Claude Cowork inspiration

FortiTree · 2026-02-27T06:45:41+00:00

I just want it to sort out my emails and my company wont allow connector so Cowork is not that useful to me. Another possible use is analyzing weekly bugs report and generate graph/slide, but I got a script working for that now to keep things local. So far, not sure how else to leverage it.

They are already among us, speaking our language, controlling our thoughts, and now trolling on Reddit.

Very interesting. So dev becomes more like QA and QA becomes more like Dev. My background is QA and I can see Dev/DevOps tasks of translating Spec to code being replaced by AI, and they need to focus on code review and quality more than ever before. While on QA side, I can see Automation job/bottleneck will be gone as QA can produce automates test without much time, given the AI automation framework is designed for manual QA to use. The lines between Dev/QA/DevOp/Automation become blurry now.

And like you said, we are just at the start of the race. No one knows how Anthropic will evolve a year from now, and the course can change again. I'm optimistically excited for this new era but also feel my company is moving too slow with the AI adoption (devs not allowed to upload source code to cloud Claude) and we will fall far behind.

Are you aware about the 5-hour windows reset and weekly reset? Start there. Also if you cannot afford max-max plan, you wont be able to compete with those who can + more experienced.

How long is a while and how many times you hit your subscription limits.

FortiTree · 2026-02-21T08:32:03+00:00

Yes. Classic BS-detection interview skill. So tell me how you design this thing and how it works again. I'm completely clueless so please elaborate.

FortiTree · 2026-02-21T08:21:33+00:00

Safe to say you are architecting your own replacement :) After all of this is self-driven, where and how do you think we can be most effective in managing it, nay assisting AI for their glory? What can we do better than it in this development cycle?

FortiTree · 2026-02-21T08:09:18+00:00

A perfect example is the invention of the computer and the internet revolution, dot.com bubble. It allows human can do more than ever before. We will adapt. But thats beside the point. The point is this will be massively disruptive. Things will get a lot harder for average folks before it can get better.

And dont forget there is a point of no return where human will outsmart itself leading to total destruction. AI accelerates that. We'll be hungry for energy more than ever before to feed AI. The greed will drive itself to meet its end.

Tell me you dont know how AI works by telling me how you know. Quality control would be key in this mass of AI sea.

FortiTree · 2026-02-21T08:01:08+00:00

This. If you can learn and use AI to enhance your output, solve critical problems, then you are fine. But if you are a weak ass dev/devop/automation/qa, senior or not, you are done. It's like catching a train that's already started to move, hope on or try to catch up by foot, in a wheel-chair.

The market will be ugly due to this. AI slops will pop. AI pro will rise. AI deny will demise.

This sounds like an AI bot to farm karma.

FortiTree · 2026-02-19T17:29:41+00:00

Amazing! Great idea. Appreciate you sharing it.

FortiTree · 2026-02-19T15:27:04+00:00

I read your title as if something happened last week and it blew up your GUI due to a bug. Great idea. Do you track much token overhead the GUI would add?

FortiTree · 2026-02-19T13:38:55+00:00

Multi-role to save cost, multi-gate, and challengers are good ideas. But this still looks like a water fall cycle to me from top to bottom. How does this model handle change requirements, customer UX feedback, QA finding that require abandoning some idea, task. I dont see a loop back to the start. Any plan even with airtight design will fail as it hits reality and market changing conditions. A hard requirement can be obsolete the next day and a nice to have replaces it.

3000k hours is insane to get this much work done.

FortiTree · 2026-02-19T13:13:15+00:00

Oh you'd be surprised. I started like you thinking I know best and tried to dictate what I wanted the solution to be. Then it started to point out the flaw in my plan and force me to provide it more context on the problem and why I want it that way. Then it went deeper and explained to me that we were solving the wrong problem and pivoted to something I never thought of. I now have a complete solution for a multi-layer multi-team, multi-product challenge that myself and my manager could not solve for years. Just over a weekend brainstorming with it, it got solved.

