My hunch is that this article is going to be almost completely impenetrable to people who haven't yet had the "aha" moment with Claude Code.

That's the moment when you let "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" go to work on a difficult problem and watch it crunch away by itself for a couple of minutes running a bewildering array of tools until the problem is fixed.

I had it compile, run and debug a Mandelbrot fractal generator in 486 assembly today, executing in Docker on my Mac, just to see how well it could do. It did great! https://gist.github.com/simonw/ba1e9fa26fc8af08934d7bc0805b9...

If it helps anyone else. I downgraded from Claude max to pro for $20 and the usage limits are really good.

I think they’re trying to compete with Gemini cli and now I’m glad I’m paying less

I am on max and burning daily (ccusage) roughly my monthly subscription. It is not clear whether the API is very overpriced or we are getting aggressively subsidized. I can afford $100-200/month but not $3.000. Let's hope this last for a good while as GitHub copilot turned off the tap on unlimited usage very recently.
