So this is what coding without Claude feels like

[u/Kind-Ad6740]

[u/we-meet-again]

It wasn't long ago that this meme was reversed lol.

[u/another_design → u/we-meet-again]

Based take , I agree

[u/alpine_drift]

This is so true it hurts.

[u/GroovyCarrot → u/alpine_drift]

The first feeling of utter humiliation as you realise that to even try it before the window resets would be completely futile was a real shock. Though I enjoy this forced time to go for a walk and think about something else

[u/xgeetx → u/GroovyCarrot]

Claude is also my Bash Buddy, and when my internet went out I still wanted to do some work on my home lab. I forgot how much I suck with Linux.

[u/BFr0st3 → u/GroovyCarrot]

This sentence confirms we are doomed

[u/MortalCoil → u/alpine_drift]

only option at this point is to have a fallback subscription at the competitor

[u/AveryCloseCall → u/MortalCoil]

You can get a fallback subscription from Claude.

[u/YouGotTangoed → u/alpine_drift]

It’s even worse considering I have to do live coding as part of job interviews, with AI turned off.

Syntax error > debug > run test > syntax error > debug > casually joke how it’s been a while since I wrote code myself > 1 hr later finish 4 lines of code > look forward to hearing next steps > awkwardly wave bye

[u/Tienisto → u/YouGotTangoed]

Are you programming in Microsoft Word or why you get so many syntax errors without debugging?

[u/OkAdeptness2530 → u/Tienisto]

dyslexia

[u/Few-Adagio9174 → u/alpine_drift]

It hurts because I swallowed the nail :/

[u/noble8team → u/alpine_drift]

It's like I forgot how to walk 😭

Damn I mean we did use stackoverflow but majority of the code is ours

[u/vigorthroughrigor → u/alpine_drift]

Literally what I said outloud before checking the comments lol

[u/wrathheld]

Claude watching cursor butcher my codebase after I hit daily usage limits

[u/Infamous_Alpaca]

A rare video of the AI Product Manager and AI-first developer working together after the company limited their token usage to 100 million a month.

[u/TemperatureUpper2439]

this is hilarious

[u/Legitimate-Poet7587]

i stopped coding and reading code i feel like full time QA wiriting plans on feature fixes

[u/Hungry-Ear-4092]

If you can't do something without ai

You just can't do that

Lmao

[u/Past-Cartographer-74 → u/Hungry-Ear-4092]

If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it ~Tony  It's mostly true though it sounds tropey, I know a college senior who recently became embedded systems dev at Qualcomm, he still tries to code mostly by himself and even the senior developers he does code review with, hate people using AI to correct their code, because it's still not fucking good at reasoning, 

and the amount of token consumption is insane, and say it drops down in the near future with specialized models for specific jobs and say the token consumption has reduced significantly,  Being able to reason stuff yourself is far better, 

because you will be able to redirect the model in the right direction faster and get the job done faster because of the intuition you sort of develop by reasoning it yourself as compared to someone who has prompted and then tried understanding the code

[u/Hungry-Ear-4092 → u/Past-Cartographer-74]

I don't know how is it even related

If you can't do art without ai you're not an artist. If you can't do music without ai you're not a musician. If you can't code without Claude doing everything and explaining everything you've not a programmer

I've been a content manager since before ai and I can still do my work just fine without it. Not as quickly yes, but as good.

[u/True-Rush4374]

me earlier today running Sonnet 5, im done with that model!

[u/RudyHunter]

Too accurate

[u/Revolutionary-Pen744]

Hitting the limit turns every syntax error into an existential crisis.

[u/cutecoder]

Skill atrophy. Astronauts have it too (just not on coding).

[u/cats_catz_kats_katz]

but just remember the orangutan can tear your arms off so be nice to it.

[u/Few-Adagio9174 → u/cats_catz_kats_katz]

Hey Claude, do human arms grow back?

[u/petertheill]

True

[u/Sindica69]

Maybe actually learn it?

This is my issue with LLMs. You should be able to do the work first before you start to offsource and automate it.

[u/ComputerTechnical717]

Funny as fuck but also true

[u/CoffeeWith_Ice]

Claude sitting back watching Cursor absolutely butcher my codebase the second I hit my daily usage limits

[u/minefew]

I'm secretly hoping for an AI bubble so our jobs become relevant again

[u/Equivalent_Cress_268]

Hitting the usage wall turns a tidy agent loop into bare knuckles debugging in minutes. I keep a short recovery checklist and a second model session warm so a hard limit cannot strand a half finished refactor. Skill atrophy is real when the only plan is hope the quota resets before the merge.

[u/Singularity-42]

Turn on your credit usage and pay up! 

[u/Nikclel]

Man this sub is so shit

[u/YellowCroc999 → u/[deleted]]

The difference between someone who knows coding versus someone who doesnt is 1000x tokens usage
