Obie Fernandez on X: "I told Claude Code to build me an executive assistant. This is what my work as CTO looks like now" / X

Managing 10 engineers, shipping code, and operating at the C-level simultaneously, with superhuman focus and power.
About three weeks ago I started as full-time CTO at ZAR (@zardotapp) . I opened a fresh directory and gave Claude Code a simple prompt:
Create me a markdown-based system where I can regularly run you, Claude Code, that lets me be the best world-class CTO possible. I'm planning to use you as my personal executive assistant and CTO expert. Document everything in a series of folders as you see fit.
I didn't design a folder structure. I didn't create templates. I just asked Claude to figure it out.
I'm here to tell you what living in the future looks like.
