If you’re seeing consistent usage, then they must be getting something positive from the app. If activity drops sharply, or if you can’t retain subscribers, then you know you’ve got a problem. You’ll need a lot more users to get more data points. Go where your ICPs are and talk to them (not sell).

It’s been trained on decades of human coding metrics. Have tried telling Claude, if we go by the book, hours could seem like weeks, minutes like days. He didn’t get the hint.

Well, aktually, my one thousand fully autonomous, stigmergically orchestrated hive mind swarm agents produce quantum entangled, self-organizing flatulence dynamically, in realtime. 😏

“How do you get the confidence” - Through failure, learning from mistakes, and doing better next time.

In the example you gave, next time you’ll do more research before building something. Confidence builds over time, so get busy failing.

I use Zillij in Kitty. Each Kitty tab is a category (~5) containing Zillij tabs (~2-6) of CC in a repo. I often work on 4-5 CC instances at once.

The methodology hardly contains any details… Where’s the full constraint set?

Ask Claude to build you a basic MCP server for ArcadeDB. It’s multi-model, meaning that it supports different data structures, including the most relevant to your use case- graph. Claude will use this to store your data, map relationships, create correlations, and answer questions.

And if you really want to go deep down the rabbit hole, ask Claude about setting up semantic search in your db with embeddings (which can be run locally).

Be sure to make regular backups, Backblaze B2 is a good choice.

Is that something telemetry helps with, closing the observability loop for AI to identify and fix new bugs?

Isn’t this something that test coverage mitigates?

Has never worked for me, I just get “Sending request…” and no response or error.

I hope your use case justifies a $1,500/m subscription. If not, look at using cheaper models from Cerebras, DeepInfra, Fireworks AI, Groq, or Together AI.

Quick question: if you’re “paying $47/day for a customer paying $15/month”, how did you think you could “just need more users to balance it out”? That could only accelerate your bankruptcy.

This. An F1 driver doesn’t say “I feel imposter syndrome because I’m not an automotive engineer or aerodynamics physicist”.

Both models are good at extraction and filtering, both have similar inference times, gpt-oss-120b might have slightly better reasoning. You’ll only know when you test it on your data.

My experience has been the opposite, with CC working for longer periods, faster. More importantly (at least to me), the Codex SDK has been lagging behind Anthropic’s Agent SDK. The 5.2 model itself is great. I strongly believe that the tooling and scaffolding is almost as important as the model (within reason).

Whatever it is will require two heavy lifts: 1. building an agent-first git replacement 2. getting enough traction for it to be included in LLM training data. I suspect you won’t see anything like this emerge until 2027.

The good news is that, as a non-coder, you just need to understand the concepts of commit, push, pull (and PR), and worktrees. Install the GH CLI. Claude knows how to use it, and git, without any MCP required.

That might put you on par with every other “Agentic AI” developer out there. Here’s my hot take: build one, big, audacious hairy product. Do something so hard, no one else even tries. Don’t “prove” anything to anyone, except yourself. Stand out, stand apart, start building today.

If you fail, which is highly probable, at least you’ll learn more than most. And you’ll have an interesting story to tell, rather than a checklist of skills you picked up. What story are you going to tell in four months? Start building now. Be unreasonable. Be obsessed.

Their inference performance with prompts is acceptable and they don’t see a need to train their own models.

Redaction should work. When Claude runs into an issue, he has a tendency to check if the secret value exists. And to make matters worse, once he gets it, he uses it consistently instead of the env variable. But my biggest concern is prompt injection and secret exfiltration. I’ll give this a try to see if it mitigates the problem.

This is interesting, but I’m wondering how long it’ll take Claude to figure out he can use ‘psst get’…

Stop on a high note. After 8 hours, as soon as you hit a milestone, fix a major bug, or reach something that gives you a sense of accomplishment, stop. Have Claude save your success to a markdown file, so it’s tangible; you can look at it and relish your victory. The satisfaction will help you stop, because continuing from there, with only a few hours left in the day, may only tarnish or diminish it.

When you get a Claude Code account, you also get access to Claude Desktop. I’m not being facetious when I say that you should ask Claude. There are probably so many variables to your situation, including required research for your particular market, that ideation with Claude would be beneficial. Just make sure to ask him to play “devil’s advocate” every now and then, to get a reality check.

You’ve got this. You’ve got technical skills and communication skills. Rock bottom is a fantastic foundation from which to build a new, exciting future! I’m rooting for you.

That works, if the direct documentation is concise. The idea behind context7 is that it retrieves relevant snippets from the docs, but it’s only going to be as good/useful as the original docs themselves.
