That’s a rad technique. Thanks for sharing.

I often push past 300k or so and I’ve absolutely worked at 800k but it’s an observable problem. Large context windows can work depending on the problem but I do feel more effective biasing towards small ones <300k.

Wow, this doesn’t even look like the normal “hiring”/jobs post. Just a funnel straight into a potential scam :/ Shocking to see it here.

It looks like they might be using a loophole since their product is training for jobs they are using that as a substitute for, “we’re hiring.”

> Just a funnel straight into a potential scam

They claim that they do not charge you anything. So, how can they scam you? Of course, besides your hours and the potential outcome (code). Just curious.

Research the issues Lambda School had, particularly how "free" turned out to not be free.

To be fair they also claim they will give you $200k...

Not cash!

I recommend people just update their Claude Code status line so that changes like this are in Claude Code itself.

My status line shows 5h and 7d quota usage among other things like model, context usage, git branch, etc. Unfortunately the whole status line disappears half of the time from CC’s broken ass UI.

Personally I have multiple instances of Claude on my PC dedicated to different areas (split between my private subscription and my work one) and it is useful to see both at a glance. And I don't have to keep the terminal open to see how much time is left for quota to be reset. But for single-Claude users this is indeed a valid solution!

I also use multiple. Your statusline is per Claude session so it can show separate quotas/file info/context use/etc.

It’s just a script you write to modify the last line of the Claude Code program.

Lots of people are gambling on AI with big bucks. Some of it is promising but all those bets won’t pay off. I like to think of this mindset as being the human slot machine that people are shoving money into.

It could be but there’s always been so called “10x developers” who just make 10x messes. I think it’s the continuation of an existing phenomenon.

This is a confusion that you could not have predicted, but primed by your comment, I expected "terminal star" to refer to a suggested predecessor of the AI rockstar. No, it refers to the animated Claude Code star :P

Yeah probably my favorite of the bunch too. I bet there’s a fun project to do to make a customizer for that.

Error: Success!

You must work in QA

I learned the fast shoelace knot from this site years ago. Highly recommend it: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm

It’s both functional and a great party trick.

I wrote about this a little bit today too. You’re up against a dopamine machine that writes code for you.

A lot of good comes out but it can be hard to separate from the parts that just take advantage of your brain.
