Too Lazy to Use Claude Code for Research
https://youtu.be/8jo91yMtD_E

In this special episode of Too Lazy to Read the Paper I talk to YY Ahn about using Claude Code for Research.

Normally in Too Lazy to Read the Paper, somebody explains a paper to me, because reading papers is hard and talking to people is fun and natural.

And if someone's too lazy to read the paper, they're definitely too lazy to read the manual.

So today there's a new format. There's no paper. Instead there's a thing we're all talking about in the shadows – agentic coding, Claude Code. The whole business of handing an AI your research and letting it write and run the code – and my sense is that getting started on this is a big hurdle to a lot of folks. So to help them (and myself, I'm sitting down with all-round genious, renessaince man, deep thinker, conneseur of all things coding and living in the terminal, and honest, decent person, YY Ahn.
