It’s definitely easy with an API key I hit 200$ in an evening. I didn’t think that could be possible. Horrifying

- DANmode 1y agoTo be clear, this is a lot of full-scale reading and (re)writing, without any rules, promots, "agents"/code to limit your resource usage, right? Nobody's asking for $200 in single-line diffs in less than a day - right?
- shinycode 1y agoIt’s not about a single line diff but the same prompts with cursor does not end costing that much
- DANmode 1y agoYes - do you understand why?
- shinycode 1y agoYes I do, it’s just for new comers who are used to cursor where, without careful prompting you just lock yourself out of premium requests, that’s not immediately a given that CC is more dangerous and does not work the same way at all. Of course it requires careful planning but the trap is easy to fall into.
- DANmode 1y agoIn my experience, it's more about the tool's local indexing and aggressive automatic upload and model usage limitations to avoid them (and you) overpaying. People are recreating this with local toolchains now.
- AJ007 1y agoRight, this is having Claude Code just running as an agent doing a lot of stuff. Also tool use is a big context hog here.
