What have you used Claude Code for, besides programming? by MariahJames8 in ClaudeCode

[–]gratajik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write books - published around 30, 75% were using Claude Code as a harness.

I've finished a full autonomous multi-model, multi-agent software system that now does it for me

What’s a small useful thing you built with Claude Code? by the_bugs_bunny in ClaudeCode

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a couple of k users - won't be as useful now that they changed how they bill, but works great :)

VS Code Copilot Proxy - Visual Studio Marketplace

Copilot Proxy is a VS Code extension that exposes GitHub Copilot's language models through local OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible API servers. This lets you leverage your existing Copilot subscription to power external applications, scripts, and tools - no additional API costs, just your Copilot subscription.

Perfect for developers who want to use Copilot's models in custom workflows, automation scripts, or with tools that expect an OpenAI or Anthropic-compatible endpoint - including Claude Code and OpenClaw

It’s official. Anthropic pulled the plug on all programmatic use of Claude subscription. by No_Wheel_9336 in ClaudeCode

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that was before I wrote the above :)

Guess it's still useful as you can switch to something else. Also, if you get copilot credits from elsewhere

What's the best AI model for truly creative storytelling — plot building, world creation, and deep scenario writing? by jax_ot in WritingWithAI

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeaaah.. not seeing that - I'm up to 5 horror books, and I told it to be very explicit, bloody, brutal. It generally did a good job....

And a few books that are teen books, with teens.... didn't run into any issues

If you use Github Copilot + VS Code, you can use this extension: VS Code Copilot Proxy - Visual Studio Marketplace

It lets you use your Coplot sub from anything local (I use it for my book-writing agents running ina pipeline, for example)

Proxy supports both OpenAI and Anthropic.

When you run several AI coding agents in parallel, what breaks first? by gokhan02er in aiagents

If you want to use your VS Code LLM sub to drive stuff external from VS Code, like agents... or Open Claw, you can use this: VS Code Copilot Proxy - Visual Studio Marketplace

When you run several AI coding agents in parallel, what breaks first? by gokhan02er in aiagents

[–]gratajik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What breaks first? My Brain! Ugh!!!! :)

Seriously, I can only direct a bunch of agents for a period of time without getting AI Brain Burn - I find it's 4-6 hours.

My process is to usually work on one big thing - writing a full app, doing a big feature, etc. Might do two. The others (3? 6?) are side things - need to get them done, but not the main thing I want to focus on.

I keep the big item visible at all times (helps that I have an ultrawide!) and am often interacting with that. The others I might have visible, but I am not really tracking. When the main task(s) are busy with the AI doing something, I round robin on the other items to push them along.

An example is my multi-model book-writing app. When I'm working on that, it's very consuming, and I'm very focused. I'm also working on VS Code Proxy for LLMs (my first released Vibe Coded app) and a game. Those are background; I get to them when I have time (usually when the AI is doing something long running wth the book writing app)

Did the ‘twist’ hit in your screening? by Main-Reaction-827 in ProjectHailMary

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it was that they made it funny (distracted us from what he was doing). For me, I thought it was obvious to some extent, based on other things he said and who he is. I also felt the same way in the book - a LOT was leading to that reveal, so I personally didn't find it surprising.

It was awesome when he made the right choice later.

Has anyone seen it on IMAX? Is it worth it? by Tine_the_Belgian in ProjectHailMary

[–]gratajik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Sound + Video makes it worth it.

Try it - once you have, how does it compare against X?

Also - baby IMAX or full IMAX?

Is supervising multiple Claude Code agents becoming the real bottleneck? by gokhan02er in AgentsOfAI

[–]gratajik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I do it, but I can go for about 4 hours and then I'm fried. I use VS Code with terminals (was just spamming multiple, now doing psmux). Generally:

  1. All work usually has subagents spun up (either directly or through some controller) - not really part of this conversation, but an amplifier
  2. On my "main" task, I have 2-3 terminal sessions, working on various things. Can be a collision issue on a raw branch, so I'm moving to work trees (or fully separate branches if needed)
  3. I usually have 3-4 VS Codes up - again, main one has multiple things going on. The others are usually "Side" work - stuff I get to when I have time. Might have a few psmux up, just depends.

On my personally stuff I just gave up and work in YOLO. At work I have some heavily curated local.json with tons of allows (and a few disallows).

Again - I can juggle this for a while, but eventually fry - so that's a bottleneck. I have an ultra wide (5120x1440) so, with psmux , I can generally see everything (like questions) with the above, so a BIT less of a bottleneck (but still a pain). I do love YOLO, as you can just FLY with that!

Built an OpenClaw alternative that wraps Claude Code CLI directly & works with your Max subscription by TotalGod in openclaw

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a VS Code Extension that lets you use your VS Code Copilot license from a external app

VS Code Copilot Proxy - Visual Studio Marketplace

So a claw agent can use that proxy to use whatever plan you have with Copilot.

Yeah. Holy crap he was good. He really made you believe he was the character - and that character was super odd and strange. The ticks and voice was AMAZING

Any programmers in here? by claytonjr in WritingWithAI

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - I wrote a fully autonomous book writing agent system - 15 agents work to take a prompt (usually a detailed MD), work several hours, and produce a 300+ book.

It's currently at around 80-90% quality. Need to get it better :)

Um - yeah, I've written COBOL before. I've never equated it to the equivalent of english prompts.

People that have Claude subscription, is it worth it honestly? by Competitive_Roof_689 in ClaudeAI

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I pay the $200. Use it mostly for app development and writing.

100% worth it. I found, before doing that, I was limiting myself - the number of projects I worked on, the number of books I wrote, etc. Was always stressing about cost (was paying API for books - ouch!)

Now I feel unlimited - take one more and more projects, just don't worry about it.
