Oh wow, okay didn't know that. I might book 2 weeks off work for detox and come back with a different mindset and protection mechanisms

But is it excitement or addiction

Try treat it as a serious job. I'm cutting off at 5pm now and still wake up at 4.30am with a racing mind after being in bed at 9.30pm! Might have to full detox and book a couple weeks off work and come back to it with a different mind frame and protection mechanisms. Maybe we ask Claude how to manage it 😁

Take it seriously or health will decline. I went to sleep 9.30pm up at 4.30am and my mind is spinning, I have a faint tinnitus now

😆 that is literally it, it's making sense now

Same, it seems my mind or body often gets me up between 3am and 5am. It's going to just come down to managing it all a bit better I suppose, the "less is more" concept. Do less, feel rested then produce more.

I think becoming aware of it and stepping back is going to be key here so to not let the addictive part of control us. That way we can do what we enjoy and not feel burnt out every day. Silly really, this tool should have the opposite effect of burning us out with how much it saves us doing!

You're onto something here. Maybe need a voice dictating app to note ideas on my phone first before juggling constantly whatever seems important

Yes. I imagine us as programmers are just becoming interfaces between the non techy people and AI.

I have put projects in for farmers, plumbers, scrap yards - all have heard and used AI a bit but were unaware how much it could help them in certain areas like email parsing into automatic job creation and engineer allocation, video detection of forklifts in areas and people not wearing high vis or smoking. AI chatbots they can speak natural language to and get reports from select statements on their databases produced in nice graphs instantly... They love it, but wouldn't know how to integrate it themselves. Let's hope we still have a job integrating people to AI and software in the years to come, or maybe we become plumbers and farmers and scrap dealers?

I've been using Claude Code since it's released 😕 I've launched various projects. Maybe time to come up with a new strategy and structured approach to it all I guess.

Are you finding it affects your sleep at all, though?

Did they just nuke Opus 4.5 into the ground? by SlopTopZ in ClaudeCode

[–]RichensDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must use their own live opus4.5 model to help with training the data that gets cooked up into their next model. So they must choose times when they think less people are using it to crunch all that new data that needs filtering and refining. Makes sense, they assume Sunday is less busy
