Anyone else have a bunch of fun with Claude Code's Github integration... until you realized it spends from your API wallet balance? Oops, when I saw the /install-github-app command, I assumed that since I'm on a max plan and Claude Code in my terminal is free, then the Github integration would be free. So I hooked it up to my repo and tagged @claude in everything. It was a lot of fun tagging it in backburner issues a…

On one hand, it violated the principle of least surprise.

On another hand, you solved several years-old issues for under $50…which seems like a big win.

Yeah, it's the reason I eventually tuned out of Slack too (obviously I don't use it day to day). I used it for some things, some community stuff, every now and then. So when I open it up on a new machine or after months, you have to go through that magic link bs multiple times! For all your accounts/channels! I did that 2 or 3 times and then I just stopped using it. I don't even remember what I signed up for over the…

I don’t get why Slack can’t figure out how to help me migrate all my workspaces on a device I still have and am logged into in a new one in fewer than 3 steps per workspace. Sure, if I’ve lost all devices with the workspaces connected, maybe it needs to be that much PITA, but it’s a pretty common case to add/switch to a new machine or device and that process is obnoxiously poorly executed right now.

Claude is cool, they focus on cool and useful things. But man do I just want a way to quickly glance at my API credits and to just occasionally chat with a model from those credits without librechat of openwebui. Or set some limits, or see some usage metrics. And please please use "forever auth" with passkeys or something, what is up with that auth email that just takes ages for a quick glance?!

This is pretty cool.. I like the idea, could I make a semi-snarky feature request and could we add the estimated power consumed to produce results for each session ?

Soon we will have low carbon developers

This is great. I built a UI tool to run simultaneous Claude Code sessions (https://github.com/stravu/crystal) but by working on multiple features at once I hit the limits of my max account. Usually close to the reset, but it would be nice to know when it is time to take a break.

You can use your max plan ( https://github.com/grll/claude-code-action )

Currently in gray area but allowed as per anthropic comment on it - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action/issues/4#is...

I used to think the same thing, and I still want a login/password alternative for me. But after seeing normies use online accounts and the trouble they have with password managers, I realized one of my friends had the most secure process: she would create extremely high-entropy passwords everywhere, but not remember them. Once she's logged out of her sessions after a couple of months, she uses the password forgotten link to generate another password, and so on. So her passwords are never stored anywhere, she's immune to many login stealing phishing attempts through genuine-looking fake websites as she can't enter the password, she doesn't have to deal with syncing the passwords between all her devices, and she doesn't have passwords on a post-it on her workstation. And she also doesn't get those annoying emails saying "your password is 6-months old, please change it or else!".

The email auth flow is a simplified and more efficient way to achieve the same outcome.
