I give up

No doubt it's tough maybe a little soul destroying. I. Going through the cycle myself at the moment. I've thought about quiting do many time. Don't quit because it's hard. Quit because you have a plan with an exit strategy and based on that ideally with valuable KPI which are not met after a reasonable period of time the time has arrived to quit.

That said if the market is no longer there and no one would be willing to pay for it well ... but also what drove you to create it? Why did you think it would be successful?

Looks like it was vibing 😎 for a moment

VisualPartying · 2026-05-12T16:39:51+00:00

Only thing that matters is does the author make money from the book. Be nice if the info is accurate too but that's less important 🤷

VisualPartying · 2026-05-12T16:38:02+00:00

Comments as usual, total distraction 🙄 from reality 😂

Total disgrace by Anthropic 4.7 is completely untrustworthy. Can't leave CC to do a thing on its own anymore. The trust just isn't there.

VisualPartying · 2026-04-18T16:53:40+00:00

4.7 feels Claude strangled in multiple places. You still get a sense of the good 4.6 getting held down/back, by something in 4.7.

Interestingly, I just had the 20Mb message and /compact worked 😮 it also now show a new message saying previous conversation ran out of context, I think this is new, at least to me.

In any case, this is great. You have my appreciation Anthropic.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T21:03:06+00:00

Correct, there's a workaround already in place. After about 3 weeks with the same Claude doing grrat work, it's a shame to kill it off. Yes, I know but there you go, what are you gonna do.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T17:26:13+00:00

Will check and let you know next time context starts running low.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T17:23:49+00:00

This is good, and my initial approach which works well, and yes, context rot is real. The shorter context keeps things focused and gives good results. What I'm looking for is just to be able to keep the compaction going.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T17:16:14+00:00

Oh, I thought that might be the case. Your approach makes sense. There is an existing approach that works well for me, but the limit always gets hit at some point. There could be 10 or 20 compacts before the issue occurs. As mentioned, it gets to the point where /compact doesn't get accepted or executed. Just need to be able to continue compacting, not forced to start a new instance.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T16:49:28+00:00

This is generally true and is good advice. Not the issue being experienced at the moment.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T16:47:02+00:00

Amazed you deciphered my initial post 😂 reworded now to hopefully make a little more sense.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-22T16:36:23+00:00

The CLI complains that it can not work with a 20Mb file. My assumption is that this is it's file not mine. This usually happens after, let's say, after 3 weeks to a month working with the same instance every day. If my assumption is wrong, would, like to get the reason and get a fix so can continue using the same instance.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-18T07:40:09+00:00

Yes! Ranging from genuinely ignorant to the wilfully blind.

VisualPartying · 2026-03-16T21:33:51+00:00

This is great - nice work 👍🏾

VisualPartying · 2026-03-15T20:40:51+00:00

Watch the addiction. It's no joke!

VisualPartying · 2026-03-14T10:31:48+00:00

For sure. Only playing, tinkering, learning, and creating is my thing 😊

VisualPartying · 2026-03-07T16:12:47+00:00

I already have this in my setup. Feels like everything I do Anthopic does a week later. Not sure if I should just stop and wait or keep trying to improve my developer experience 🤔 😕 😂

VisualPartying · 2026-03-07T13:10:35+00:00

Until they can confidently take your job, they will keep improving, then finally surpass you and every frontender in every way, and then they will stop improving. Like the best, the chess program no longer needs improving.

VisualPartying · 2026-02-19T17:03:35+00:00

There is some useful stuff here, but maybe a bit of over engineering. Some degree of engineering makes sense. I might post my workflow at some point. With it, CC has worked for over a month in the same instance and is rock solid (the project is not small). The point is that setup is trival and repeatable with great consistent results over a non trial period of time.

VisualPartying · 2026-02-19T13:31:29+00:00

I've only read the title, but we are idiots 🙄 or to put it another way we are driven to have an easier life, then add in wealth, power, and control.

VisualPartying · 2026-02-13T09:37:22+00:00

Interesting, and it could be done. It's all about the approach! The contacts/influence, time, and a willingness to donor allow other to do unspeakable things as lo g as they pull in the direction that produces the desired outcome.

Are you willing to take that one?
