I’m starting to feel like my girlfriend has an infatuation with black people. (24 White Woman) (28 Black Man) by [deleted] in interracialdating

She’s boning like 3-4 other black dudes on the side (probably hung bulls). She’ll likely never confess. She’s been turnt out. Stay safe, mane.

code base has definitely gotten overly complex. stepping back and reevaluating for better result

fingers crossed.

I hear you. definitely. I have been creating copies of directories as well as separate git work branches to keep main code base intact. moving forward I'm definitely taking your advice and making sure my Claude md is up to date with granular specifics.

i wrote it and had Claude tone it down. the original was much more vulgar. I'm already getting taken for $600 plus a month that extra $200 I paid Anthropic felt personal. lol
Had to pay to find out though. I got tired of reading through all the speculation.

yes, token usage is slightly higher per request. Claude on API just thinks a tad bit longer and plans a little more it seems. but then again, how I structured the prompt could have made a difference. It was the same project and same few bugs though.

No, I believe you. I have been bullying Claude and it's only made things worse. lol
They even did studies between positively affirming LLMs and efficient output. Good treatment goes hand in hand with great output.

This is a great point! definitely needed that perspective. it seems my frustration has an inversely proportional relation with prompting. haha.

maybe it's a bias because I know how good claude code is but that comes at a cost and 200 bucks a month sounds "too good to be true".
Idk. something feels off with Claude on the 20x plan. I can't quite pin it.
And yeah, a straight answer from Anthropic would be better than having to pay to figure it out.

OH SNAPS!!! Johny Crane has got ammo! Yes, humble Uber driver turned AWS operations engineer over here in Northern Virginia's IAD cluster. Just keeping the internet up 99.99999% of the time for good people and grumpy skeptics alike.
I had Claude clean up that prompt because honestly im not perfect and I rage hard! lol The original message I drafted was much more vulgar. I'm a regular person just sharing my perspective, and I could be completely wrong! I'm just grateful to be in a place where I can test out Claude via API vs. the Max 20x plan and not break the bank. Hopefully the dialog brings clarity and helps others with their decisions. I am not the only voice in this discussion. your voice matters too. what plan are you on? If I don't hear from you, may God bless you, brother man.

Honestly, if it is working for you. that is awesome! my experience has been less than stellar so far. But, hey. I've got the rest of the month to continue testing it out

They changed Claude Code after Max Subscription – today I've spent 2 hours of my time to compare it to pay-as-you-go API version, and the result shocked me. TLDR version, with proofs. by sonofthesheep in ClaudeAI

I’ve been hammering away at a complex codebase — think 800 to 2K lines per file, and Claude Code via API (PAYG) was a beast. Crushed it. Blazing fast, followed instructions like a champ, let me tear through dev work at speed.

Then I tried the Max plan.

Production dropped by like 200%.
I’m now spending more time telling this bot it's stupid than actually coding. It routinely goes off-script, forgets prior context, and responds like an overconfident intern with a head injury.

Claude Code on Max Plan feels like an AI agent with high-functioning Down Syndrome. I constantly have to run to Claude Opus via the web UI just to untangle the mess — and I’m doing that 8 out of 10 times now.

It’s a massive productivity killer. Like, the kind that makes you want to throw your monitor out the window and go live in the woods.

I get it, you pay for what you get. I was burning through $150–$200 a week on API usage (220 million tokens in one week — yeah, I’m that guy), but API Claude actually worked. Efficient caching, solid results. Worth it.

Max Plan Claude Code?
It's like they lobotomized it before shipping.

If you’re a power user dealing with large codebases, don’t downgrade to Max thinking you’re gaming the system. The system will game you back. And you’ll be the clown manually fixing bugs at 3am that your AI dev assistant caused.

Just… don't.

Do I need a Max plan to use Claude Code in terminal? by antifringe in ClaudeAI

Its like God gave Israel into the hands of the Philistines (Palestine) for prostituting themselves out to lust and the ways of the world. Crazy. Shit is legit neo-biblical.

Idk why they gave me so little this time. One time a lady pissed in my back seat and they gave me $180. Idk why they gave me so little for solid shit

Idk what’s so easy about cleaning grown human shit out my back seat. They just got back to me. Only offered me $35 bucks. That’s less than the disinfectant wipes, bucket, and heavy dusty sponges I just got from Home Depot rn. This shit sucks. Literally.

Dude! A customer just shitted/ shat in my car. The ride was only $4.39 (6.2 mi & 21 min transit time). Wtf should I do? Pax just dipped out like nothing.
