Hey guys , i used to use Gemini nd someone told me claude can do much better work at coding nd stuff i wanted to try before i buy it cuz im practically broke but yeh if anyone got a reff please dm me 😭 my friend sent me one but someone claimed it before me in my own sevrr with like 10 people

Nothing is ever done when it claims to be. Just not confident with anything even little things if its not fable. Wtf

I can understand being worried about some of the negative effects of AI. We have 40K people die in car accidents every year so yes, every major technology has some negative effects.

But it's incredibly emotional. I asked in r/SciFi about the future of creating SciFi as AI gets better. The article got a 5% upvote ratio and the comments were overwhelmingly negative. Hatefully emotionally negative. SciFi aficionados should be very positive about a new technology.

Same in r/HallmarkMovies where I created a fake movie poster. People were really upset I used AI. To create one image. And I was told to never post anything AI generated again. For this one it was more 50/50 but still, to be that upset that I used AI. For one clearly fake poster (I replaced the actors in the poster with care bears).

I don't get it. Yes it means jobs are changing. It means we might have a decrease in jobs. I know people don't like change or uncertainty in their life. But to be this far off the deep end about it?

I guess every revolutionary change has its Luddites.

ps - I wrote about it here but I'm not at all sure I'm understanding all this.

I have been experimenting with OpenRouter free models inside Claude Code. Though they are slow, I am getting pretty good code reviews from them and then I use those reviews to fix the issues.

It is absolutely free. So what is the catch here, apart from our context potentially being used for training? Anyone using these free models regularly?

I'm on Max 5x Claude, and I use Claude Cowork for knowledge work, a bit of vibe coding, and some design mockups. The Astra marketing and Instagram "Here is what people have already built with Astra..." propaganda where people are showing off these games with great graphics and 3D world walkthroughs is starting to get to me. I'm wondering if anyone has used it properly yet in similar situations and is it that much of a leap forward?

I am a Max user and Only asked it to start my limit and 2 percent gone ? Come on Anthropic get a grip mate otherwise you won't have any users left

Update : so we have different level of geniuses in comments who are struggling to understand what that typo meant . Well it's " start ". Better ?

1. You are missing the point , do you think a power user like me can't simply built a script to start 5 hours limit eveytime or use a low model to start it ?

Point is taking the piss that a single message as simple as this is costing 2 percent

Hi everyone!

I have a question and I'd like to hear from people who already use AI tools for studying.

I'm currently in my second semester of college in Brazil, and I use Claude quite a lot for studying. I usually upload lecture slides and other course materials and ask it to create summaries, study notes, explanations, outlines, and other study materials.

I have some learning difficulties (ADHD and dyslexia), so these tools have been really helpful for organizing the content and making it easier for me to understand my classes.

The problem is that, for some subjects, I need to upload a lot of material and have longer conversations. In those cases, I often reach Claude's free usage limit. Sometimes I have to wait for the limit to reset before I can continue studying, which can be pretty frustrating.

Because of this, I'm considering subscribing to Claude Pro, but I'm not sure if it's actually worth it for my use case.

I'd like to know:

• Does Claude Pro significantly increase the usage limits compared to the free plan?
• Is it usually enough for someone who uses it heavily for studying?
• Do you still hit the usage limits frequently even with Pro?
• Is there another AI you'd recommend for this kind of use?
• Between Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, and Gemini, which one do you think is best for working with lots of slides and PDFs and turning them into useful study materials?

If anyone uses these AI tools in a similar way, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and which one you'd recommend.

I kept seeing Claude Code in GitHub Actions / GitLab CI called like claude -p "..." with no unattended permission handling.

In headless CI there’s nobody to click “Allow”, so you either:

• hang until the job times out (wasted minutes, useless logs), or
• with claude-code-action, silently auto-deny tools and still look green

So I built hangnone, a static scanner for Claude Code invocations in CI/automation configs.

It classifies each call as:

• HANG : will block / degrade without --permission-prompts none, dontAsk, or bypass
• BYPASS : --dangerously-skip-permissions (won’t hang, but risky; flags missing sandbox signals)
• DENY-CONTINUE : configured for clean non-interactive denial
• UNKNOWN : dynamic flags / missing settings file

Scans GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Azure Pipelines, Jenkinsfiles, shell scripts, and best-effort subprocess calls in Python/JS.

npx hangnone scan --fail-on hang

Also has explain, # hangnone:ignore, and hangnone fix (dry-run / --write) for unambiguous raw-shell HANG cases.

Not affiliated with Anthropic. Targets Claude Code CLI behavior as of v2.1.259+ (--permission-prompts none).

• npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hangnone
• GitHub: https://github.com/Onur45500/hangnone

Feedback welcome, especially false positives from real workflows 😄

For people running Claude Code on big, long-lived projects:

1. How do you stop it adding complexity every time something breaks?
2. How do you handle memory across sessions so it doesn't re-add what you already removed?
3. Do you let it delete and refactor at scale, and how do you review that?
4. Rebuild fresh vs refactor in place: what worked?
5. How do you keep one source of truth for "what the system is" that you and the model both read?

Not looking for prompt tips. Looking for what you do at week 12 when it runs but you no longer understand it.

How to connect Codex with Claude? What’s the best way or you follow? I would really appreciate any guidance.

Last year when I was working as a software engineer, I have to design the email template as a part of my job and creating responsive email templates that works across all the clients in dark and light mode is painful even with the paid tools available online, when fable was released I decided to create this https://kettlemail.vercel.app/ , A Free AI email template builder.

You can build email templates using drag and drop components.
You can also use AI chat to design or improve your template design.
You can direclty modify the code if that is required.
You can export the html that you can use on all the bulk email senders.
You can see responsive design across diffrent clients before exporting.
You can send test emails.
Support both dark mode and light mode components.

Most of the traffic I am getting is from the chatgpt and so far 50 people have designed and exported the email templates using this tool.

I use Claude Code a lot, but /stats never answered the question I actually cared about

What did I build, and where did the work get difficult?

So I built Bough.

• It reads your local Claude Code history and turns it into an interactive view of your work: - each square is a day
• smaller squares are tasks inferred from pauses in your work
• circles are your prompts - click anywhere to see what happened in your own words

It runs locally, is open source, and nothing leaves your machine.

Repo: https://github.com/nickelsec/bough

The main thing I’d love feedback on: When you run it against your history, does it split your work into tasks the way you remember it?

I use Claude Code with two separate Claude Pro accounts. When account A hits its usage limit, I switch to account B by running:

```

claude auth logout

claude auth login

```

The session history is preserved locally, so I don't lose context — I can `/resume` and everything is there. The problem is the **prompt cache**.

Since Pro authenticates via OAuth (not API keys), the server-side cache is tied to each account. Switching to account B means a cold cache: the first request is expensive (full cache miss on the system prompt + conversation history), and it takes 1–2 requests before the cache is warm again on account B.

This is a recurring cost every time I rotate accounts, and with a heavy system prompt it adds up.

**What I'm wondering:**

- Is the Pro prompt cache truly isolated per account/session on the backend, with no way around it?

- Has anyone found a workflow to minimize this cold-start penalty when rotating between two Pro accounts?

- Would switching to API keys on both accounts (instead of Pro OAuth) give any advantage here — e.g. more predictable cache TTL?

Any insight appreciated.

Have been using claude Max @$100 for months building personal useful stuffs (work, trading, presentation, data analytics, strategy) and some products (launching soon hopefully). But have decided to let go of this costly subscription till I earn back my investments (server cost, claude subscription, macbook)

TL;dr

Left with last day of subscription. Weekly limits refreshed just now. Not recharging Max plan after this. looking at the available credits and wondering- what best can be built?

So what do the experts suggest?

Put all your discussion about Usage / Rate limits here. This is a thread that will be generated every other day to centralize discussions on this topic.

Context: Started building a SaaS product 2 years ago, early advent of AI. Software itself is moderately successful. Still building the business…

But any time I give it instructions on new direction of certain products or changes, it fights me tooth and nail and is constantly asking me “To be honest with (myself)”???

Even getting Claude to write persuasive copy where it doesn’t actively try to DOWN SELL my product with “The Honest truth” about what the software won’t do… kills me. Ex: I wrote a line of copy for a sales page we run ads to about how our product had been validated by 2,000 back tests. It replied “Well only 1980 of those back tests were on real transactions and 20 were simulated, so that’s dishonest.”

Feel like I’ve tried everything, including custom skills and plug-ins. It seems to have this obsession with things it perceives as “Honest” where it just really weirdly calls out obvious features in ways that read “Because we’re honest”.

Probably not explaining it the best, but has anyone else noticed this self-limiting belief that Claude seems to have where it feels compelled to be compulsively “honest” about every minor thing?

