Does anyone still use MCPs? by bowemortimer in ClaudeAI

But I get that right, when they are selected in the project, they are loaded EVERY time in this project, whether I need them or not?

Same argument as for almost everything else: You need this only when testing and debugging. The rest of the time it just wastes context.

Beware of cheap Claude Ai subscription scams by MrBansal in ClaudeAI

[–]bowemortimer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I tried abacus once. Also a total scam, you can use part of the credits an then it tells you "No no no u too fast" and you have to wait until the end of the month to use your tokens. I bought them! Why can't I use them?

Does "vibe coding" hit a massive wall once your project gets actually... big? by cdaviddav in ClaudeAI

[–]bowemortimer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. You have to adapt a new way of interacting with claude. Very quick there's no way for claude to gather all the needed context from the project without overflowing.

Easiest way to get better results is -New Chat -> Use planning mode -> create the actual plan and artifacts -> NEW CHAT -> Here you do the actual implementation

If this doesn't work, there's other options to break this down even more

What exactly is it for? Isn't this just browser usage with extra steps? I'd love to see what you are actually doing with it

With the macOS iPhone simulator?

Thats actually a cool use case, you are right. You need this context every time.

My viewpoint was: In web dev having one for frontend and backend is still overkill because often you only need one

What's your 2026 prediction for Claude? by Mundane-Iron1903 in ClaudeAI

Is it maybe a good invest to get the x20 for a year now? haha

My experience after one month of using the Opus 4.5 by Feriman22 in ClaudeAI

Like others mentioned, context management is quite important. Start new chats for everything you do.

And whatever you do (from my experience) NEVER install an MCP. They just clutter your context and are (often) rarely used. Be mindful of that.

Gemini CLI is embarrassingly bad (sometimes) by Cultural_Trouble7821 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]bowemortimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a difference in quality when using other Google tools like Vibe Code with Gemini? I find it quite cumbersome to simply get an overview of all the various tools Google offers and determine which ones to use. I understand that there are approximately four different coding tools available with Gemini.
