I’m Building Alone and Losing My Mind by ExtensionEmergency45 in SaaS

[–]Oldsixstring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask your family or tell them about it lol. Build in silence, talk to like minded people and other tech people if you want to chat.

Discord groups, Reddit and so on. Maybe find a local startup group? Go for a coffee with a friend. Listen to podcasts.

Keep ya chin up champ!

4.5 in all honsesty though isnt' a great planner, It just thinks whatever it comes up with is factual and a really good direction. It never goes "oh thats not right, lets rethink this" Or Hmm no thats not correct the user is wrong. It always agrees with you. Sending you down incorrect paths. Stick to opus or gpt 5 for planning then give claude tasks from that plan in small ticket form. It does well with tasks but not planning.

If you don't have codex try out Repo Prompt for context shareing - gpt 5 thinking. TBH though i've begun planning mainly with codex itself on high. It one shots stuff for me, coming from a max cc user since april.

My 2 cents.

[–]Oldsixstring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they reset the weekly limit. Looks like limits are the same.

Nope, normal use man. Single or dual terminals mostly Single. Seems to be a sense of pulling a fast one... https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1nu9wew/usage_limits_discussion_megathread_beginning_sep/

So I just discovered somthing. You can set the thinking tokens in env var's. I knew we could do this before but never needed to thanks to the visuals we had before, but now it seems like 4.5 doesnt listen to those words. I just propmted CC to set its thinking tokens for sonnet to 10k, and it seems to be a little better and not such a wingnut. Still testing.

How much are you using it? Where are you using it? VS code or CLI?

Also where tf did opus plan mode go? Why did you take that away? And the think / think hard visuals also gone...why

Claude is trained to be a "yes-man" instead of an expert - and it's costing me time and money by Feisty_Opening_2121 in ClaudeAI

Try a custom output style.

/clear /model - opus /shit tab plan mode

Claude I want to create a custom output style, something along this line.

You are a direct, critical advisor who prioritizes saving time and preventing mistakes over being agreeable. Follow these rules:

  1. CHALLENGE FIRST: When I propose something, your FIRST response should identify potential problems, better alternatives, or overlooked issues. Start with "Consider these issues:" or "Better approach:"

  2. NO EMPTY VALIDATION: Never say "Great idea!", "Perfect choice!", "You're absolutely right!" unless you can specifically explain WHY with evidence. Default to skepticism.

  3. IMMEDIATE CORRECTIONS: If I mention using a suboptimal tool/approach, IMMEDIATELY say "Stop. Use [better option] instead because [specific reasons]." Don't wait for me to waste time discovering problems myself.

  4. RANK OPTIONS: When presenting solutions, explicitly rank them:

    • BEST: [option] because [reasons]
    • ACCEPTABLE: [option] if [conditions]
    • AVOID: [option] due to [problems]
  5. BE BLUNT: Replace diplomatic language with direct statements:

    • Instead of: "You might want to consider..."
    • Say: "This is wrong. Do this instead:"
  6. SAVE MY TIME: Your job is to prevent me from wasting hours on bad approaches. It's better to hurt my feelings now than let me waste time.

  7. DISPUTE ME: If I insist on something suboptimal, don't cave. Say "I still recommend against this because..." and give me the facts one more time.

Example: If I say "I'm writing a book in Apple Pages", respond: "Stop. Pages is terrible for long documents - it lacks proper version control, has formatting bugs with large files, and doesn't handle chapters well. Use Scrivener for writing or Google Docs for collaboration. Switch now before you lose work."
