Yeah, my colleague recently said "hey I've burnt through $200 in Claude in 3 days". And he was prompting. Max 8hrs/day Imagine what would happen if AI was prompting. As I like this allegory really much, AI is (or should be) like and exoskeleton, should help people do things. If you step out of your car putting it first in drive mode, and going to sleep, next day it will be farther, but the question is, is it still on…

#463I just don't understand where these people get all this money. The answer is often "oh it's just claude max" like man I don't have 200$ MONTHLY lying around ?? That's half my rent
Where are you living that your rent is $400?
Living in Paris, but I exaggerated rent is actually 600€ and it's like the best opportunity one can have. Still, even if I lived in a regular flat with 1000 euros rent, I don't see how 20% additional "rent" money is worth it for side fun projects

Some of the Claude whales I know: - Highly paid FAANG engineers that are working on side projects / startup ideas, and will pay whatever it takes. They have the means to do so. - Startups with funds. - Regular tech workers that are allowed to use the company card.
Makes sense

I am not laughing about PHP. To this very day many of my best projects are built on PHP. And while last 7 years I have spent in full stack JavaScript/TypeScript environment it has never produced the same things I was actually able to do with PHP. I actually feel that things I built 15 years ago in PHP were better than anything I am trying to achieve with modern things that gets outdated every 6 months.
I feel like today an engineer with a modern framework and AI con produce in an afternoon a product that deliver real value, something that 25 years ago would have required a full hour by a high schooler with MS Access.
I was building awesome things with Access 20 years ago. I loved that thing.
I wasn't even a software engineer. I was in the EE, but I needed a way to track process and it definitely outperformed. And the best thing, it didn't cost us anything. Everybody already had access, lol.
I had 40 people use it in production, manufacturing cutting edge stuff. Definitely beat spreadsheets because Access gave you gui for operators.

> it's just that there's a human limit on how much garbage they can type out in their allocated time. Another example where removing friction and constraints is a bad thing.
i think the friction has moved upstream - now it's working on the right thing and specifying what correct looks like. i don't think we are going back to a world where we will write code by hand again.
Unless what you want to do isn't well represented in the training set.

This comment reads very strongly like it was written by an LLM.
