- Why not use Opus 5?by fragmede
- I've used Claude Code for many hours every day since the original Sonnet so I'd have to say.. yes?
- I am reading this on hnafterdark - the HN proxy in golang that renders HN in dark mode. Claude wrote it for me, including gitea actions, and deployed to my home server while I was nap-trapped by a sleeping baby. Because I wanted to read HN while nap trapped, without shedding too much light. So: yes.by mynegation
- I've been using Claude Code for about a month. I'm on the $20/month plan. I mostly use whatever the current Sonnet model is, as it does the level of coding/reasoning I need without chewing up a ton of my credits, only switching to Opus or Fable when I had something deeper to chew on, like building some ongoing skills to apply to my whole project or doing a deep dive to check Sonnet's work on my overall code. I must say that I've never had a time when Claude was not usable. The closest I've been is the session saying it lost connection to GitHub and that I should create a new session, which was probably a good idea anyway, to save on token usage.by jsturgill
