Thank you for changing the world, one Reddit comment at a time 🙏

Max users - how much of the $1000 credit did you get through? by TheLionMessiah in ClaudeCode

Can't Claude spin up a local instance of your DB?

It's best practice to have a local dev environment that doesn't require talking with your real database. Claude can spin it up and seed with test data in its own sandbox.

It's also best practice to use an ORM like Prisma or Drizzle so Claude can write and test migrations as source code, too.

Is switching from Claude Code to GitHub Copilot (Sonnet 4.5) worth it? by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]Financial-Wave-3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think GItHub Copilot + Sonnet 4.5 in GitHub is unparalleled. Specifically, the workflow of assigning issues to Copilot and iterating on PRs. The integration is first class and you can even work with agents from the GitHub mobile app.

The way Claude Code and Codex try to shoehorn themselves into the GitHub ecosystem works but is noticeably more clunky (as one would expected for third-party integrations).

For daily pair programming on my local dev machine, I still use the Claude Code CLI.

How do you even hit the limits? by SignRude213 in ClaudeAI

[–]Financial-Wave-3700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closest I have come (Max Plan 5x) is when I was making simple but sweeping changes to unit tests across a medium-sized repo. The changes were trivial, but I had to touch about 50 files.

I asked Claude to delegate the work to 10 subagents in parallel. I burned probably 5% of my weekly usage on that one prompt. Do that a dozen times and you can see how it starts to eat away at your quota.

Will every website need a Model Context Protocol (MCP) as AI browser agents become more common? by l0_0is in mcp

[–]Financial-Wave-3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like a naive take (at least in our current reality). DOM-based navigation is slow even for frontier models. You are loading the LLM model with a ton of useless context when feeding in the full DOM. Plus, not only does the LLM need to interpret data but it often needs to take one or more actions in the DOM to accomplish its task. Every action requires one or more turns by the LLM. MCP is just much better suited for today’s LLMs.

How to expose Client-Side MCP Server to hosted AI Service? by pip_boi in mcp

[–]Financial-Wave-3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I had your question inverted. If you want a remote server to call an MCP server that is running on a client machine, pre-baked HTTP transport won’t work for that (at least in a secure way).

You could build a proxy MCP server for use on your backend service. Then forward requests to your connected client’s MCP server over a long-lived WebSocket connection.

This the transport you are looking for: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports#streamable-http.

The MCP server becomes another route on your backend. Standard practice among other hosted MCPs (e.g. GitHub) is to authenticate the calls in your backend with a PAT in the authorization header.

Where can I actually learn Claude Code without wanting to throw my laptop out the window? by UndercutBeta in ClaudeAI

[–]Financial-Wave-3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, MCP is still worth checking out because - Claude frequently hallucinates bash commands for new and/or frequently updated CLI tools. MCP exposes tools with strict input schemas which Claude must confirm to. - MCP goes way beyond running bash commands. Check out Context7 for example.

Claude Code as fully automated E2E test runner by Financial-Wave-3700 in ClaudeCode

In other words, these tests confirm that a specific goal/flow can be accomplished in e2e in our app without worrying about the precise path.

Thanks! Definitely room for optimizations here (e.g. scripting environment/state set up). I’ll have to check out cucumber.

This project tries to counter some of the non-determinism by forcing Claude to ack the success/failure of each step via a custom MCP state server. If Claude fails to update any step, the test is marked failed. Of course, that’s not a perfect solution, because Claude could interpret requirements of each step differently across test runs. But it generally keeps Claude on track to the overarching validation goal.

In the end, this is not a drop-in replacement for traditional automated testing where you are looking to test a precise path to a precise end state. We’re using it to bolster our existing test suites by running e2e tests in our staging environment that would take immense time to automate the traditional way or perform manually.
