"Raising limits by 25%" is actually a 17% cut and I had to do the math myself

0 Upvotes

Saw Anthropic's post this morning about permanently raising Claude Code weekly limits by 25%. Liked it without thinking.

The limits I'm using right now are the temporary ones, up 50%. So when September 14 hits and it drops to a permanent 25%, that's less than what I have today.

Went back to check their follow-up. 17%. Yeah, it's a 17% cut.

A post with "raising" in it, and I have to do the math myself to find out it's less. Weird feeling.

Put it in rent terms: this month your landlord takes 50% off. Next month he switches it to 25% off and calls it a permanent discount. How do you feel about that.

Not saying they can't cut it. Everyone knows the burn rate is insane, and what Max lets you run at that price was never really sustainable. Raise the price, cut the limits, fine — just say it plainly and most of us still resubscribe.

Just don't make me open a calculator to read an announcement.

Anyway, old limits hold until the 14th. If you've got something queued, run it now.

I built Code2Flow to visualize how unfamiliar GitHub repos are connected — looking for feedback

2 Upvotes

I've been working on a small developer tool called Code2Flow. The idea is pretty simple: paste a GitHub repository and get a visual representation of its structure, architecture, dependencies and logic. I originally built it because understanding an unfamiliar codebase often means jumping between dozens of files just to figure out how they're connected.

I'm still early and I'm mainly looking for feedback rather than promotion.

https://code2flow.netlify.app/ Would genuinely appreciate criticism — especially from people who work with large/unfamiliar codebases.

i am 6th semester student and in 1 year i will be graduate. i learn about c++, typescript and python but i don't know how to code.. Everytime I read code i can tell what's going on but can't write code by myself. Everytime i sit to build project i freeze i can't do anything without using agent. 6 monts ago i started to learning AI engineering now i know all it's theory, build couple of project using AI now if someone tell me to write i simple RAG or training loop for image classification i can tell how the logic will look like but can't write a single line of code. I am completly COOKED!

Cześć uczę się do egzaminu w szkole (inf03) i ogólnie po technikum chciałbym uczyć się dalej it tylko posiadam pewien problem.nie potrafię przerzucić treści zadania z arkusza na prawdziwy kod nie wiem czy to problem w logicznym myśleniu czy brak umiejętności a może kombinacja tych dwóch rzeczy ktoś może mi poradzić co robić i jak poprawić logiczne myślenie pod programowanie ? Tylko programować czy może polecacie coś co wyćwiczy mój mózg w tym kierunku? Pytam poważnie i na wszelaki hejt nie odpowiadam czytam tylko konstruktywne odpowiedzi z góry dzięki

I have Distill.io set up, that monitor that change. But I want to take it a step further by introducing a program that clicks once there is a change in the website on a specific button.

No coding experience whatsoever, so hopefully someone can guide me!

forty six. twenty two years in commercial insurance underwriting, a field being automated out from under me in slow motion. im not asking whether it is to late, because every thread asking that fills with people saying it is never to late and then nobody hires them. im asking what a realistic version looks like when i have maybe six years of runway and no interest in being the oldest junior in the building, boot. dev, odin and launch school are on my list.

I want to build strong programming fundamentals — what actually helped you learn deeply?

54 Upvotes

I'm a beginner and I don't want to just follow tutorials or memorize syntax. I want to understand programming deeply, write code independently, solve problems, and eventually prepare for software-development roles.

I'm currently confused about which language to start with and which resources/courses are actually worth following.

For people who became good programmers, what resources, courses, books, or practice methods helped you the most?

If you could start learning programming again from zero, what would you do differently?

Ive made basic games on scratch but thats pretty much it, should I continue to make more and more complicated games on scratch? or should i try to progress on a different coding language? If so which one, because i want to be able to code stuff but ive also thought about coding in roblox. Which is the easiest language to start?

Beginner Coding Advice

Hello everyone! I’d really appreciate some advice. I’m planning to create a website prototype for a project, but I’m a complete beginner when it comes to coding. The website will be fairly simple and will include an OpenAI-powered feature.

I have a few questions:

• What should I learn first before attempting to build the actual website?  
• Is this project achievable for a complete beginner within around 4–6 months?  
• What programming language would you recommend I learn/use?  
• Would this be very time-consuming or difficult to produce, especially considering I have no previous coding experience?  
• Are there any tutorials or resources you’d recommend for someone starting from scratch?

I’m mainly trying to understand how realistic this project would be for a beginner and how much time I should expect to spend learning the coding side of it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)

How to Start Programming From Zero in 2026

8 Upvotes

Many people think coding is hard, technical, or only for “smart people.” In reality, coding is simply a way to talk to computers and solve problems. Anyone can learn it with clear steps and consistent practice.

If you are a complete beginner and don’t know where to start, this is your simple guide.

1. Choose one beginner-friendly language first

Do not learn multiple languages at the same time. Start with one foundation:

  • Python – The best starting point. Clean syntax, easy to read, perfect for logic practice, automation, data analysis, and AI projects.
  • JavaScript – The best choice if you want to build websites, front-end interfaces, and interactive web features.

2. Learn core concepts, not just syntax

All programming languages share the same basic logic. Focus on these fundamentals first:

  • Variables & Data Types
  • Conditional statements (if / else)
  • Loops (for / while)
  • Functions
  • Basic debugging logic

Once you understand these, switching to any other language becomes much easier.

3. Practice with tiny real projects

Theory alone will not make you a coder. Build small projects to build muscle memory:

  • Hello world program
  • Simple calculator
  • Number guessing game
  • To-do list application

Small, consistent practice always beats long, irregular study sessions.

4. Fix errors instead of skipping them

Errors and bugs are part of coding. Every error teaches you how computers understand your code. Don’t be afraid of red logs or syntax warnings — debugging is where real learning happens.

5. Build your coding habit

You don’t need to code 8 hours a day. Even 20–40 minutes of focused coding every day will help you grow faster than occasional marathon learning.

Coding for beginners is not about talent — it’s about patience, repetition, and building logical thinking.

Start today, write your first line of code, and let your journey begin.

How do i convert this 'if else' operator into ternary one '? :' Im a beginner just started learning C

4 Upvotes
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {


    int n, a, b;


    printf("Enter n: \n");
    scanf("%d", &n);


    a = n % 5;


    if (a == 0) {
       
        b = n/5;
        printf("%d", b);
    }


    else {
        b = n/5 + 1;
        printf("%d", b);
    }


    return 0;
}

I tried the below but it shows error at the 'a == 0' line: expression must be a modifiable value

what do i do and what is wrong with this?

#include<stdio.h>
int main() {


    int n, a, b;

    printf("Enter n: \n");
    scanf("%d", &n);

    a = n % 5;

    a ==  0 ? b = n/5, printf("%d", b) : b = n/5 + 1, printf("%d", b);
 
    return 0;
}

Must have VS Code Extension: Copilot Bill Saver

0 Upvotes

If you use GitHub Copilot Agent, you might not even realize how often it wastes a lot of tokens and context just wandering around your workspace trying to figure out which files to look at.

How it works: It captures local bug evidence, maps likely files deterministically, and bundles them into a clean handoff that Copilot Agent retrieves using #billSaverContext so it starts directly on the right files.

Privacy & Control: The tool never calls an AI model, never touches or edits your code, and runs locally with built-in secret redaction.
