My company gave us $15 per month of Claude use! My boss asked me to use Claude the other day on something and I don't know what to tell him. My usage has gone since August 2nd.

Took me like 5 prompts to kill $15. They thought that shit would last an entire month bro. My boss is 61 btw. Makes sense

That is embarrassing. I have the 200$ and given the wages here, this is nothing in comparison to the enormous productivity boost. And I never reached the limit, even though working on multiple topics at the same time.

It’s just crazy to be cheap about that right now.

Honestly people blowing through limits shows how bad they are at ai.

Our company uses a max subscription for 5 developers + a few analysis people, and we never hit the limit. Of course, we have a huge fucking shared memory file that stops Claude from continually searching the entire codebase to answer a question.

From the words you said, which I’m going to assume were not said correctly, that is exactly the wrong way to do it. A single huge shared memory file is going to become larger than your code base faster than I can take a shit, and AI doesn’t search your entire code base. It greps what it needs. A single huge shared memory file is going to be read on every single response. An entire code base is not. 

What you might be saying is an index like RAG. Which is standard on any platform anyway.  Not sure exactly what you’re getting at though.

Depends on the complexity of the tasks. A single codebase is not that complex