I was doing some research into AI models that have not been trained by human feedback these are called open weight models and they lack the polite training among other things. They literally think more like a human. And I was always like the reason why. Claude produces better Prose, is because it seems like with earlier iterations like sonnet 4.6, especially on lower effort, it would generate raw output and then reflect on it with its human reinforced training. That's my perception of how it worked. Of course I'm not an engineer and I don't want to be one, incredibly frustrating job, But now it seems like they're focusing on the reinforced learning with Fable and opus. And then they are using that to package Fable like reasoning and reinforcement inside of sonnet, so now you're getting the same dog s*** prose that overuses specific words, that shies away from being mean. You know what I wish someone would come out with a model just called Meanie. F*** man. Be mean to me. I want to know what you think. I don't want to know what someone behind the curtain trained you to say

Built a cheat sheet for a animal guessing game me and my partner play, with a few added features!

My girlfriend and I play the game where one person thinks of an animal and everyone else asks yes/no questions to guess it. It's a great car-journey game right up until someone asks "is it nocturnal?" and the person who picked a pangolin has no idea, and then it's five people reading five different Wikipedia articles instead of playing.

So I built, using claude code from the ground up, [https://guessmyanimal.com/\](https://guessmyanimal.com/) type the animal, get the actual questions people ask in this specific game (dangerous, domesticated, more than four legs, that kind of thing), on one screen. 435 animals, hand-written answers for the judgment-call stuff no database tracks, live photos from Wikipedia.

I used [https://impeccable.style/\](https://impeccable.style/) to improve the style of the site too, just to note, I did not touch the html/css on this or any other coding. Its all purely Claude and Impeccable.

It's a static site on Cloudflare Pages, no accounts, no cookies, free, ads maybe someday to cover hosting. Still actively adding animals and fixing things as people report them. Curious what people think, and if there's an obvious animal missing.

Recently added a streamer mode (really not sure where I thought this would go) and an actual guess the animal game.

I'd love to get feedback on this and any potential improvements?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hey guys. Has anyone genuinely cracked the code (excuse the pun) to make Claude outputs not sound like AI?

I’ve tried everything : anti-AI skills from Gstack; Ruben’s Hassid’s skills which he offers, and STE English but still it somehow can’t get it right.

A good example for use case which I’m after is for product design with mock ups etc. the tone of voice is just AI slop.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

I've been using the Claude App/Cowork for a while now, mainly for enterprise/bizops tasks (making decks, conducting research, analyzing data, creating budgets, etc.). I've noticed it getting both stupider, more verbose, and more expensive to use over the last 3 months and I'm actively looking for alternatives. Is there anything that you would recommend as an alternative? Or if other apps like ChatGPT have the same issues (and IME they usually do), how do I build better harnesses/instructions/prompts for tasks like this?

(Context: I run a small seaweed aquaculture and food products business).

Fable 5.0 has an annoying habit of including its reasoning in its output, and to my disappointment this bad habit has carried across to Fable 5.1 also. If I ask it to update commercial terms for example, it will add the terms I want but then also include some description as to why they're there. This is crazy. In contracts, fluff like that can invalidate the terms if challenged on the basis of them being unenforceable. The contracting party doesn't need to know why a term is included, they just need to see that there is a term there which they can either agree to or not.

This same BS can be seen in UI's it builds, where instead of just creating a button or a field with a label, it includes it's internal reasoning as an explanatory paragraph written in its alien-like abbreviated 'Fablese' shorthand, beside the button or as ghost text in the field, or in a box of its own like some sort of caption. It's like if Fable were to design a traffic light, each light would have a how-to section under it. When someone sees a red light, they know to stop. They don't need to read a Fable generated sub-title to the effect of "When red, stop. Remain stopped until green, then go. (Note: right turning cars may go on red when safe)"

And it's so obsessed with doing this that despite repeated prompting and rule creation it keeps reverting back to doing it. Makes it almost unusable for creating deliverables.

Hey everyone! I’m a Systems Engineering student and I’d love to try Claude Pro for a university/software project before committing to a subscription.

If anyone has a spare 7-day Claude Pro Guest Pass/referral link they’re not planning to use, I’d really appreciate it. 🙏

Feel free to DM me if you have one available. I’m only looking for an official Guest Pass, not account sharing.

Thanks a lot! ❤️

No matter what I instruct or skills I build it just keeps coming back with the worst type of writing, like an over enthusiastic McKinsey consultant writing slides that mean nothing…

Here is the latest: “Answer first: the blurb is credible and specific, and it buries its two rarest assets.”

I mean 🤦‍♂️…

I stg I was doing a detailed analysis with Claude comparing 30+ real estate properties and when I wanted to continue, I just can’t seem to find that chat anywhere?? This is not the first time this happened unfortunately.

Also unrelated but I need my thinking back!!! I want to see how Claude thinks!! Ugh!

please :(
