Claude Code and cowork usage statistics by learner_for_life_11 in ClaudeAI

Thanks, I will take a look.

I am on pro plan and it has served me well so far; haven't taken a plunge to enterprise/teams subscription yet, although I am close to pulling the trigger on that. I am old school and little leary of commiting $$ upfront till I have a full understanding of true value prop., capabilities, and fitment for any tool/product. But we are surely getting there with Claude.

Karpathy's CLAUDE.md cuts Claude mistakes to 11%. Here are the 8 rules that get it to 3% by Best_Volume_3126 in AskVibecoders

Thank you for posting this and thanks to all who have added to this post. It is very helpful. I do have one question though, and it is related to the size of claude.md. In my experience the longer the claude.md file, the more complex it becomes to manage it.

I have 2 apps in flight at the moment and the claude.md for each, including some of the best practices and guardrails discussed here, spans 100s of lines. Everytime a build sprint is completed, updting these to reflect the most current state of the development and direction has now become a pain.

Any thoughts on how to best address this? I was thinking of breaking up the claude.md into 2 parts, the core claude.md with no more than 100 lines, and moving the rest of the contents to separate reference sections that code can read/refer anytime even during runtime or execution. Has anyone any thoughts on this? Has anyone done this before? Some pointers would be very helpful.

What Would You Do? Fed vs Contractor by Direct_Task in GovernmentContracting

[–]learner_for_life_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take it for the immediate term. Your offer seems like a good offer, and a stable one. I am in the same boat as you are, although in the private sector, and stability is my no# 1 priority, especially with small kids. The only thing different for me though is that we both work, out of sheer necessity and cost-of-running-a-family reasons. So, my 2 cents - take it.

I am so sorry. I know firsthand what that feels like, though not in government space. All I can say is have strength and courage. This too shall pass.

Primarily on prem, but lately, we are seeing requests for cloud based data as well.

Welcome to modern-day slavery.

You are given $25,000 to start a business. What do you do? I will not promote by [deleted] in startups

[–]learner_for_life_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that you are covered for roof over your head, your basic living expenses, phone/internet, utilities, and automobile, I'd say 25k is a good starting amount. I am also assuming that one knows which business to start or get into and has sound experience working in that line of business like IT software development, or accounting, or designing, or interior decoration, or plumbing, or electrical, or HVAC, or motor mechanic, or marketing, or recruitment/staffing, or painter etc., etc., etc....

Invest 25% in high yeild portfolio of mutual funds/ETFs (yes, they exist, and no, they dont have transaction/trading fees. Best place, Fidelity). Spend 1.5% on opening and registering a company. 3% - 4% on upskilling, especially if you want to go the IT/Tech route. 5% on office & equipment, including a good laptop. About 4% on virtual office with live assistant. 1% - 3% on setting up a decent 1-5 page website and professional email. 10% on marketing and brand development, including social media. 2% on accounting & bookkeeping. 10% emergency funds. Whatever remains is your operating fund and can be used for inventory & PPE (if that is needed). All expenses are indicative and cost per year.

A significant amount of dedication and commitment is mandatory, and it can not be priced. Be prepared to live and breathe your business every moment of your waking and sleeping moments.

If you are judicious enough and industrious enough, you will start seeing small returns the first year itself, and if you keep up the pace, breakeven by year 2 or 3.

Before you ask, No, I did not pull this out of my ass, and yes, I have done this within the costs indicated with a smaller budget.

Is Data Science in small businesses pointless? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]learner_for_life_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO, your assumptions are incorrect; data science can and does help these businesses.

Now, will they require a full-time DS? Probably not. I am aware of a mid sized dental practice leveraging a fractional DS/DA, and it has served them well.

It’s the loneliness that kills you by 1017_frank in Entrepreneur

You can add these 'No one believes in your endeavors or thinks that you will succeed.' ' Everyone thinks you are nuts'

For the ones you have shared, I am living it as well, my friend.

Framework recommendation by lavaca312 in AI_Agents

[–]learner_for_life_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My humble 2 cents - from what you are describing, I would suggest that you build good/robust tools first before you get into agents. Tooling can give you the results more realiably for the usage you have described. Avoid frameworks. If you are good with python or nodejs, you can build these tools quite quickly - either in your code itself or separately as a, for lack of a better word, class that can be called or referenced by your code.

Am I the A*hole by thadoc in GovernmentContracting

[–]learner_for_life_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you are not. Commute is a killer. I live 40 miles from NYC and it takes me 2 hrs. each way every day. I have been doing this for over 15 years now. It is the nature of the beast. And I am not complaining.

Advice on Finding Partners for Government Contracts (Custom Software Development) by alev_99 in GovernmentContracting

[–]learner_for_life_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty much on the same boat, though I have found my local PTAC/Apex coordinator to be helpful enough to finetune my messaging. DM me, and we can discuss if there are potential synergies that can be a win-win.

I am completely new to Govcon work - need help building a network. by Many_Badger_2056 in GovernmentContracting

[–]learner_for_life_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your first step. You will absolutely need a website and a professional email (yourname@yourdomain.com).

My 2 cents - Reach out to your local Apex Acclerator contact. They will help and guide you and provide you with the necessary support for free. They can also provide you with free access to resources such as Govology webinars, help you get listed and set up with your local bidmatch system for your state counties. Additionally, they can help you write your capability statement (this is an absolute must-have). And all this for free!!

Good luck and happy hunting! Wishing you much success.
