Unfortunately at my company leads have no insight into employees claude code caps, and no one has ever complained until now. Apparently some people were basically running with insane caps on CC (25k+), if you asked for it you were approved. Which lead to some people doing insane things on CC for no purpose.

Yeah i was looking there earlier, its just we thankfully mostly have macbooks, but i recently found out new devs are getting the smaller 8gb ram macbooks as well. Which is going to be even more frusturating.

Since my team is mostly remote running LLM on a cluster in the office is not really viable short term.

Given our field we cannot really use anything not approved by management. Pretty much if it doesn't leave our machine we can use its just i don't find anything good. We even have some new devs on the macbook neos, and i can't even find anything for them.

I was considering having something run locally within out building but the time when something like that would be avaliable is not near term so i am trying to make the best of what i can do.

Fundamentally one of my biggest gripes with tools like this is that often you are not working with a single repo in anything beyond simple apps.

When I am working with Claude I am often doing it from the root directory of a workspace of dozens of repos. I work with Claude to come up with a plan for implementing a feature and it investigates and plans.That plan often encompasses multiple repositories. Claude then turns large scale plans into smaller issues, or tickets as artifacts.

Imo I found opus 4.6 to be a pretty big step back. Our usage has skyrocketed since 4.6 has come out and the workload has not really changed.

However I can honestly say anthropic is pretty terrible about support, to even billing. My org has a large enterprise contract with anthropic and we have been hitting endless rate limits across the entire org. They have never once responded to our issues, or we get the same generic AI response.

So odds of them addressing issues or responding to people feels low.

Hi I just wanted to let you know your article screams like it was written by AI as you fail to go into any real explanation for anything.

I can summarize your entire essay as frankly:

"We can give maintainers of OSS projects money to maintain projects" revolutionary never been done before. /S

The company I work for has a pretty bad bounty system (basically a security@corp email). We have a demo system and a public API with docs. We get around 100 or more emails a day now. Most of it is slop, scams, or my new favourite AI security companies sending us an AI generated pentest un prompted filled with false positives, untrue things, etc. It has become completely useless so no one looks at it.

I had a sales rep even call me up basically trying to book a 3 hour session to review the AI findings unprompted. When I looked at the nearly 250 page report, and saw a critical IIS bug for Windows server (doesn't exist) existing at a scanned IP address of 5xx.x.x.x (yes an impossible IP) publically available in AWS (we exclusively use gcp) I said some very choice words.

Yup. The way he works is all tasks he is issued in a sprint he just fires them through opus in parallel hoping to get a hit on Claude magically solving the ticket having them constantly be iterated on them. He doesnt even try using proper having plans be created.

Often time tickets get fleshed out or requirements change. He just throws everything out and reshoves it into Claude.

I weep for the planet.

I have a coworker who is basically doing this right now he leads our team and is second place overall. Regularly runs opus in parallel he alone is burning through 1k worth of credits a day.

He is also one of our worst performers.

Frankly Claude code is painfully slow. To the point I get frustrated.

On large codebases I often find it taking 20+ minutes to do basic things like writing tests.

Way too often people are like it takes 2 minutes for it to do a full pr. Yeah how big is the code base actually.

I also have a coworker who is about 10x more then everyone else. Burning through credits yet he is one of the lowest performers.{closing in on around 1k worth of credits a day now).

We regularly do tens of thousands of QPS on pgvector fine on massive data stores.

We dropped milvus after they started trying for force their zilliz garbage saas down our throats.

As someone who works at a company who has to manage millions of SSL certificates for IoT devices in extremely terrible network situations I dread this.

One of the biggest issues is handling renewals at scale, and I hate it. Another increasingly frusturation is challenges via DNS are not quick.

It baffles me that parents have become so lazy they don't even want to monitor what their kid does anymore online, and instead expect the government to do all the work.

I remember when my daughter wanted to play Roblox with some friends I sure as shit did my best to monitor and lock down that horrible thing. Same with just general internet monitoring. Whenever she wants to play some game or something I research it.

I have sat down with her countless times and yeah she has broken my trust a few times and she looses access to the internet.

My father is currently in a long term care facility. He was in that same one for almost 5 years and never had a problem. Last year it was acquired indirectly via a larger group owned by a private equity firm.

This was not a low end place back in 2023. By the end of the last year not only had the cost increased by 30%. Internally there was a number of layoffs and quality shot down. Originally it was supposed to be 1 registered nurse per 4 people. By the end it was 1 "medical professional" per 20 who constantly rotated. Who would not answer if they had formal medical training.

Before at night people could go for walks on the premises, or if they were hungry they could go get hot food prepared by staff. New management locked everyone in at 8pm. If you missed any meal time you were told cope. Food was not allowed in the "suites" anymore. My dad and his friends there would go get together and spend time at night or socialize. Not allowed anymore after 8pm you were locked in your room.

I pulled my father out of there when he told me the above. Now his new retirement home is now also changing ownership.
