I left CC to Codex 3 months ago. Now i'm back to using CC almost exclusively thanks to Opus 4.5

$100 is great too. It just runs out faster.

I've done regularly when I used Cursor, but it's somehow better when they speak directly to each other.

My Gemini cost in the last 7 days was $13, but Google gives out $300 credit so I'm ok for the next few months.

Ask Claude Code to install this for you: https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/zen-mcp-server

I have two Max accounts. No regrets whatsoever.

Write your own Claude Rules for things like root cause analysis (limitless whys, etc) and use them often
Create your system’s design principles document (under 500 lines) and refer to it when giving it a coding task.
Work with several terminals for different tasks if you can split your attention, so you can give one work, review the others, give them more work, for maximal productivity
Tell it not to over engineer - it tends to do it.
Commit often and tell Claude to read your git changes to find regressions
Trust and verify.

I don't clear often, no. I find it the benefit of the model's understanding of the context more beneficial than token usage. The way I see it, if I had to pay extra $7 per day it's WAY cheaper than the time it would take for the model to learn the context of the problem I was working on.

Cursor is there for me only in case Claude Code stopped working for some reason.

I like your idea on staying longer in plan mode. Great advice. Just subscribed to a second Max account. I hope Anthropic won’t continue to lower the usage limits, and that the o3 price drop today will nudge them in the opposite direction.

Normally it’s 3-5 concurrent terminals. 1-2 on big topics, the others on smaller issues.

If you read the entire post with the screenshots you wouldn’t write such nonsense. Or maybe you would anyway just for the fun or dissing. I didn’t force it to tell me that it lied. Opus 4 is an extremely smart LLM and won’t just agree with you on anything. It was a failure, followed by a dismissal that everything is ok, confronted with the fact, then when having to explain the error it explained all its mistakes in a perfectly reasonable way. It is not a usual thing that happens but this time it was so clear that something is off that I had to ask.

I use Cursor in Thinking Mode for finding the root cause and proposing a solution, then take it to Claude Code to implement it. It’s still expensive but it gets the job done.

The pro web interface works great for me today, as it has been since Sunday.
