The room during the Claude Code demos at Building the State of the Art (BSOTA) was focused. The session landed on the day Fable launched, and you could feel it. A room full of builders genuinely lit up about where coding is going. Our access to Fable was short-lived, but the real pull was hearing people trade what's working in their setups right now.
Highlight of the night was a demo and convo about /goal. You hand Claude Code a completion condition, like "every test passes and lint is clean," and it keeps working on its own until a separate model confirms the condition is actually met. Watching builders point Claude at a real end state and let it run there was the moment the room leaned in.
We'll get this session up on YouTube later this week (make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it). Don't forget to check out BSOTA session 3.
Join us for the next BSOTA session on June 23rd.
See you tomorrow night at Builders Night.
Coming up at Rally
Builders Night
2026-06-15 · 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Builders bring a project and work in focused silence alongside others doing the same. You'll get 90 minutes of deep work time, then a structured share-back where people show progress, get unstuck, and offer real help.
Claude Code Demos: Building the State of the Art
2026-06-23 · 6:45 PM - 8:45 PM
Most builders using Claude Code, Cursor, or custom agents are figuring out workflows in isolation—BSOTA fixes that. You'll see live walkthroughs of real setups from active users, then spend the rest of the night working alongside other builders who are deep in the same problems.
