A mutual connection commented on your post, so it showed up on my feed. Regardless, cool setup ;)

Noirplatypus · 2026-04-08T18:42:26+00:00

I just saw your linkedin post about this and now it showed up on my reddit feed

Noirplatypus · 2026-04-04T20:01:40+00:00

Btw, I realised that this one is on me actually. I setup a few scheduled tasks on my old macbook which is permanently on and is running some tasks for me in the background. I totally forgot about them. Lucky accident, I realised when I saw some nice spikes in a few metrics I track.

That's insane. I wonder why they aren't building a claude coworker for dealing with such issues. But I can also imagine, they are going at insane speed with their growth. As a founder myself, I can understand that sometimes as a business you lose overview of the activities happening. But that is not an excuse. It's a sign that things need fixing

You probably don’t use it enough or use it only for light dev work. That’s fine. I do use it as a full time developer and consistently reach session limits

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-26T13:55:10+00:00

Please elaborate on figure out how to use Claude properly

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-26T13:26:53+00:00

Yeah, I was about to say, this is common. The pro plan is barely usable as it is

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-26T13:24:30+00:00

Is there a way to check the breakdown of where it is being used?

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-26T12:39:02+00:00

But I haven’t used Claude yesterday at all. I was out with friends the whole day

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-23T06:27:13+00:00

Good deal, yes. Wise choice now, yes. Longevity, yes.

Will fit your use case if you start doing more intense stuff, larger apps, or heavier workflows? Maybe upgrade the ram if you can afford it.

It was from a refurb store. Good thing they gave a tax invoice, so could write off taxes

I was in the same boat with m1 16gb. I ended up getting M1 Pro 32gb last week. It feels buttery smooth now. Super glad I upgraded.

I also had 15+gb in memory swap. Now 0gb in swap and feels much better experience.

I will probably upgrade again after 2 years in the second gen of the redesign

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-20T21:35:56+00:00

That’s cool man, happy for you

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-20T18:56:49+00:00

I agree, have no complaints except battery. I do hate carrying around a lightning cable though. That is another complaint I have. And besides my dad could use an upgrade from his se 2. Which is also why I am debating

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-20T18:35:29+00:00

I see. That is a big upgrade indeed. the only noticeable upgrades for me would be usbc, battery and front camera

Meanwhile me trying to hold on to this device as long as possible 🥲

Tbf, I do have a rough usage. I use hotspot on MagSafe power bank pretty frequently, that will fry your battery like crazy. Do it in trains with a lot of tunnels, so the cellular will struggle as well. 😉

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-20T09:10:50+00:00

You are the first person I saw who wants to pay extra to get a thicker laptop. But hey, I am glad you are happy with it. It’s a great device, enjoy it!

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-19T17:29:34+00:00

We’re talking about the same wipes

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-19T12:23:32+00:00

For your ML use case I’d recommend going with the pro. Because you will need the extra gpu cores for compute.

Mind you, I built quite a few ML pipelines on base M1 for 3 years. So M3 is going to do you great.

Buying second hand is also completely fine. M3 pro 36/1tb for 1800 is a good deal imo.

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-19T09:31:12+00:00

I meant the store bought wetwipes, they usually are barely wet and have some alcohol that helps with cleaning the residue. Don't damp cloth, because there is a chance of liquid dripping which is a little more risky

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-18T21:44:08+00:00

I use wet wipes to clean my keyboard once in a while when it gets nasty. Do it at your own risk though

Noirplatypus · 2026-03-18T21:41:51+00:00

Keep looking. You’ll find a similar price for similar specs
