Genuinely of the best reasons to build a tool tho? "I had a problem X, so I did nothing and kept complaining (without LLM)" would be pretty tiring to me personally

The problem is that anyone can type "I have this problem, plz fix" into Claude Code. What unique insight or skill did they bring to the process? That's the interesting part. Otherwise it's just a small part of a huge sea of people's individual attempts to solve the same problems that everyone else is solving by themselves.

Indeed. Pre-LLM this kind of thing was a little interesting because you'd need to put a little thought and effort in whereas now it's a one-shot thing straight from an LLM. Don't be a slop proxy, as the saying goes.

You wait until the month resets.

Why not juat write the code. Its not that much faster to produce good code with AI. I spend nearly identical amoubts of time reviewing AI code as it would take to write. Im honestly not convinced there is all that much of a productivity boost, maybe 20% faster.

I was mostly joking, but to answer your question, the productivity boost entirely depends on your concern for code quality. Sometimes is it faster to just write the code than to try to explain in the prompt what to do. But if you don't care or don't need to understand what it is creating, you can get a ton of functionality fast.

Pretty cool tool! Congrats! Not sure if I'm missing something but this tells you where your tokens went, breakdown per day/tool. So the "why" is still a question left for the user to answer. Can be something like "Because I was missing a good CLAUDE.md file so it had to explore the whole repo before doing any work" or anything else. Just my take.

That is a very common title format for HN, and has been for a while. It wasn't just since AI has evolved—it has always been a load bearing part of HN 100% Human written slop

Human written slop?

Can you please not post AI-generated or AI-edited comments to HN? It's not allowed here - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079.

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) have been getting classified that way.

I made an "amateur hour" error with Codex. Given Anthropic's recent reliability problems I thought I'd take a little time to try Codex with their $20/mo plan. So I downloaded it and gave it a whirl, not realizing that the default model was gpt-5.6-sol. Well after just an hour or two, I blew through my entire week's quota. Whoops! It would be cool if these harnesses could all graphically display your quota usage on the screen at all times.
