Spring Developer Advocate Dan Vega published slides and code for his dev2next 2026 talk "Claude Code: Start Simple, Scale Smart" — a 68-slide practical roadmap for coding agents. It covers the agent loop and core vocabulary, permissions and plan mode, CLAUDE.md project memory, then scales up to reusable Skills, MCP for live data, subagents, hooks and safe delegation gates, plus long-running autonomous work with /goal and routines — and tells you what to safely ignore until needed. Patterns apply beyond Claude Code.
