Claude Code in Practice: Making It Work on Real Projects

Claude Code is surprisingly good at handling large codebases, but only if you teach it properly. This talk covers practical lessons from working with Claude Code on a sprawling legacy Python and Javascript project. 

We'll look at how best to give Claude Code access to your stuff via MCP servers, teaching it once instead of every session, and techniques that actually helped when dealing with 5,000,000 lines of code.

Bio
Rune Kaagaard is CTO of Prescriba and builds developer tools in Copenhagen. He's built several MCP servers including MCP Alchemy for SQL databases, and co-created Django Hypergen with Jeppe Tuxen, a liveview framework for server-rendered reactive HTML. Before programming, he played jazz piano. 

He's been contributing to open source for 16 years and still believes beautiful structures are hiding in the complexity, waiting to be found.
