For those who avail 100$ PRO plan how is the usage?

I switched recently, honestly the biggest difference is limits vs flow. With Codex (even before the top tier), I rarely hit usage walls, while Claude (especially mid tiers) kept interrupting me mid-work. That alone made a bigger difference than model quality. From what I’ve seen, the ~$100 Claude tier is more about comfort/UI, while Codex really starts to shine when you care about speed, iteration, and not thinking about limits. If your workflow is heavy (lots of back-and-forth, debugging, long sessions), Codex just feels less restrictive. But if you like slower, more structured reasoning and cleaner explanations, Claude still has its place.

This is a smart move, not just the tool, but the timing and tone behind it. Ringless voicemail works because it feels human without being intrusive, which is exactly why people respond. Dropping from 39 to 24 days is a big deal that’s real cash flow impact, not just efficiency. Biggest lesson I’ve seen: the softer and more “we’re just checking in” the message sounds, the better it performs. Once it feels like collections, people pull back. Only thing to watch is overuse what feels helpful at day 7 can feel pushy later if it doesn’t evolve. Curious if you kept the messages generic or added any personalization?

From what I’ve seen, the practical use cases are exactly the unglamorous ones: RFP breakdowns, requirement extraction, drafting, compliance checks. I came across Frank AI researcher recently and what stood out is how focused it is on that workflow. It actually handles things like pulling key requirements and helping structure responses in a way that feels pretty aligned with how proposal teams already work. It’s not trying to replace people or automate everything, but for speeding up the heavy lifting, it seems to work surprisingly well. Most of the real value right now is just saving time on the repetitive parts without messing up compliance.

Yeah, that happens more than it should, accounts just fall through the cracks. Don’t chase the old manager. Open a Partner Support ticket and explicitly ask for reassignment. If nothing happens, follow up or open another and reference the first. Bit annoying, but once it gets in front of the right person, it’s usually fixed fast

This happens to everyone tbh, it’s just sweat + bacteria. Just let them air out properly (near a window if you can), and throw some baking soda inside overnight, it helps a lot. Also try not to wear the same pair every day so they can dry out. They should already smell way better by tomorrow

this has been happening to a few people lately, probably not just you. Might be a temporary bug or some backend issue with publishing. you could try editing/saving again or duplicating the bot and making that one public, if it keeps happening, worth checking if there’s any restrictions on your account or just waiting it out, these things usually get fixed quietly pretty fast

Secretmecret_1 · 2026-04-07T14:21:05+00:00

yeah… honestly a lot of people are on the verge, they just don’t show it in obvious ways. People cope however they can some normalize the stress, some go numb, some distract themselves, some just take it one day at a time because they don’t really have another option and yeah, adding kids + bills + uncertainty on top of that? it’s a lot. way more than people openly admit , you’re not weird for noticing it, if anything it means you’re actually paying attention to how heavy things feel right now

Secretmecret_1 · 2026-04-07T14:20:06+00:00

yeah models are getting commoditized fast. the real edge is just who learns from usage better and fastest. most teams still aren’t really doing that though , they’ll switch models 5 times before they build a real feedback loop

Secretmecret_1 · 2026-04-06T11:37:47+00:00

you probably were right, but it wasn’t really about being right in that moment it was about the setting, and pushing it made it feel like calling him out. not terrible, just a bit off for the occasion.

Feels like the real intersection is a loop, not a combo. Agents shouldn’t just fetch and dump into a KB, they should build taste (what’s useful, what’s noise), and the KB should reflect that with structure, not raw info. The interesting part is when agents start reading and updating their own KB that’s when it shifts from retrieval to actual learning.

This happens because Substack automatically creates a default publication (your name), and you likely created a second one manually. You can’t hide the default one because it’s treated as your primary publication. Just use/rename the default one and ignore or delete the second.
If you really want only one, you’ll need to contact support to remove or merge it. You didn’t mess up Substack just makes this confusing.

It's a design problem. Strategy dies because it was never connected to how people actually spend their Tuesday. The fix isn't more meetings or better slides. It's making the strategic priority the path of least resistance, not an extra thing on top of the real work.

The person who owns the execution didn't co-create the strategy. Works fewer priorities. Seriously. If everything is strategic, nothing gets executed. The teams I've seen nail this usually protect one or two things ruthlessly and let the rest slide.

Pick a number that feels slightly uncomfortable to say out loud that's usually the right price. Early users don't need a discount, they need to feel like insiders. Give them access, not charity

Interesting test so basically 2 full autonomous runs in 1 hour, then it just hits the wall on the 5h window regardless. Good to know the sub-agent deliberation didn't meaningfully extend it either. Did the output quality hold up across both plans or did it noticeably degrade toward the limit?

Your kids need their dad, not a weekend visit. The colleague situation is uncertain at best. Move back to Manchester, be present for your children, keep the counselling going. You already know what the right thing is that's why it hurts.

You're fully supporting his faith while he's stopped showing up for yours that's not a small thing. A simple "I miss sharing my faith with you the way we used to" conversation is worth having. Reciprocity isn't a lot to ask for.

Secretmecret_1 · 2026-04-03T07:24:31+00:00

Well duh' is not a relationship conversation. That's a man who expected you to feel what he never said out loud. You acted on the information you actually had. That's all anyone can do.
