A new video reports seven recent updates to Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding assistant, released over a two‑week span. The key takeaway is a fast cadence that can change suggestion behavior, refactor flows, and IDE integration between sprints. Set up a 1–2 day pilot on a representative repo to baseline impact on refactors, tests, and CI.
