I have MAX and have been using Opus 4.6 heavily for my day job which is 100% agentic programming, and my usage numbers have not changed meaningfully since Opus 4.6 came out
Same here. Both $20 and $100 finished fast. Never hit a limit after dishing out the $200. Explore() sometimes prints 90k token usage which scares me, but so far it is consequence free.
At 8 hours a day 5 days a week I never hit the limit on my $100 MAX plan. People must be running crazy autonomous workflows or something because I'm nowhere near hitting my limit, ever
Each time I've dug into this for someone, it's because they're filling up their context window with a bunch of tokens before any real work even starts.
Highly encourage people having issues to do /context and start removing heavy things. It's usually some sprawling MCPs they rarely use, or huge CLAUDE.md files they generated or cargo-culted from someone else.
I'm not suggesting these are the only ways to hit the limits, it's just (so far) almost always the answer when someone hits the limits doing something that I wouldn't expect to be problematic.
"If I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear" eh?
What a colossally bad thing to do for personal privacy. Yes let's give governments the ability to spot and pick up anyone they want for any reason under the guise of 'criminality'. ICE or the SS would have a field day.
I guess people better keep their mouth shut if they know what is good for them??
Yeah CEOs, get that sweet investor cheddar like the unrepentant, avaricious bag chasers you are!
Bootstrapping is for chumps! Who cares about the people that actually do your business and make your money, when you can spread your legs for today's flavor-of-the-year?
That's actually relatively understandable. The React model (not necessarily React itself) of compositional reactive one-way data binding has become dominant in UI development over the last decade because it's easy to work with and does not require you to keep track of the state of a retained UI.
Most modern UI systems are inspired by React or a variant of its model.
Is this accurate? I've been coding UIs since the early 2000s and one-way data binding has always been a thing, especially in the web world. Even in the heyday of jQuery, there were still good (but much less popular) libraries for doing it. The idea behind it isn't very revolutionary and has existed for a long time. React is a paradigm shift because of differential rendering of the DOM which enabled big performance gains for very interactive SPAs, not because of data binding necessarily.
I've had claude reference prior conversations when I'm trying to get technical help on thing A, and it will ask me if this conversation is because of thing B that we talked about in the immediate past
Dude I'm tired. Tired of having to learn some stupid new UI paradigm just because.
I really really wish there was ONE standard orthodoxy with regards to UI and how programs work and how we get around them.
Instead we have these clowns constantly inventing new ones. I love learning things and tweaking things but I have limited bandwidth and I am so over micromanaging my PC
For the record I know and love vi. But as I get older I find myself yearning more for the cathedral than the bazaar
> Imagine if apps for mobile could be deployed via swf. We'd have billions of apps, and you could just tap to download them from the web.
No they wouldn't. We've forgotten just how bad and sloppy flash apps were. The handful of companies that used Adobe Flex turned out awful POS that barely worked. It occupied the same space that Electron does today -- bloated, slow, and permitting cheap-ass devs to utilize cheap talent to develop 'apps' with all the finesse of a sledgehammer
As a kid I loved flash, I was making interactive apps in AS2/3 in high school. But I watched in horror as it became the de facto platform for crapware
> It occupied the same space that Electron does today
This. Except Electron crap at least runs on top of a well-designed and relatively reliable platform (HTML/Chromium) - and sometimes the crap even offer an actual PWA version with all the sandbox benefits a real browser has to offer. Flash didn't even had that.
And let's be realistic, there will always be demand for a crap-running platform for vendors that don't care (or just have their core values elsewhere).

My kingdom for some way of gatekeeping platforms so that entities like this are forbidden from participating
- Lack of gatekeeping was THE advantage that made Web viable and competitive against traditional media.
- You can't gatekeep crapmakers without also gatekeeping that kid in his parent's basement with an awesome idea.
- Crapmakers with enough money will punch through any gatekeeping.
- Sometimes you have to accept that vendors don't care. Can't expect a transport company to give too much love to their timetables app. Yes, they are expected to hire someone competent to do it, but the "someone competent" also rarely care. Still better than having no access to the timetables.
No, there was gatekeeping, it was knowledge. You had to be knowledgeable enough to work the system. You had to have the time to dedicate to learning the system and how the internet and how computers worked. Those twin gates kept the internet as it was in its early days.
Unfortunately every peabrained enterpreneur saw that and began eroding the moat until it was gone. The knowledge required to build things has been on a steady decline, and now with AI that decline has completely destroyed it. Now, every fucking hack with an "idea" is not only able to act on them but now they act like they are as good as the people who paid a heavy price to get to the same level through years of study and hard work.
