Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

The biggest complaint I (and several others) have is that we continuously hit the limit via the UI after even just a few intensive queries. Of course, we can use the console API, but then we lose ability to have things like Projects, etc. Do you foresee these limitations increasing anytime soon? Quick Edit: Just wanted to also say thank you for all your hard work, Claude has been phenomenal.

I paid for it for a while, but I kept running out of usage limits right in the middle of work every day. I'd end up pasting the context into ChatGPT to continue. It was so frustrating, especially because I really liked it and used it a lot.

It became such an anti-pattern that I stopped paying. Now, when people ask me which one to use, I always say I like Claude more than others, but I don’t recommend using it in a professional setting.

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

Thanks for sharing - I really feel Claude gets me ;-)

I consider this high praise indeed, lol.

Looks like it's really only using the most recent comments, rather than looking at all of them across the lifetime of the account.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet scored 60.4% on the aider polyglot leaderboard [0], WITHOUT USING THINKING. Tied for 3rd place with o3-mini-high. Sonnet 3.7 has the highest non-thinking score, taking that title from Sonnet 3.5. Aider 0.75.0 is out with support for 3.7 Sonnet [1]. Thinking support and thinking benchmark results coming soon.

Have you tried Claude 3.7 + Deepseek as the architect? Seeing as "DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022" is the second place option, "DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-7" would hopefully be the highest ranking choice so far?

Be glad that you are empowered to pivot - I'm making the assumption you are still young being a student. In a disrupted industry you either want to be young (time to change out of it) or old (50+) - can retire with enough savings. The middle age people (say 15-25 years in the industry; your 35-50 yr olds) are most in trouble depending on the domain they are in. For all the "friendly" marketing IMO they are targeting…

Not enough resources to get another bachelors, and a masters is probably practically worthless for a pivot. I would have to throw away the past 10 years of my life, start from scratch, with zero ideas for any real skill-developing projects since I'm not interested at all. Probably a completely non-viable candidate in anything I would choose. Maybe only Robotics would work, and that's probably going to be solved quick…

I think if you believe LLMs can truly generalize and will be able to replace all labor in entire industries and 10x every year, you pretty much should believe in ASI at which point having a job is the least of your problems.

if you rule out ASI, then that means progress is going to have to slow. consider that programming has been getting more and more automated continually since 1954. so put yourself in a position where what LLMs can do is a complement to what you can do. currently you still need to understand how software works in order to operate one of these things successfully.

Thanks for all the work on aider, my favorite AI tool.

It really is best in slot. Owe it to git, which has a particular synergy with a hallucination-prone but correctable system

I like Aider but I've turned off auto-commit. I just can't seem to let the AI actually commit code for me. Do you regularly let Aider commit for you? How much do you review the code written by it?

This was far more impressive to be quite honest [0].

Anthropic is back and cementing its place as the creator of the best coding models—bravo! With Claude Code, the goal is clearly to take a slice of Cursor and its competitors' market share. I expected this to happen eventually. The app layer has barely any moat, so any successful app with the potential to generate significant revenue will eventually be absorbed by foundation model companies in their quest for growth a…

I think an argument could be reasonably made that the app layer is the only moat. It’s more likely Anthropic eventually has to acquire Cursor to cement a position here than they out-compete it. Where, why, what brand and what product customers swipe their credit cards for matters — a lot.

Cursor has no models, they dont even have an editor its just vscode

I tried signing up to use Claude about 6 months ago and ran into an error on the signup page. For some reason this completely locked me out from signing up since a phone number was tied to the login. I have submitted requests to get removed from this blacklist and heard nothing. The times I have tried to reach out on Twitter were never responded to. Has the customer support improved in the last 6 months?

You can try using it through Github Copilot? Just as a different avenue for usage.

I don't want use the product after having a bad experience. If they cannot create a sign up page without it breaking for me why would I want to use this service? Things happen and bugs can occur, but the amount of effort I have put in to resolve the issue outweighs the alternatives that I have had no issues using.

If people are paying for use, then why can’t you have both?

It takes time to grow capacity to meet growing revenue/usage. As parent is saying, if you are in a growth market at time T with capacity X, you would rather have more people using it even if that means they can each use less.

If you can’t scale with your customer base fire your CTO.
