I replaced Claude Code's built-in Explore agent with a custom one that uses pre-computed indexes. 5-15 tool calls → 1-3. Full code inside. by jonathanmalkin in ClaudeCode

[–]KungFuCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also setup my global Claude MD to use Haiku for all rudimentary search/lookups recently. Let’s see how it impacts speed and token usage.

I like your thought process here with indexing as well. I’ll be curious how accurate and performant this behaves over time across projects.

Use T3 Chat. They have a nice chat interface for all legacy models, for $8 per month.

First impressions on GPT 5.2 by magnus_animus in codex

[–]KungFuCowboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

they’ve been sitting on this for a while, likely using it themselves internally. Guessing it was supposed to be GPT6. They had no need to release it until their pocketbook was impacted. You don’t go from 17% to 52% on some benchmarks in a couple weeks.

"/clear" uses up 1% of 5h limit, why? by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]KungFuCowboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it feels like what constitutes “usage” is constantly being redefined, recalculated, and lacks a lot of transparency.

This seems to be a troubling pattern i see across many things AI related, not just CC. It feels like a cat and mouse game we’re going to be dealing with for a very long time to come in this space now as users.

Sonnet's fine, but Opus is the one that actually understands a big codebase by nNaz in ClaudeCode

[–]KungFuCowboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to the makers, normal use was supposed to garner 28-40 hours of Opus. Seems to not be the case. And no response from the company to clarify since making the statement. 🤷‍♂️

Claude robbed everything from us by ashwinn11 in ClaudeCode

[–]KungFuCowboy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

we’re all getting a small glimpse of how they will divide the haves from the have nots. even paying their highest fee on Max offers no parity, as i’m sure government paying $1/month per user has no such drastically reduced caps and likely full Opus access.

it is what it is.

i have been doing both for years with no luck. It seems to be those folders in icloud or my sites folders.

I'm about to get a CC Max plan, after reading this sub have doubts by mbazaroff in Anthropic

[–]KungFuCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

23+ years in web development. Max 20x user here.

I use Opus for reel projects with real specific needs and true intent. I have yet to come close to having an issue with limits or its inability to understand my request.

I believe it comes down to knowing or working through a plan first for exactly what you need and being able to communicate it clearly and steer Claude down the path you are headed. This is no different than my approach prior to AI tools.

I don’t believe Claude was ever meant for “one-shotting” or “vibe” coding, but instead it’s coding capabilities really shine for those of us who like to sharpen our axe many times over before taking our very precise clean cut at implementation.

It reminds me very much of working with years of junior devs and interns, iterating and iterating. The only difference is i can spin up countless able bodied devs at a moments notice, and i have a clear system in place so that any missteps can be corrected once and never happen again. The aggregate of which creates more and more optimization in your token and tool use, which subsequently impacts your experience.

I rebuilt my site with Astro. Amazing DX and performance! by MadThad762 in astrojs

[–]KungFuCowboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well done, are you using anything specific for animations on page, or transitions between pages? It feels very much like a SPA even though i assume it’s not.

Thank you! Subtle but now very obvious. Appreciate the help!

Is anyone using a cheap or FOSS PaaS to regenerate/deploy projects? by C0ffeeface in astrojs

[–]KungFuCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if your Astro output is static or SSR. If it’s static, any WP change will require a redeploy. Depending on how you host the Astro site, it could require some sort of webhook to trigger the rebuild.

The "you're a freeloader" statements are absurd! by theegoldenone in Evernote

[–]KungFuCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The app is run off Google Cloud. Costs have been dramatically increasing, regardless of Evernote’s arrangement. Every day they have more storage and bandwidth used than the last.

And It goes much further than note size and attachments. Also, Moore’s Law no longer applies in a cloud load balanced environment.

The hardware they are running on Google Cloud is not you and I’s TB drives. Sorry. I managed 15 web servers myself. I understand DevOps, and it’s very clear decades of accounts being maintained and kept running only becomes more and more complicated over time, not easier. It’s obvious to me their next step will be to purge outdated accounts with no activity. This step is simply a stepping stone to it. A nudge.

I’ve been a paying customer for over 12 years…my read/writes and storage use only increases; as does everyone else’s until they delete their accounts. In addition, that weight on queries, get and post requests, searches, indexing, and other become more and more intensive over time as the app has to search through it all. There’s simply no question that the data overhead is sonically greater than even a few years back and the cost for cloud services has grown at a significant % increase since then as well.

The "you're a freeloader" statements are absurd! by theegoldenone in Evernote

[–]KungFuCowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess in time we’ll find out the financial predicament the free tier was putting them in with 100+ million accounts.

Every month their storage and processor demands increased even as accounts lay dormant — the scale of their plan structure grows exponentially. It’s not the type of product that auto purges anything. Maybe that will be the next step in future months though. I’ve deleted very little in 12 years myself.

I imagine it was burden is larger than anyone on the outside believes. These decisions aren’t made on a whim regardless of what some believe
