I use Fable 5 at work on API And Fable 5 on 200 Max at home and the difference is night and day. I am telling you, we are getting a nerfed version of Fable AND paying more for it. I really hope Anthropic sees a reckoning and either loses users to better models out there, or actually tries and fights for once (seriously, one time) to keep its customers.

I feel like even knowing that Claude Code exists is a super power. A majority of people I know, even people who consider themselves "technical", simply use the chat interface. Even for doing some kind of analysis that requires code, they will just use chat to grab the code and plug it into their terminal.

The whole idea of having Claude plug into your directory and work unattended is just completely foreign to them. And so when I hear people larping on AI and how it is "basically just a word predictor and pretty much a scam" I honestly just feel sorry for them.

What also shocks me is this is pervasive not just with the older crowd but I am shocked by how many gen Z kids I meet that either refuse to use AI, or just use the chat interface even for technical stuff.

And so I have concluded that even the simply fact of knowing how to use Claude Code even at a basic level is just a superpower. Using chat, requires baybsitting, it requires feeding pointing to documents, and it generally just means your brain is missing that tiny link of understanding the concept of directories/terminal/shell etc. And if you get over that tiny little hump, the things you can do are completely endless.

It is just a huge divide in this new age. I really feel bad for people that just refuse or cannot engage with AI on a computational level.

I was blessed by Anthropic and received $100 in promotional usage credits when they took away Fable 5. I was using Opus 4.8 on Max and my 5-hour limit ran out. Took about 2 minutes to warn me that I was now using usage credits on the current task. I immediately stopped it in the middle of a relatively simple task, just slightly changing how 2 images are already being displayed on an empty HTML page. It already had all of the context. It was the one that created the page. It changed maybe a total of 5 lines of code. It cost me approximately $4 in credits. So my roughest estimation is that a normal weekly limit of usage in the Claude desktop app on the Pro plan is equal to like, what, $20,000+ in usage credits?

I have found over the past week, that Claude Code (CC) uses the word "honest" quite often. For instance, "I need to give you the honest assessment" or "Honesty note: X, Y, and Z". I am guessing that this is in the system prompt and perhaps recently highlighted? I'd rather this than CC being dishonest.

Has anyone else had this happen to them today? I was barely running 30% of what I usually do.

Fellow non-US Claude Code Pro subscribers from around the world, I'd be incredibly keen to compare the currency conversions for your "one-time $100 credit".

I appreciate that currency fluctuations happen, but the last time I checked the conversion rate wasn't $1.98 USD per £1.00 GBP...

I build with Claude Code all day, and one small thing cleaned up my whole routine: I turned my usage windows into fixed shifts.

Your 5 hour window starts the second you send your first message, so if you fire off a random question at an odd hour, it resets at an equally odd hour and your day drifts with it.

I used to fix this by hand. Open an incognito window in the Claude app and type "hey" to haiku, to kick off the window.
Now a /reminder does it for me at 08:00, 13:00, 18:00 and 23:00, running on Haiku. Those are exactly 5 hours apart, so they become three clean shifts. The first one wraps up right around lunch, and by the time I'm back the next window is already lined up.

Especially with Fable, it constantly gives me answers like:

"It is because the third activator gate suppressed the desired behaviour".

And when I ask "what do you mean by the third activator gate?" it responds with:

"Oh, it is just the phrase I came up with to describe the if condition you have at line 96".

I don’t know how accurate this is, but I suspect it comes up with these words during reasoning to better guide itself. Then that glossary leaks into the output tokens we see, and Claude treats those words as if they’re part of a ubiquitous language that I already know.

using claude code on the same project for the past 6 months . doing exactly same kind of dev : javascript / python / ruby . Until 2 weeks ago using my Pro 20usd subscription it was manageable. Then it slowly started 2 weeks ago feeling like my usage was skyrocketing very quickly . Then we got the double limit , 100usd credit etc … but today I m really convinced that with the same subscription we had 2 weeks ago we do not have the same amount of work done .

We use Claude in an end-to-end managed process, generating project overviews, solution designs and implementation plans before launching into a team of agents to build (as well as multiple levels of review agents checking the work).

Each stage is gated, and that involves reading docs - the better we read and understand them, the less rework is needed post initial build, and the faster we deliver.

A bugbear though is the diagramming - we use md files for the docs we generate, and invariably we end up with text based representations of the design.

Does anyone else do something similar? What do you use for Claude generated diagrams? Any top tips out there?

Edit - update:

Thanks for the responses - it feels a lot like people lean heavily towards Mermaid, with some shout-outs for MCP Servers into pro diagramming tools. That said, I think I really like the idea of a skill to generate HTML diagrams of a small number of types and will try that out for a while, see how it goes.

I'm looking for a good and maintained memory system that works directly with Markdown files.

I'm aware of Hindsight, Honcho, and similar projects, but they feel overly complex and heavyweight for individual use. They also tend to rely on vector databases instead of plain Markdown, which makes them less transparent and harder to manage.

I'm specifically looking for a Markdown-first approach where the memory is just regular .md files that are easy to read, edit, version control, and back up.

Ideally, it would work across multiple coding agents and tools, such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and similar environments.

Does anyone here use a Markdown-based memory system? If so, I'd love to hear what you're using and how well it's working.

Codex subreddit's mods are wiping out complaints slowly slowly. As of now, it is 2 AM in night, they are probably sleeping and forgot to wipe out complains, but trust me they will be all gone within 1-3 days to prevent their SEO demage.

I feel like everyday I type / in the CLI to run some basic command and a new tool pops up, or a coworker mentions some new plugin to test frontend features or compress memory.

I constantly feel like I’m behind the curve in maximizing Claude Code’s potential and was wondering if anyone has some YouTube/blog/anything recommendations to expose more of the features it provides, or even some insight into how I’d go about building those tools myself.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

I have recently been burning through my Max 5x plan in about 3 days, even when using skills that delegate tasks to Sonnet and Opus, the plan just doesn't seem to go very far anymore.

I was considering getting another Max 5x plan, but I tried Kimi K3 on Opencode Go and it's actually really good so far. You don't get much usage on Opencode Go, but it tackles complicated things pretty well. I did side by sides between it and Fable and they both come to similar conclusions for tricky things. Anyone else try it?

I did a round of design review with Fable Medium like I'd done before on the Pro plan and after one round of feedback I had burned through $83 already.

Hey. I'm new to Claude Code, coming from Antigravity and Gemini models. Is there any advice, tips, or skills I should know about to ensure good rate limits, and overall experience?

I'm a beginner, so I'm looking to hear feedback or prevent any mistakes!

Thanks a lot.

Hello all I’ve been using Claude for about 6 months now. I’ve deployed 2 real applications to the app and play store already. And created many numerous projects. I’m curious though I hear so many things about skills, artifacts, or super powers but idk what any of that means… is there any like things I should be utilizing with Claude like in those regards, or is there a good place to learn about all the little random stuff? Or does that stuff not make a huge impact on your workflows and just like a little bonus? Thank you!

Does the speed at which Claude Code performs actions on your system dependent on system resources or is it gated by the API calls or both?

I noticed as soon as they said "Oh 50% more usage during this set period", we fell into the same trap that happened last time where usage seemed to cost more for the same things we were already doing?

This is getting out of hand...
