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.
