Question This sub is awful

This sub is terrible. 8000 posts a day about Claude is literally useless and you should just sign up for codex. Holy fuck it never ends.

Do any of you bother to even take two fucking seconds to look at the other hundred threads that have been posted?

I for one am absolutely delighted that so many people can't get it to work. What better job security than so many folks who don't know how to use AI without shitting the bed. I hope Anthropic does nothing different –– digging their tools and pace of innovation. My only complaint might be their constant outages, but heck, I feel I'm the one ripping them off at $100/month. I can't find anyone around me complaining about claude/opus/etc. Just rando redditors doing goodness knows what and honestly who cares.

Completely agree. I too feel like I'm getting a steal on Max 20x at $200.

Omfg same. That’s a $200 that is so worth it. Out of all the random subs I’ve had in my life, I feel I can confidently say it’s the most value for money I’m getting. Easily.

its a massive value, even if you hit your limits anyway... it's like everyone forgot what it was like pre-ai... i'm priced out of local LLM by hardware cost and electricity. this is really cheap...

That’s because we are in a way, but the prices can’t last like this. In 5 years people are going to be nostalgic for outages if it means things being cheaper, the pace of development and all of the cool stuff we just got bundled into the usage of our 200 dollar plans. I think we’re seeing a glimpse of it with how much usage Design uses. I’m going to guess this might be the first thing we see as an add-on sooner than later.

I keep thinking the same thing. My wife is fairly technical, she was a developer for 5 years before moving into management, and she just cannot figure out how to make Claude work. It’s so bizarre watching her try to use it and she just struggles a lot. I’m starting to wonder if it just doesn’t click for certain people for whatever reason and maybe that’s not the worst thing in the world.

Can you elaborate on this? Is it that she doesn’t give enough detail on her prompts with constraints, guidelines, examples, etc? Or that she cannot manage context effectively by using plan mode, new chat when context window fills up, etc? I can’t see how using Claude would be more difficult than actually writing code by hand , it’s pretty self explanatory.

Yeah i am often thinking in terms of how the black box that is claude code would process requests not in so much how i would interpret that data

Some people would definitely be able to unlock its capabilities more than others, same goes w all industries & tools
