That seems like Anthropic's problem.
It's going to be quickly your problem when they figure out you're breaching ToS and ban your account.
So... I make another account? Problem solved.

The whole point of these services is that it’s not your account. It’s very much anthropic’s problem, and honestly I don’t care they’re getting ripped off.

it's not a subsidy. It's predatory pricing and it should be illegal. I offer you a service at a loss to remove competition and then increase prices once you are stuck with it.
Actually, that is illegal.
Yes, but if it's never enforced is it really?

I mean at this point can we just conclude that there are a group of engineers who claim to have incredible success with it and a group that claim it is unreliable and cannot be trusted to do complex tasks. I struggle to believe that a ton of seemingly intelligent software engineers are too dumb to figure out how to use Claude code to get reliable results, it seems much more likely to me that it can do well at isolate…
I see two basic cases for the people who are claiming it is useless at this point. One is that they tried AI-based coding a year or two ago, came to the IMHO completely correct at that time conclusion that it was nearly useless, and have not tried it since then to see that the situation has changed. To which the solution is, try it again. It changed a lot. The other are those who have incorporated into their personal…
I can see huge utility with AI as a guide and helper.
But not being one leg in the code myself is not something I am comfortable with. It starts feeling like management and not development. I really feel the abdication very strongly and it makes me unable and unwilling to put a hard stamp on quality. I have seen too much hallucination or half missed requirements to put that much trust in AI.
It's the same with code reviews of hard tickets. You can scroll past and just approve, but do you really understand what your colleague has built? Are you really in the driver's seat? It feels to me like YOLOing with major consequences.
I dont but, at all that people doing 20x output have any idea what they are coding. They are just pressing the yolo button and no one, not the engineer, not the AI and not management is in the driver's seat. it is a very scary time.

Serious senior engineering for over a decade You sound like a pro wrestler. I'd like to know what "hard-hitting" engineering work is. Hydraulic hammers?
I mean five nines is legitimately difficult to accomplish for a lot of problem spaces. It's also like.... difficult to honestly and accurately measure. And account for whether or not you're getting lucky based on your underlying dependencies (servers, etc) not crashing as much as advertised, or if it's actually five nines. Or whether you've run it for a month and gotten I always assume most people claiming five nines…
5 nines is at best a temporary achievement, given enough time.

Man I really thought this was satire. It’s phenomenal that you can gain 10x benefits at all layers of the stack, you must have a very small development team or work alone. I just don’t see how I could export 10x the work and have it properly validated by peers at this point in time. I may be able to generate code 10-20x faster, but there are nuances that only a human can reason about in my particular sector.
It's simpler actually: author trying to make a business developing AI product.
Re: Claude Code login fails with OAuth timeout on Windows
#307Mounting evidence that claude max users are put into one big compute fuel pool. Demand increased dramatically with OpenAI's DoD PR snafu (even though Anth was already working with the DoD? But I digress...). The pool hit a ceiling. Anth has no compute left to give. Hence people maxing out after 1 query. "Working on it" means finding a way to distill Claude Code that isn't enough of a quality degradation to be noticed…
Alternatively, the elephant in the room I'm surprised no one wants to talk about: the vibe coding is catching up with them.
If an AI doesnt generate perfect code, if left to its devices it will at some point create a codebase big and nasty enough that it will not be able to deal with it.
Re: Claude Code login fails with OAuth timeout on Windows
#308As much as people on Hacker News complain about subscription models for productivity and creativity suites, the open arms embrace of subscription development tools (services, really) which seek to offload the very act itself makes me wonder how and why so many people are eager to dive right in. I get it. LLMs are cool technology. Is this a symptom of the same phenomenon behind the deluge of disposable JavaScript fram…
The great part is that you can always build your own selfhosted tools. There is nothing that can't be done at home, it's just a calculation of how much you're willing to spend. Lately though the RAM crisis is continuing and making things like this more unfeasible. But you can still use a lot of smaller models for coding and testing tasks. Planning tasks I'd use a cloud hosted one, for now, because gemma4 isn't there…

I use Claude Code a lot, but I don't understand these "I'm doing 10X the work" comments. I spend a lot of time reviewing any code that comes out of Claude Code. Even using Opus 4.6 with max effort there is almost always something that needs to be changed, often dramatically. I can see how people go down the path of thinking "Wow, this code compiles and passes my tests! Ship it!" and start handing trust over to Opus,…
That's part of why I don't get AI for directly writing code at all. If I am going to be reviewing anything that comes out of it (and I will) then I might as well just write it myself. It's easier and faster, although it does also make it easier to fall victim to blind spots.

Senior engineer with 25 years of experience here. I wish I spent enough time actually coding that 10x-ing my coding productivity would matter much to my job. Most of my day is spent wrangling requirements, looking after junior devs, stamping out confusion brush fires before they get out of control, and generally just trying to steer the app away from a trainwreck down the line. When I do code, it's almost always some…
This is basically the thing I keep coming back to with the agentic tools.
It is the wrangling requirements, stamping out confusion, and steering away from a trainwreck down the line that are the actual challenging parts of the job and we can't automate those yet. Once you do actually know the code change you want to make though it is pretty nice to change it 10x faster than before.
