Happy 4th of July! 6 months ago I was unemployed, broke, and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life Today I'm working my dream job and genuinely excited about the future Here's exactly how it happened (thread for my future self, but maybe it'll help someone else too) 🧵

I have it falling back to API if I hit the limits. In the last week, roughly: Claude Code - 30h Opus for planning - 500h Sonnet for execution GitHub Copilot - 100h GPT 4.1 execution with Beast Mode I know, I'm slacking. Took some time off for my bro's 21st bday.
"one user consumed tens of thousands in model usage on a $200 plan" which member of @joingauntletai was this
Some of the biggest Claude Code fans are running it continuously in the background, 24/7. These uses are remarkable and we want to enable them. But a few outlying cases are very costly to support. For example, one user consumed tens of thousands in model usage on a $200 plan.
Shout out to @chadrwalters for sharing his $10,000 Claude Code setup w/ me Plz make a guide - the world needs to see! 🙏

Think it might be time to switch to Claude Code 🤮 @PSkinnerTech @DavidMaliglowka - anyone at cohort 2 have a guide i could check out?



First thought: $8500 is ridiculous Second thought: Wait… I live there! Third thought: Wait… we pay more than her
