Does anyone recall how to code manually? I certainly don't :-)

I feel ashamed writing code while Claude does it way better than me... I've found my forte is at designing systems and making project-level decisions, something that Claude still doesn't do very well.

I use Big-AGI [1] as selfhosted open source LLM workspace, and it's quite telling that when adding API keys for Anthropic, it presents a note inbetween reading "Experiencing Issues? Check Anthropic status" that it doesn't for any other model provider.

Slightly ot but I've been using OpenAI's GPT 5.4 on Codex and so far finding it more convincing than Claude with Opus 4.6 at maximum thinking for my use cases.

I'm more interested in helping with design and architecture rather than having it author tons of code.

Keep in mind that OpenAI has a way more generous tier for 20$ than Anthropic's one, and I think you can even use codex for free with the latest models, so give it a shot, you may find it better than you expected and a solid backup to Claude.
