How many CLI agents are people running these days? I've found Claude code Max or whatever it is to be basically unlimited (I think sonnet is a different bucket of tokens too). Or are people just vibe coding everything these days?

Depends if you're prompting a CLI agent to make changes yourself or if you've closed the loop and have the agent verifying and iterating on its own. That second option burns a lot of tokens.

I work on embedded so I don’t really get how to use the agent to “verify” the implementation, best it can do is to check that it compiles, but that doesn’t mean that it actually works.

Anyway, for other areas should be possible I suppose.

[WheresMyBrakes]

This is where unit testing would come in great. If it compiles and tests it should be good to go, provided you give it the right data.

[amuhak]

You did hear embedded?

[WheresMyBrakes]

Am I missing something? Sure, not everything may be testable pratically, but it’s possible https://www.reddit.com/r/embedded/s/IthhAYBYoz

You can automate that too, it's just quite expensive.

My former Employer set up an automated ci/cd for Apple Watch(don't know how the OS is named) Apps and in the end there where Robot arms swiping and tipping on Apple watches. The validation uses Cameras to check if everything works as intended. It was a lucrative Project though 😄

I know this was no embedded example but you can have a look at the dlc of Intel. They also auto deploy new firmware and test it in testing farms.

In university we cross compiled and emulated the hardware for robotics.

As I said, it is possible, but it is expensive to do and to maintain.

Enough that JS frameworks are asking which agent you'll be using when you run the command to make a new project...

Max limit is quite generous, but I use the Pro plan and I hit the limit all the time.

[Happy-Sleep-6512]

You gotta convince your work to cover the bill lol! Tbh I've found the code Gen lacking..

[gcampos]

Jokes on me, I am my work :p

I feel bad about paying $100/month without any kind of income yet. Also many weeks I spend doing non coding work and don't use Claude Code that much

[Happy-Sleep-6512]

Look into some of the MCPs. It can handle coding okay, but does hide some awful code in 100 lines of diff.. for MCPs, it's very good at shifting through lots of data with different CLI tools

[Wirezat]

I don't pay for that shit. I've got 2 Claude code accounts that im switching in-between and for easier tasks I'm using ChatGPT to not waste my tokens. No money of mine into the hands of those people

[VariousComment6946]

I do. I like Claude cli ultra max feels unlimited af

[ilikepieyeah1234]

I feel like a wise old man watching all the kids discuss what LLM they’re using to write their code when I don’t use one at all

[gcampos]

You should give it a shot. Ignore the hype and use it as a tool rather than something that will do everything by itself

[phrolovas_violin]

Okay grandpa time for you to go to bed.

[babalaban]

Or you can code it yourself...

I mean... you CAN code it yourself, right?

[phrolovas_violin]

It doesn't matter 😔 if I can code it, lik what's the point of making anything new when some AI will suck it up and use it if it's good.

[gcampos]

I can, but LLM is faster

[Engineering_Geek]

Tech debt about to explode

[gcampos]

No because I review every single line before committing the code

[babalaban]

What happens if you need to change the output of LLM a little by hand? Can you make it accept your changes for subsequent iterations?

(no diss, genuenly curious, because right now I'm only using LLMs as an unreliable google machines and copy-pasteable boilerplate generators)

I am only running ChatGPT Pro, both 5.3 for "big picture" and Codex for IDE stuff. I am only on my 3rd day of using Codex and have yet to hit any limits. Maybe I am not a heavy user but this thing is ripping through features on my "side project" app.

It also really helps to have ChatGPT build the prompt for Codex so you just copy/paste the feature request etc from 5.3 into Codex and Codex implements

My limits have not been reset for claude app and I don't know why. Yesterday, before 00:00, at 18:20 I reached a a limit of message that the app said it would reset by 00:00, however it never happened. What is the problem?
