The author’s friend, an Anthropic engineer earning $1.2 million a year, shared an internal video on their core team’s prompting techniques. After watching it, the author realized they’ve been misusing Claude for two years and urges readers to watch the video before diving into the article.
- This is engagement-bait / ad copy with no actual prompting techniques included—it's a teaser for a video, not real content.
- The core claims (friend at Anthropic, $1.2M salary, leaked internal video) are unverifiable and read as fabricated hooks.
- The "detailed summary" is just vague buzzwords (modular steps, adversarial queries, failure modes) with zero concrete specifics.
Boris Cherny breaks down nine common habits that burn most of your Claude tokens before the model even sees your prompt—loading CLAUDE.md, rereading chat history, forgotten hooks, and more. He shows how each pattern eats into your limits and why complaints about “Claude getting dumber” usually miss the real culprit.
- The article provides no actual list of the nine habits, specific hooks, or countermeasures beyond vague category names—despite claiming precise percentages for each.
- The claimed source (a tweet/profile labeled "Mnimiy @Mnilax") doesn't match the detailed narrative about Boris Cherny, a podcast episode, and 400 hours of usage data, suggesting fabricated or unverifiable attribution.
- The specific statistics (73% total, 14% for CLAUDE.md, 13% for chat history, 11% for hooks) are presented with false precision but no methodology or source is given for how they were measured.
