Opus 4.6 is now the default model in Claude Code. With 1M tokens of context and an 80.8% SWE-bench score, it’s the biggest single-generation jump yet. Here’s what changes for .NET developers.
I write less code than ever. And yet I’m more productive. The question is no longer ‘how do I implement this?’ but ‘what should be built here and why?’
Claude Code is powerful on its own. But when you split the work across specialized sub-agents — a test writer, a reviewer, a documentation agent — it becomes a team.
A developer pastes a connection string into ChatGPT. Another copies customer data to test something. We’ve all been close. Here’s how to think about what’s safe to share and what isn’t.
Claude Code knows your code. But it doesn’t know your build server, your deployment pipeline, or your inbox. MCP changes that.
Everyone has that one service class that’s grown too large. I used Claude Code to split an 800-line monolith into clean components — in under an hour.
Claude Code hooks let you automatically run tests, format code, and enforce standards — without remembering to ask.
