    Tech Claude Code research preview - the future is now!

    this thing is awesome! it's terminal-based, it creates/edits/deletes files and folders, installs and runs software etc.(what could go wrong, right? :D) and it's smart. I've been using it since yesterday and am impressed.

    it's way more expensive than chatgpt / cursor and others. chatgpts plus monthly subscription fee easily gets spent in one hour with claude code. and it's worth it, it's so damn good.

      I use Claude 3.7 through GitHub Copilot agent mode and it's also quite nice, even though I still prefer Cursor for its dev experience.

      Now I also think that I need to try Claude Code...

      How do you use it? Is it like small regular dev tasks like "implement this feature" or sth, or you create an app from scratch?

      Also, do you really like the terminal-based control?
      I used Aider & Gemini before and I would still prefer Copilot, because it's just much more clear and UI friendly

          I've been using 3.7 since it came out pretty heavily. first in cursor, now in claude code. even though it's the same model, claude code doesn't mess with context size to make it more cost efficient. you yourself decide if and when its time to create a summary or clear context all together. so in claude code 3.7 does actually go through as much of your codebase as it deems necessary to complete a task. it's so much better, and it burns through tokens like mad

          how do i use it? well, first i tested it to help me implement a proper authentication logic(quite involved) into the app i've been working on. no, it didn't do the whole thing correctly in one go. but still impressed me. since then i've completely switched to claude code. it's a research preview and they're pushing out updates often.

          i too was skeptical about the terminal thing. but it's great, anthropic have done a great job with this thing. just try it, man - you will be impressed.

              speaking of Anthropic, that is a cool company. started by siblings after they left openai, then few more people left openai for anthropic. SBF invested $500m, then amazon a few billion. their claude 3.5 sonnet has been dominating ai-assisted programming since it's release just over a year ago. and now they release this magical thing.

              here's the Lex Fridman interview with the siblings

                      Yea, this one seems wild.

                      I tried it out based on your recommendation.

                      2 dollars and it coded a complete, pretty much bug free entire checkout for a system Im working on.

                      it used all my existing models, code style, css stling, without any prompt

                      ( i actually pasted the files I WANTED to prompt it for - and it accidentally submit )

                      it did exactly what I wanted with no prompt just based on the fuckin file names - wow
                      dead.

                          I will bro, now you've convinced me to 100% try it.
                          Thanks!

                                  I guess I am asking, "debug, deploy, and make millions ..." with what? What kind of site?

                                          No, I wasn't asking about what your project is. I don't ask people about their own stuff.

                                          I just meant what are most people doing with the scripts they generate with AI to make money? What kind of sites are they generally building?

                                          I see lots of store sites that sell tons of aromatherapy or nutraceutical products claiming to make $40k month. But for some reason they are selling them at 1.2 million. I guess they have enough money and want to 'help' others lol

                                              for those of you who don’t know about mcp servers…

                                              so, claude code by itself only has access to the contents of the folder that you run it from. but there is this thing called model context protocol(also invented by anthropic btw). using that you can connect it to databases, the file system, the browser and much more. this is limitless!

                                                  the claude crawler bot is very intrusive on your website if you do not have it blocked in robots.txt, it will send over 50,000 hits in a few hours

                                                  I have blocked them all now

                                                                      I'm making a system to create fully automated video compilations and I've been using ChatGPT (sucks now) Grok (sucks less) and Claude (fucking rockstar so far), but each of the 50 different things my complex system does each requires its own .bat file and ods files and API calls to online AIs to create the finished product... which is not very polished yet. It's getting better, but the compilations are not usable. Close, but no cigar.

                                                                      Super interested in this thread as ChatGPT seems to have gone backwards. It actually feels like it is worse now than last year.

                                                                      Its expensive.

                                                                      If you are trying to code using the chat interfaces and pasting back and forth, that's just not the way.

                                                                                              thanks for the lead on this, somehow I missed it.

                                                                                              I burned through a few bucks hella fast, so I just have it ready now for real head scratchers... cursor does fine in most cases, no need to light cash on fire

                                                                                                  While initially impressed it did highlight a flaw in the way I've been using cursor. ( giving files as context actually narrows the context, rather than amplifying it )

                                                                                                  since then I've not needed to invoke Claude code once.

                                                                                                  I still like having it available, but not sure why you think its worth running as your main agent? I don't see it, but could be missing something.

                                                                                                              ...unfortunately a yearly plugin renewed overnight, hitting my overdraft, and causing me a $-45 NSF fee hit me, which takes a big chunk out of my next affiliate payment.

                                                                                                              Being poor actually makes you poorer when this stuff happens, because that's $45 more the bank is taking from me just because I don't have a float to survive these things with. Billion dollar companies profiting because I struggle to survive! Holy fuck, well, today I am going through PayPal and cancelling all automatic payments I may have forgot about, all while having 0 food to eat. Good times, good times...

ChatGPT, at least the free version, is hot garbage at the moment. Claude gets things right in 2-4 prompts and ChatGPT, after like 20+, just hallucinates and starts sending me Python code randomly and I have to remind it what tast we're even on.

                                                                                                                                                              While initially impressed it did highlight a flaw in the way I've been using cursor. ( giving files as context actually narrows the context, rather than amplifying it )

                                                                                                                                                              since then I've not needed to invoke Claude code once.

                                                                                                                                                              I still like having it available, but not sure why you think its worth running as your main agent? I don't see it, but could be missing something.
                                                                                                                                                              I don’t think you’re missing anything, I wasn’t using cursor to its full potential. I used to add files into the chat as context and prompt it, and it seemed amazing especially considering that before then I stayed loyal to sublime text for 10+ years.

                                                                                                                                                              yesterday I tried cursors agent feature and it’s a whole new level. the new version is very nice as well. so now I’m using both cursor and claude code, trying to spot differences in logic / code quality

                                                                                                                                                                              I would definitely look into coding tutorials so you can at least supervise it properly, as it will certainly write some shit code.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I can't stand youtube tutorials.. too slow but

                                                                                                                                                                                          When starting with a new stack I typically load up their docs, then google "stack name best practices"

                                                                                                                                                                                          From there, for you I'd google "whatever stack beginner tutorials"

                                                                                                                                                                                          if you're using chat interfaces, use a new chat window, or even another AI to explain in detail what the code is doing ( modern rubber duckie coding )

                                                                                                                                                                                          this should allow you to confirm that the code does indeed do what you think its doing.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Different chat windows are key there.. as the same window will happily lie to you and confirm its own bullshit code

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I can't stand youtube tutorials.. too slow but

                                                                                                                                                                                                  When starting with a new stack I typically load up their docs, then google "stack name best practices"

                                                                                                                                                                                                  From there, for you I'd google "whatever stack beginner tutorials"

                                                                                                                                                                                                  if you're using chat interfaces, use a new chat window, or even another AI to explain in detail what the code is doing ( modern rubber duckie coding )

                                                                                                                                                                                                  this should allow you to confirm that the code does indeed do what you think its doing.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Different chat windows are key there.. as the same window will happily lie to you and confirm its own bullshit code
                                                                                                                                                                                                  Thanks. I've definitely had AI lie to me. ChatGPT has confidently repeatedly sworn to me it put the data points in the correct part of the spreadsheet, when it patently had not. Grok is the worst with this (for me so far YMMV) lying about its abilities and swearing links go to things they do not etc. Claude is my friend though and is straight with me.
