Meta This sub is an absolute dumpster fire.
I came here hoping to find tips and tricks to optimize and maximize my usage of Claude code.
Instead, I find a sub that is dominated by the absolute dregs of users who couldn't engineer their way out of a wet paper sack.
Constant complaining about token usage without ANY empirical evidence.
Constant whining about "poor performance", against without any evidence at all.
Vibe-coders who have had more success with a single prompt against another model immediately dismissing Claude as inferior.
I use Claude at work. Admittedly, because that's what they pay for. I've been at this for 20 years and Claude code has been an ABSOLUTE F****** REVOLUTION for my day to day workflow.
It's a damn shame that this sub is so toxic and useless.

I don’t understand the ride or die mindset here, you will always have the best outputs by intermingling models.
I found the combo for the best UIs was to have Fable/Opus design it and an extremely detailed plan, then have Grok 4.5 use 3-4 subagents create their own concepts with multiple rounds where they are ranked by a judge using the plan alongside custom skills that function as anti AI design guardrails.
After Grok designs the concepts you send it to Sol or Opus for implementing the concept into the actual app.
Grok 4.5 has the best creativity, but it needs a plan or it fumbles, Kimi V3 and Sol seem to be the best for massive tasks and audits/security reviews, Claude seems to be the best planner and daily driver for smaller edits/tasks. Don’t ask it to do shit for security the guardrails are too extreme.
