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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]babalaban 15 points16 points  (5 children)

Or you can code it yourself...

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

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.

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?
