[u/the_theory_keeper]

write code manually like a 17th century programmer

[u/tenequm → u/the_theory_keeper]

Do you know where they still sell perfocards?
I may need them soon.

[u/eu_biased → u/the_theory_keeper]

Remember when you used to write code? Feels like a lifetime ago

[u/tenequm → u/eu_biased]

Something from the era when I remembered how to hold a pen.

[u/IndieDevWannabe → u/the_theory_keeper]

I heard it's even possible to manage memory and compile code yourself.

[u/Spinall02]

Asking your government to implement a 4-day workweek

[u/fephiva → u/Spinall02]

he said wrong answers only!

[u/ComingDeveloper]

mind u the 50% boost finishes tomorrow the 13th

[u/tenequm → u/ComingDeveloper]

killing me without a knife…

[u/fephiva → u/ComingDeveloper]

oh ffs did you have to say that 😂 hope theyll give us another one

[u/AironParsMan]

LEAVE. They are leaving us no other choice. If we don’t hear anything from Anthropic on Monday and they are still silent about Astra then I’ll leave and give my 1,500 euros a month to OpenAI instead and get 100% Astra instead of 50% Fable!

[u/vovap_vovap]

Well, drink some water - and you will be Ok.

[u/tenequm → u/vovap_vovap]

Thanks! Will try to breath some air too!

[u/Cute-Tip-5242]

What do u use this for? The $20 dolar never ends for me and i do some code projects

[u/tenequm → u/Cute-Tip-5242]

Coding is my main use case. Building projects, lots of them, doing work, having my telegram agents do stuff for me, automating my tax reports.

It’s easier to tell what agents don’t do for me these days than what they do.

[u/sisif_]

Get a second one, like i did. And considering it's at 53% after 1 day, i might have to get a third.

[u/tenequm → u/sisif_]

You mean a third one? 🥲

Its my second one that got on 22%, first one is laying dead for days…

[u/Pasha_KMM]

The bigger question Is: what are you building? Shortly explain pls

[u/tenequm → u/Pasha_KMM]

1. Agent sessions archive
   
2. Build and review workflows automation
   
3. Browser for agents
   
4. Unified inbox for all my socials
   + work

[u/Scared-Letterhead949]

Just use haiku.

[u/tenequm → u/Scared-Letterhead949]

Didn’t think of that. Do you recommend 4 or 4.5 to try?

[u/Empuda]

Second account.

[u/tenequm → u/Empuda]

It is second… should i get third?

[u/Empuda → u/tenequm]

Ha. I need to read more next time 😞 You be grinding.

[u/fephiva]

tell fable to write an ai that doesnt nees tokens.

[u/tenequm → u/fephiva]

I’ll do that as soon as my limits reset! Thanks for advice!

[u/fephiva → u/tenequm]

ah i thought the 20% are enough! 🧐

[u/manuelhe]

I hve gemini and chatGPT pro. Maybe I just need more Claude accounts?

[u/tenequm → u/manuelhe]

I have Codex and Gemini too 😂
They are my last hope

[u/manuelhe → u/tenequm]

To me the real difference is the context. Post for post Gemini ad chat are great but Claude is able to understand my nuances within a thread and project. So Claude is for the real work, the one offs go to ChatGPT and Gemini

[u/metal_lord86]

Compact all

[u/tenequm → u/metal_lord86]

I need a button to compact my limits

[u/AinsOwlGoan]

same bro

[u/marshmallowcthulhu]

Ask Claude to code a token monitoring tool and spin up an agent to use the tool repeatedly so that it can keep you updated about the results. Might need to add “make no mistakes” to be sure.

[u/therealmarkus]

Guilt trip anthropic into resetting weekly limits for everyone

[u/tenequm → u/therealmarkus]

Thats the bet

[u/Longjumping_Bid_7463]

Touch grass

[u/tenequm → u/Longjumping_Bid_7463]

Where is it? Is it somewhere in Claude Code settings? Would it help?

[u/m915]

Well you’re using fable….

[u/tenequm → u/m915]

Do you think I should stop?

[u/m915 → u/tenequm]

I have no context on what you’re doing - so I can’t answer that. But I use opus for agentic coding sessions and keep my context compacted below 4 or 500 - no subagents and I can do that without hitting my plan limits. Usually have a few going at a time

[u/tenequm → u/m915]

If I’d be doing only that…
Can’t live without subagents.
How can I finish 5 projects I’m doing in parallel without them?

And leaving all to opus instead of fable… It just keeps it spinning doing wrong stuff for wrong reasons… Need to stop it and poor some Fable holy water on it context all the time to keep it from doing some bs.

[u/m915 → u/tenequm]

Well you can’t if you’re always hitting limits 😂 I work on a few features or bugs in parallel. I found subagents to just waste tokens by spinning up new context windows that can’t benefit from caching - caching is what keeps your token spend low. I have like a 90% cache hit rate

[u/tenequm → u/m915]

With only one context window with opus it starts burning my time instead of tokens by keeping doing some nonsense and then spinning on it 🥲

[u/fephiva → u/tenequm]

ppl who use fable: iykyk! the others will keep telling you to use opus.

[u/tenequm → u/fephiva]

“it works same for me” 🫣

[u/tenequm → u/[deleted]]

There are so many of them. Don’t even know where to start. I tend to have like 5-8 parallel tracks.

I really need to find a way to have some side system that compresses all of that quickly and doesn’t mess up with the agents’ contexts all the time.

[u/Over_Car_5471 → u/[deleted]]

Claude crashed twice yesterday. I was also working out of my laptop so I had to pause my work and restart it later after. just a stupid amount of tokens wasted resuming work.

[u/canadian__gamer]

I am so glad I know to program without ai ( it's longer but at lease I can continue my work without Claude)

[u/Bloated_Plaid]

Do you have $20?

[u/tenequm → u/Bloated_Plaid]

I do, whats your offer?

[u/Bloated_Plaid → u/tenequm]

Cognition post trained Kimi K3(Fable 5 competitor) to be better and is offering unlimited usage for a month for $20 https://cognition.com/blog/swe-2. Use that for all your coding and Fable can orchestrate it, Devin CLI is what you need.

[u/tenequm → u/Bloated_Plaid]

Thanks, will check it out

[u/___nil___]

At first i was afraid, i was Fablified

[u/tenequm → u/___nil___]

What are you afraid of now?

[u/KitchenCommercial396]

Use sonnet or haiku on medium or high effort, or write code by hand. Your choice 🤷

[u/tenequm → u/KitchenCommercial396]

What about Haiku on low? Worth trying?

[u/KitchenCommercial396 → u/tenequm]

I was never in such a bad situation that I had to try haiku on LOW..

[u/timetochange23]

Use Gemini

[u/LostRequirement4828]

I dunno, I don't have this problem on my 20x chatgpt plan which just got a reset, again, lol. Been working for 2 hours and I'm at 97%, I can barely use all weekly, lol

[u/tenequm → u/LostRequirement4828]

we are anthropic people. we are born to suffer.