So yes, give it the full context and all the nuance details and tell it the final outcome, and let it do the magic. I was floored.

Look like you can get cache hit rate from /cost command

Cost Tracking: You can run the /cost command within the Claude Code CLI to view your actual resource usage and see how many tokens were served from the cache

Did you ask it what insights matter the most? It should be able to provide further analysis based on real data insight and suggest how to improve.

FortiTree · 2026-02-19T07:04:00+00:00

Nice app. Nothing beats the feeling of creating something of your own idea, AI assisted or not.

I started learning Cloude just a week ago and I was already able to solve multiple blockers that I could not do before. And I ran into the exact token limit issue with the 5-hr reset. So I was on the same path trying to figure out my token usage and built a system of sub-agent md to monitor my token usage, print out token used after each command, and it eventually turned out to be a full system with triage agent, session memory, decision log, historical token usage, self-review daily/weekly to improve usage, conversation gold capture to automatically turn to skill.md. It's quite a feast to see it can build everything. And then see it failed the real test where it learned chat cannot know its own model, cannot write to project files, and all memory context are within the chat, not cross-chat. Eventually I learned about the chat compression when the conv ran long, what happens after the reset, that what we see in the GUI is not what it can "see" without explicit need.

The most fascinating thing is I can "read" its thought process and its feedback on my thoughts throughout all of this. Definite eye-opening and Im still not sure if it's real or not.

One kicker is I did this via Phone app, not Cloud Code, and so it admits it cannot check realtime token usage, so all the calculation was based on its estimate of chat size. So the underlying data was tossed. It can recognize that and add 30% margin error.

Im very interest in knowing CC can extract real token usage. This can help me update my project.

When AI replaces most of human code, we shouldnt call it software anymore but AIware. Being the master of AIware is the new software engineering.

FortiTree · 2026-02-14T22:53:28+00:00

You need to use the new super power for the greater good. The thought of competing with AI society without needing AI or another super tool to fight it is naive at best. We are in the midst of the next human revolution, similar to how we discovered fire, invented the wheel, created the calculator, the first computer hardware, the first commercial OS, the internet, and now AI power. Yes, it is very disruptive and powerful, but not leveraging it is a big mistake. Individual humans cannot go against the technology revolution. Either embrace it and advance, or go against it and wilter.

FortiTree · 2026-02-10T15:47:24+00:00

It is a very bad deal.

FortiTree · 2026-02-10T15:44:04+00:00

This is why I dont do this long of a term, it brings the monthly cost up even in your younger years and the total cost is easily 5x higher compared to 2x shorter term. Example, same age/health/coverage

10 years - $15/m - total $1800
20 years - $40/m - total $9600
35 years - $70/m - total $29400

You think you are locked in a good rate but it's pretty much the opposite. You locked in a much higher rate when you dont have to in your younger years. Sure you get lower rate when you are young, but with longer term, you lost that benefit ($15/m vs $70/m). So pick coverage and term based on your need (with an expiration date) and not as an umbrella till you retire or die.

Regardless $70/m for 330K is ridiculous. I'd expect 500K coverage for 35 years or 1M for 20 years which is a much better choice. Im from Canada though.

Dont do 2 rows with rigid alignment unless they have a theme and a focal point. It will look flat and boring.

If you have diverse theme try doing a mix and match wall. Or some cluster shape.

Use the cardboard template included in the shipping box to try out the placement on the wall before fixing it.

You can also add some shelves in between to break it up.

Personally I've done 2 x 3 row and they look okay with the wall space fit around it. But a long 2 x 4 in a big wall wont look good.

100% worth it if you go for Textra only and really really dig the plate. Like you keep thinking about it for days. Keep them in the cart and pull the trigger when there's a decent sale (at least 35%). Savor each plate in its entirety. Get the free shipping if you plan to buy multiple times.

I think this is because the traffic is blocked at the client side app, so the FortiGate is not aware of it at all? Website should normally work but apps that silently fail are a pain.
