How are people hitting limits?
I consider myself a Heavy cgpt user since 2022. To the extent where I’ve made over 30k ish in solo dev side-projects since 2024 that wouldn’t have been possible without hiring a team.
I have not once gotten a over limit notice from openai.
Alternatively, I used to max out my claude tokens very quickly even on fairly small projects.
The only difference I can tell from how I see other people utilizing these tools is that I never once “fire and forget.”
My project flow is: 1000 rounds of text back-and-forth on architecture, data structures, competitive analysis, tool use and calling, etc… and then the last 10% is code writing test development and then usually about five rounds of CI/CD iteration until I get to a MVP or something shippable.
Are the majority of people attempting to one shot and then when they fail they just keep trying to one shot?
In my experience, you can get 90% of the way to the technical solution before generating any code whatsoever.
That’s been true before LLM’s continues to be true now.
