Account Suspended Update

Guys I mailed claude support and got reply from Fin AI saying the support team is too busy please submit an appeal then it will be verified(which got rejected initially). Now I doubt do they even have a support team? Cause there isn't any phn number available and the support mail is on auto reply

Claude Code has zero idea what your codebase looks like structurally (Open source with benchmarks)

Every time I watch someone use Claude Code on a real codebase, the same thing happens. It rewrites a module that three other modules depend on without any awareness of coupling. It just reads the file, makes changes, moves on It reads files one at a time without any map. Doesn't know which files are coupled. Doesn't know who owns what. Doesn't know why that weird pattern in the auth module exists on purpose. I've been building an open source MCP layer to fix this called repowise. Self-hosted, pip install, AGPL-3.0. Five context layers that sit between your codebase and the model: Graph - ...

I stopped saying I use Claude

I share some of the work I do on social media, I mainly use Claude for coding cause it saves me so much time but I don't understand why people perceive a lot of the work someone does negatively only cause they're using an AI tool. X seems to be the most AI friendly but other social media platforms seem to hate all of a sudden once they learn something was built using AI. Sources that talk about the same thing: [https://creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/story/why-young-people-hate-i-155613887.html](https://creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/story/why-young-people-hate-i-155613887.html) , [https://www....

Does anyone else use Claude as a "thinking partner" rather than just for answers?

I've noticed I get way more out of Claude when I treat it less like a search engine and more like someone I'm thinking through a problem with. Instead of asking "what's the best way to structure a REST API?", I'll say "here's what I'm trying to do and here's what I'm leaning toward push back on me if I'm missing something." The responses are noticeably different. It actually disagrees, flags assumptions I didn't realise I was making, and sometimes lands on a direction I wouldn't have reached on my own. Curious if others do this deliberately, or if you've found other "modes" of using it tha...

The thing you built with Claude is useless to me... and that's the point

A few days ago there was a thread here asking what he most useful thing you've built with Claude was. A LOT of replies. I read all of them and then something clicked, I wanted to put it on the table. First of all, the list was incredible. An HTML file on someone's phone correlating migraines with barometric pressure, because the App Store wanted 80 bucks a year. A Garmin data archiver, because the official app deletes them. A grocery list sorted by the aisle layout of one specific supermarket. A bioinformatics pipeline for a handful of microbes, written by someone who isn't a bioinformaticia...

Running multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel with git worktrees - my approach

Quick story: I kept losing context every time I had to \`git stash\` and switch branches to test something an agent had suggested. Then I actually read up on \`git worktree\` and it solved the whole problem. What my setup looks like now: \- Main worktree: where I review and commit \- 2-3 extra worktrees, each with its own Claude Code session running on its own branch \- When one agent finishes a task, I \`cd\` in, review the diff, merge, move on \- No stashing, no context switching, no "wait what was I doing" Full writeup in the article on Medium (https://medium.com/@buildwithpulkit/git...

Share your Claude "User preferences" , I go first.

Been tweaking my Claude "User preferences" to make responses more useful and less corporate-AI-ish. So far it feels a bit better than without them. Maybe someone has stronger setups, would love to see them. Here's mine: Do not repeat the user’s question before answering. Avoid repetition and unnecessary summaries. Do not make responses longer than necessary. Write concisely and directly. Start with the conclusion, then explain if needed. No filler, long introductions, or generic AI phrases. When communicating and writing te...

Made a physical display to view my Claude usage.

Here is my source code with instructions I used to build this. [https://github.com/nimnim111/Claude-Monitor.git](https://github.com/nimnim111/Claude-Monitor.git) I built this in less than 24 hours using claude. And in total it cost me about $20 to make. The esp-32 cyd i used cost $18 and the cost of printing the case was $2 to print roughly. Unlike the other person im not selling this for $159 and I dont plan on scamming people so everything is up front.

Motivational quotes from Claude (no particular order)

* You've built a functional prototype with good UX instincts, but it's not ready for real users. * Likelihood of Success: 3/10. * This alone could kill your app within days of launch. * The market you chose is *especially* punishing. * Likes and visits from India are pure vanity metrics that won't convert, ever, and they're actively distorting your funnel data. * You may be conflating two different things. * The 'expense of feelings' framing might be doing too much work. * \[Your idea\] is an unbounded build with an unproven-core problem *and* a market problem *and* an eventual hardware probl...

Did the Pope use AI to write about the dangers of AI?

