If Claude usage limits are this important to your life, it seems a little smarter to just bite the Claude Max bullet. Isn't an ordinary sleep schedule easily worth $180/month difference?

This article is definitely just a joke. Right? Haha? It's a joke? People definitely aren't really doing this in real life? Ha? ...?

It might be optimized for visibility on HN...

Literally the first thing I thought when I read how claude counts usage is "I need to set up a cron job to do one claude request before I wake up, so my work day is split in half on the 7 hour bucket times. So probably 5AM, my tokens reset at 12, then reset again at 7.

yeah, which is easy to do with the cli command.

though I personally just make a single request right when I wake up, before making coffee.

I used to be a polyphasic sleeper so this article interested me but I find myself stuck on the final paragraph. > My velocity has increased 10x and I'm shipping features like a cracked ninja now, which is great because my B2B SaaS is still in stealth mode. Does someone have a good book I can read on stealth mode startups? My B2B SaaS is only small (about $1.25m ARR) but I can't imagine shipping features without someo…

I'm almost certain that it's parody or satire to some degree, but these days it's very hard to tell.

I think that was satire. The entire startup writing world has adopted the idea that you need to ship to actual customers as fast as possible. Developing features in stealth for years is a well-known way to trap yourself into making the wrong thing.

That said, I think the startup book, blog, Tweet, and LinkedIn think piece world went a little overboard with the "ship your MVP early" concept. For a while I was seeing little startups proudly ship things that just didn't work or lacked key features. The only real-world feedback they were getting was that the product was incomplete.

If you burn your early customers badly, you lose precious advocates. In my opinion you're doing the right thing by shipping features for your customers.

It is possible to over-focus on a few vocal customers, though. A common trap for small companies is to get into a relationship with 1 or 2 very vocal customers who will act like they're giving you insights into what the industry wants, but in reality they're just telling you what you want to hear in order to specialize your software for them. It's important to go out and validate the new feature requests with the broader market.

Why? If you don’t mind me asking.

Is it really censorship when 90% of AI related posts are just not-so-thinly-veiled advertisements with zero potential for meaningful discussion beyond "yes I agree fellow independent user, I also love Claude Code™ from Anthropic® and it has 1000x'd my productivity, their $5000/mo plan is a steal and everyone should buy it!"

I believe at least some of them are, yes. The rest might just be riding the hype to get on the front page, but the effect is the same.

There are dozens of solid vibe coding CLIs (soon probably hundreds, a new one is released every week), yet the only one that is guaranteed to be discussed 24/7 here is Claude Code, the other ones might as well not exist in comparison. The talking points are always the same, too: the expensive $200 plan and the fact that it's actually an amazing deal that everyone should buy are guaranteed to be brought up every time, hell, it's the top comment on this very post.

I'm beginning to see it brought up in unrelated posts all the time, too: "I made something like this with Claude Code", "I implemented this by letting Claude Code run overnight", and so on. Combined with posts like this one where people obsess over it to the point that it almost seems like satire (there's another post on the front page right now talking about how it's literally magic and how you should let it run wild on your prod servers), it's starting to feel more like a cult than anything else.

he mentioned being inspired by 100 rabbits. i assume the author is a bit odd compared to most people just from that

I am not odd in fact I am perfectly 100% normal
