkey.

And for the next 30 days, I'm going all-in on Claude Code.

Why Would I Do This?

Because so many of you use Claude Code.

My students use it. My viewers use it. People in my DMs use it.

And honestly? I used to use it too, A LOT... until I didn't.

There are many good reasons why I moved on from it.

But I owe it to you to catch up, and fully understand it.

Not surface-level "I tried it for an afternoon" deep.

Real deep. 30 days. Every single day.

The First 48 Hours (Brutal Honesty)

Here's what nobody tells you about Claude Code...

It's like trading your automatic car for a manual.

You know it works. You've heard it's more powerful.

But holy sh*t, this thing can get messy and frustrating.

I've been wrestling with rules files, trying to make it play nice in Cursor's free version.

Nothing worked properly.

Then I discovered the uncomfortable truth:

Claude Code really only FLIES when you use it directly in the terminal (CLI).

That black screen that scares so many of you? That's definitely where the magic happens.

But Here's Why It's Worth It

$100-$200/month for virtually UNLIMITED AI coding.

Claude Max (5x / 20x) are just insane value compared to Cursor's pricing mess.

No credit anxiety. No watching your usage meter. Just build 24/7 with almost no limits.

What I'm Going to Explore

Over the next 30 days, I'm testing everything:

Skills, plugins, commands, agents, rules, workflows, tools, ...

I'm posting updates on X/Twitter every single day.

Plus, I'll update you once a week with these emails.

And when the 30 days are up, I'm dropping a full YouTube breakdown.

Here's Where You Come In

Reply to this email and tell me what YOU want me to focus on.

Specific skills? Workflows? Plugins? Commands?

I read every single reply.

Let's figure this out together.

Because 2026 is going to be absolutely wild.

Talk next week,
Rob

P.S. Let's be real... I fully expect to go back to Cursor after this. It's just too good. But I'll know Claude Code inside and out by then. I owe it to my students and viewer to know the tool they love so much as good as I can. And the next 30 days are going full steam into Claude Code.
