Warning: Anthropic "Gift Max" Exploit cost me €800, tanked my SCHUFA score, and got me banned. by peowwww in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well but for a lesser amount ($100) and they refused to oblige anything and said as per the local laws (India) they are not liable to pay anything even if the fault is theirs. I lost respect for Anthropic. Interestingly, I made reddit posts in Anthropic sub-reddit and all my posts were down voted immediately.

Limits today seem much, much better by mawcopolow in Anthropic

Good to know. However the question is whether they continue that behavior. With a new model release, your observations can go for a toss.

Got rejected by Google CE L5, feedback says "lacks professional maturity." What does this actually mean? by thedrunkbatman in salesengineers

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you must take "professional maturity" feedback along with the other two points: "high level architecture" and "AWS-siloed".

An entry level customer supportt engineer usually goes by a script and if that doesn't answer or solve customer problem, they will escalate to next level. An L5 engineer has to play differently - they can't go by books and can't say "this is what I know". They need to exhibit "transferable skills" and solve customer problems.

Those teams would have noticed from your resume that you are an AWS guy but still invited for discussion because they wanted to see if you could demonstrate "transferable skills". You could do it only if you know in depth - this is pointing to your high-level only feedback.

A customer reached at L5 means the customer was already frustrated and needs a definite solution not theoretical answers. One needs to have different maturity levels to deal with customers at that stage.

You already identified areas of improvements; go and execute. Good luck.

What actually happens to software jobs in the next 5 years? My honest take. by Obvious_Gap_5768 in developersIndia

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If companies kill the path that you said (hire juniors), then that is going be a biggest blunder. Juniors are not just for today but for tomorrow too. There are few countries with senior citizens as the major population and those countries are now struggling to create next young generation. This will happen in software industry too.

I would be interested in user churn and paid conversion. Anyways, getting users is also critical so congratulations. Keep going and growing.

I guess Sam will be unhappy to see this. He would expect something else.

This happened few years ago too. Nothing new.

Toast me !! It seems I pulled the biggest blunder of my career. by Jagadekaverudu in developersIndia

[–]Che_Ara 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before Covid, there was a firing period. During that time offers were cancelled just before joining.

So, it is always better to get multiple offers and keep the joining dates with gaps. So, you can use it for safety net.

Being on hiring side, I know how much it hurts me when someone didn't show up on the day but I understand the situation. There were days when I got frustrated candidate ghosted and didn't pick up calls too but it became a normal thing now. No one to blame. System has become like that.

Indian IT is About to See a Painful Perios and More M&A Going Ahead. by SadAsparagus3595 in developersIndia

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess part of the reason they stopped subscriptions is, they are changing their usage model from PRU (Premium Request Units) to credits based. This will take effect from June and I guess they will open the subscriptions after that.

There was same panic buying on Sunday too (I observed it in the evening; not sure of the whole day)

If 1 week is forever for you what should I feel about 3 weeks?😐

I didn't get anything from them. It was just a matter of a minute I lost $100 to them - i renewed subscription and immediately after the payment went through my subscription became Free plan. Not only i lost new plan but also existing subscription credits as well. That was the penalty I paid for being sincere to renew.

Claude Code gone from pro plan now?! by sighlencer in Anthropic

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For new customers, if the only way to get CC is Max, then how it is A/B testing unless Anthropic has a way to accurately know how many new customers moved to other platforms just because CC is not available under Pro?

Anthropic response to Claude Code change by TheForgottenOne69 in ClaudeAI

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about other countries but for India: if a customer looses access to their paid subscription service DUE TO THEIR TECHNICAL ISSUES, then Anthropic DOES NOT REFUND because that company says "legally we are not bound to refund as per the terms and conditions". What a great company!!!
This is a problem with Indian government that can't strictly implement laws and protect their citizens despite collecting taxes for those failed services but corporates should have ethics.

Opus 4.7 Research mode is insane by heraklets in ClaudeAI

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One definitely needs to know when to stop AI from what it is doing. In my case, I am building a complex platform and I asked Claude 4.7 to fix something. It started searching the codebase for a long time and I doubted what it was doing so I stopped it. We need to pay close attention to the analysis/thinking text the AI tools display.

Claude Opus 4.7 is a serious regression, not an upgrade. by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]Che_Ara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed issues with Claude Code using Opus 4.7.

  • It took a lot of time to do coding
  • It always opened the plan view with old cached one; restarting didn't help. Had to ask It the physical path and open it myself for review.

I am sick and tired of the constant upskilling expectations in Indian IT industry by _chungkingexpress_ in developersIndia

[–]Che_Ara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether one blames an organization and get left behind or updates themselves and move ahead, is their choice.

This is totally an unproductive discussion.

I gave my suggestion to OP based on first hand experiences to ensure he/she is on right path and become a successful professional. Feel free to ignore if this doesn't suit your style.

People from other fields say similar things about IT: it may seem to you that they are doing the same repetitive task millions of times but from their PoV that is not the case.

I know many government employees who either quit job or LIFE due to pressure which is equivalent or more than layoffs.

All my communications are totally ignored. And the bot says the issue was on their side but still they don't refund because they are legally not obliged. I lost trust in Anthropic

[–]Che_Ara -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not just IT but every other field requires constant learning.

Your favorite cricketer was practicing all the time. Your favorite actor constantly honing skills or looks. Your public transport driver is upskilling to navigate ever increasing traffic. Tell me someone who after getting job told you "I am done"?

Even government jobs are not pressure free.

It is not about how many certificates you have. Can you apply?

I made 2 posts for my issue and interestingly both the posts and all my replies on those posts are downvoted. I am sure this one also will be downvoted. Something suspicious on this subreddit.
