The mistakes everyone makes in the first week, and how to avoid them.
This list comes from the problems beginners hit most. Read it and avoid them from the start.
Common Beginner Mistakes
- ❌ Vague requests. 'Improve the code' without saying what needs improving
- ❌ Sessions that run too long. Piled up context weakens quality
- ❌ Approving changes without reading them
- ❌ Working without git. No way back
- ❌ Expecting perfection on the first try. Iteration and correction are normal
- ❌ Forgetting to write CLAUDE.md. You explain the same context every session
- ❌ Multiple tasks in one session. The context gets muddled
