I've probably spent about 25$ on Claude code so far.
I'm tempted to pay someone in Poland or whatever another 500$ to just finish the project. Claude code is like a temp that has a code quota to reach. After they reach it, they're done. You've reached the context limit.
A lot of stuff is just weird. For example I'm basically building a website with Supabase. Claude does not understand the concept of shared style sheets, instead it will just re-implement the same style sheets over and over again on like every single page and subcomponent.
Multiple incorrect implementations of relatively basic concepts. Over engineering all over the place.
A part of this might be on Supabase though. I really want to create a FOSS project, so firebase, while probably being a better fit, is out.
Not wanting to burn out, I took a break after a 4 hour Claude session. It's like reviewing code for a living.
However, I'm optimistic soon a competitor will emerge with better pricing. I would absolutely love to run three coding agents at once, maybe it even a fourth that can run integration tests against the first three.

- 999900000999 2y agoWhat's really disappointing is that Claude code doesn't really appear to "learn". Maybe a local SQL lite DB for notes would be ideal. Add a one sentence summary of what you did for each change, and then read it back before writing more code.
- simonw 2y agoI've talked to people who get Claude Code to constantly update a TODOs.md with notes on what it's going to do next and what it's just done.
