I think it depends on how many threads you have running at the same time. I have Claude writing a compiler in one window, a ui framework for the language in another, an application using the installed versions of compiler and frameworks in another, and a ui designer (an Interface Builder lookalike) in another keeping up with the framework.

Each of these has a file it listens to in ~/tmp/<name>.io and whenever one needs something from the other, they message each other via that file. Tasks can bounce back and forth as issues are resolved and tested. At the same time, I keep each busy with a list of tasks

I can fairly easily run out of my $200/month subs every week, if I let Fable be the default model. With Opus it’s less likely. If and when I do, I just have an alias ‘claude.ds’ which fires up Deepseek instead, and burns through far less money, though I don’t think it’s as good at solving problems, just MHO.
