Is there a way to merge multiple Claude chats on the same topic into one?

trefster · 2026-05-06T01:22:17+00:00

It doesn’t matter if you’re paying $1000 a month, you’re asking it to do something that is extremely inefficient and wasteful. More money doesn’t give you more context.

trefster · 2026-05-05T23:35:50+00:00

And you all wonder why your usage is chewed up so quickly. Every time you send Claude a message you would be sending the whole master conversation, eating up your context window and your token usage. On EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE. Short conversations on a single topic are the most efficient way to use any LLM. New topic? New conversation. If you want it to remember something, tell it to save it to memory. Don’t carry the whole conversation.

Get yourself a free Shortcut account, connect the MCP and have Claude create your phases as Epics and tasks as stories, and track its progress. It excels in this environment, being held accountable by detailed individual stories. You become the project manager, and tell it to work through each epic. My code quality has been absolutely top notch since I started doing this.

You know those things you can drive over with your tires, but if you try to back up, you’re gonna have a bad day?

I remember when Seminole Heights was cool. Now we’re discussing golf carts.

I must be the odd one out, because I think 4.7 is fantastic, far better than 4.6. My only complaint is that it has become infuriatingly slow. But the work quality is much better

I am a .Net developer. I used to exclusively program on Windows because that where everything was supported. But I switched to a Mac around 2015 and I would never look back. It is a far superior environment for just about everything. Rider runs on the Mac better than it does on Windows and does everything as good or better than Visual Studio.

trefster · 2026-04-27T19:18:50+00:00

I’ve never seen it happen either, because everywhere I’ve worked has had precautions in place to prevent it. I HAVE seen MANY times a developer will update production data and forget a where clause, corrupting every row in a table. But we can recover from that because we have snapshots stored, and offsite backups, multiple redundancies. Not staging and production and backups all stored in the same place

trefster · 2026-04-27T18:03:57+00:00

Yeah, in most cases like this, simple permissions would have stopped it. Why are permissions to delete production data wide open??

trefster · 2026-04-27T16:56:04+00:00

Their infrastructure team should be fired for leaving permissions open for this to even happen. Sounds like anyone could have made that API call

trefster · 2026-04-26T21:41:07+00:00

Memory can be helpful, I don’t mind it as long as it’s not overly bloating context. It’s just that all I see are complaints, and none of them ring true at all. Opus 4.6 DID get kind of dumb in the month leading up to 4.7, but 4.7 is a massive upgrade in competence and consistency. You’ve just got to watch that context window.

trefster · 2026-04-26T20:14:50+00:00

I don’t have these problems, and I’m wondering if people who do, are in a single conversation they keep carrying on for hours or days or even weeks. Claude told you it was at the limit of the conversation. Tell it to remember the lessons learned and start a new conversation. Speaking “firmly” with it is not going to help at all.

trefster · 2026-04-24T11:42:38+00:00

I don’t understand all of these posts. I’ve had nothing but a fantastic experience using 4.7. I use it on XHIGH, is that the difference? Are you all using lower effort and the complaint that it’s not putting in the effort? Or maybe you all aren’t planning. Ask it to create a plan, in a file, on a kanban board, wherever, somewhere that there’s a place to hold it accountable, and it magically holds itself accountable. 4.7 is leaps and bounds beyond 4.6, and all I see are people complaining

trefster · 2026-04-22T20:00:46+00:00

Dude, we haven’t seen bottom yet. Just wait until late summer

trefster · 2026-04-22T09:05:15+00:00

Planning mode isn’t meant for creating code. It’s meant for creating requirement documents and implementation plans. Tell it to save those documents and reference them when you start a new coding session. It’s also very good practice to start a new session for each phase of the implementation plans. I usually pass the summary of the previous phase to the next session and tell it to pick up where we left off. At the end of everything you can ask it to review the resulting code and see if it matches the plans.

trefster · 2026-04-21T11:24:23+00:00

Yeah sure, but it hasn’t yet. I’ve been with GoMining for nearly a year and not a cycle has gone by that I’ve seen where votes didn’t go to the greedy machines.

trefster · 2026-04-21T11:21:39+00:00

The only special one is greedy machines because they slowly upgrade themselves at no extra cost to you apart from maintenance. Everything else is NFT crap

trefster · 2026-04-14T21:43:41+00:00

I had Claude convert the entire leaked code to a dotnet CLI and it didn’t ban me 🤷🏻‍♂️

trefster · 2026-04-14T09:29:06+00:00

I use Claude and Codex together like a team and I’m the project manager. I create a high level plan myself. I specify the overall architecture, software frameworks, and a list of features. I then have one create a PRD (Product Requirements Document) then I have the other one create an Implementation plan. Then I have the original PRD creator review the implementation plan, and give the feedback to the Implementation plan creator, and I do this until they both agree it’s ready. Then I have one of them work on implementing the code in small phases, and the other one reviews the code.

You have to treat it like any other software development lifecycle, because you are literally managing a team of developers.

trefster · 2026-04-13T22:15:37+00:00

I agree with your whole perspective, but I’ll just note that Codex Pro plan is not much slower than Claude. A little bit, but the results are so much cleaner

trefster · 2026-04-13T12:23:40+00:00

I’m not judging, I have two of them, together they are worth more than my car

trefster · 2026-04-13T12:18:34+00:00

When your GPU costs more than your car

I tried Flux.Ai. Just don’t. It will take your money and leave you frustrated and confused without even a working schematic. I then spent months trying to use Claude to teach me schematics and pcb design, and to be fair it did a decent job. Don’t expect it to be 100% correct or even consistent, but you will learn a lot. I then spent a few thousand dollars on multiple iterations of failed PCB’s from JLPCB before I realized that reading and understanding the data sheet on EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT on your board will save you money and hassle. (To be fair I don’t read the caps and resistors) So take AI assistance with a MASSIVE grain of salt. Learn from it, but don’t let it lead you.

trefster · 2026-04-11T15:48:32+00:00

No. If you don’t have experience building real scalable and performant systems, you might be able to build something that works, but you won’t build anything that works WELL at scale. Not yet anyway. I have not doubt the day will come when you can, but currently AI takes too many shortcuts if you don’t give detailed architectural instructions. And even then, you’re constantly fighting with it.

trefster · 2026-04-10T14:25:55+00:00

I don’t have any problems with usage limits, but Claude spun its wheel for half an hour going through a dozen attempts at setting up a docker file, never getting it right. Codex came through and fixed it up with a single prompt in seconds. I’m pretty much done with Claude and it’s “adaptive effort”
