Very good, Code is extremely nice but as others have said, if you let it go on its own it burns through your money pretty fast.

I've made it build a web scraper from scratch, figuring out the "API" of a website using a project from github in another language to get some hints, and while in the end everything was working, I've seen 100k+ tokens being sent too frequently for apparently simple requests, something feels off, it feels like there are quite a few opportunities to reduce token usage.

It probably makes sense to continue using third party tools such as aider, for now. Anthropic doesn't have a lot of incentives to reduce token usage.

Yes, thinking the same thing here.
