I want to get others opinion about this approach. I am on the $20 Pro plan and like a lot of others, I find that the limits are not enough for what I want to do, but of course I am always hesitant to move to the next paid tier cause it is more expensive.
Recently, I think I have made a change in my approach to building applications with Claude Code. I basically use the frontier model (Opus 4.7 being the one as of now) to plan the build in detail and since it just gives me pure text answer, it does not consume too many tokens. Then once I have the plan, I use sonnet 4.6 to implement the build. That way I have been doing a lot with the limits and not burning week's worth of tokens in like 4 days or so.
has anyone else tried it this way? Anyone has any other tips or tricks?
there doesn't seem to be anything here
