I agree with Cary, the Code4Lib Slack might be a preferable place for this. It already has two channels devoted to AI topics, #ai-dl-ml and #generative-ai, the latter of which might be a great place to talk about tools like Claude Code, but there's nothing stopping folks from adding a Claude-specific channel, either, if they wanted to.
Here's an invite link for anyone who isn't already there: https://join.slack.com/t/code4lib/shared_invite/zt-3vv1q78z8-3MiT3ZnQKlwDlUM~s1FmBA
The https://ai4lam.org/, which organizes the Fantastic Futures conference, also has a Slack where such conversations might be welcome. Here's an invite link to theirs: https://join.slack.com/t/ai4lam/shared_invite/zt-3wfagef5i-qUe4LHTbAnGOAX5l_qGJeQ

I use Claude code daily, but I don’t often use it for vibe coding (ie.
creating an app to a verbal or written specification). I am currently
working on my Claude certification.
I’m happy to join a discussion group to learn and help where I can, but I
would prefer that we do it in Slack.
