Claude Code for the rest of us
As of early 2026, 70% of Fortune 100 companies use Claude. Most headlines you see showcase developers or software engineers using these tools, but what about the rest of us? Can Claude code be useful for the everyday professional, even if coding isn't a part of our job title? As a non-technical professional myself, the answer is absolutely yes. I'm a Forbes 30 under 30 educator and enterprise AI trainer. And I'm not a developer, I'm not an AI researcher, and I've never had a job as a a software engineer where I'm going into terminals and typing commands. But I've still been able to use Claude Code to build incredibly useful projects for my work, like custom dashboards, and landing pages, and even my personal website that you might have already seen if you found me from online. By the end of this course, you'll have your Claude Code interface fully set up, a custom-built application made with Claude Code, as well as an understanding of the most common professional use cases. Finally, you'll walk away with a key framework for understanding these tools as they evolve so that you're not playing catch-up every time they ship updates. Thanks so much for joining me and I'll see you in the next lesson.