It's possible that AI was used to write parts of Pope Leo XIV's latest encyclical about AI's impact on humanity. An analysis by Linch Zhang posted on the forum LessWrong found certain paragraphs of Magnifica Humanitas to be between 40 percent and 100 percent written by AI, according to the popular AI detector Pangram. The document includes known traits that appear in AI-generated writing, such as a higher use of the word "genuinely" - which crops up in writing by Anthropic's Claude - than previous encyclicals, Zhang says. Another person ran the text of the document section by section through ...

I'm a software engineer with a decade of experience. This is how I'd approach learning to build apps using Claude Code if I were starting from scratch today:

I'm going to describe a person this post is for, if this is you, I think I can be of some assistance: * you are new to coding * you are blown away by how it unlocks this magical ability that was previously inaccessible without years of training and effort * you've daydreamed of business and app ideas but never knew where to start before or how to build them * you've been vibe coding non-stop and burning through tokens * you're unsure about what's secure, how to structure the systems, and how systems are supposed to interact with each other. So, essentially the plumbing separate from the code...

My company started measuring our Claude Code usage - now I'm asked to rank engineers on 'AI performance.' This feels wrong...

My company started tracking Claude Code usage - tokens and spend, that kind of thing. Now my manager wants me to stack-rank my engineers on "AI performance" using those numbers. I'm not comfortable with it (but I don't have a choice either). Token usage feels like exactly the wrong proxy - my strongest engineer uses Claude surgically while someone burning 10x the tokens isn't 10x more productive (often the opposite). Ranking on this just teaches people to game the metric. So, for folks here who use Claude daily and/or lead teams: * Has your company started measuring "AI performance"? How a...

Anyone else gotten something like this?

I wasn't even on my computer or Claude on May 25 when they said there was suspicious activity. Any ideas about what I should do? I emailed Anthropic a response but am not sure what else I can or should do. I'm furthered worried that if someone who is trying to do something weird on my account has has access to my account...it just makes me feel very concerned and like I am probably not the only case. https://preview.redd.it/k9rlklponj3h1.png?width=1028&format=png&auto=webp&s=de46e3c86a80b1c491d50fcda3a7e7ba7dfa7d76

What are your assumptions?

How do you decide when to start a new Claude session or branch?

I’m trying to understand how people think about session and branch hygiene when using Claude. When do you create a brand new session versus continue in an existing one? And when do you create a new branch versus just keep working in the same thread? For example, do people generally create a new branch for every unrelated task they want to accomplish, almost like a separate workspace? Or do you only branch when you are exploring a different direction on the same underlying problem? I’m mostly trying to avoid two failure modes: 1. Keeping too much unrelated context in one session and confu...

Maat: The Agentic Legal Research Assistant for Competition Protection

Competition law experts conducting legal research must review extensive volumes of cases, decisions, and judicial reports to identify precedents and assess key elements in competition and merger cases. Although general research assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT and legal assistants such as SaulLM-7B and LegalGPT are increasingly used to assist legal research, they remain inadequate for competition law analysis: they lack specialized domain expertise, provide insufficient official citations, or hallucinate competition law cases. We propose Maat, a ReAct agent that orchestrates tools corres...

me at hour 3 of prompting claude to verify something i could've just checked myself

# ok so i was working on this projectt and INSTEAD of just doing it i kept asking claude ai to verify all the requirments were met right like i would go "did you complete EVERYTHING" it would go "yes all done :))" and then i check myself and requirments 5 and 6 are just. missing so i tell it to fix it same thing hapens requirments 5 and 6 still missing i do this maybe 6 or 7 times before i realise bro i couldve just written requirments 5 and 6 myself in like 10 minutes , like PLEASE and then the same you were right to pushback on that... lmao at some point u gotta add a lil bit of ur own brai...

That is load-bearing.

I know this topic is discussed here a lot but I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD if I read another "That is real" OR "That is not nothing" OR "That is not X but Y" I am going to have a fucking aneurysm. Yes I have specifically forbidden it from telling me these phrases, yes I have specifically updated the memory and spec to BAN these phrases yet they slip through and I swear sometimes it is so insanely creative in its reasoning for how to get around these constraints but it just kills the immersion(?) so hard when it falls back on these god damn tropes. I use Claude (Max) for absolutely everything, ...

Opus 4.7 Often Assumes a Military Audience

This is especially prevalent in Claude Desktop and less obvious in Claude Code. * Often leads long assets with a BLUF (bottom line up front), specifically military-adjacent terminology. * Has slipped into language where it refers to civilians several times, as though it means someone other than us * References to things like deep-dive, vision-intent framing, force multipliers, and reframes are more subtle because they do cross over but their prevalence is unmistakable. This isn't a complaint, it's more a note that, "hey guys, we see your training material in our outputs" and its interestin...

I let Claude rank every YC Spring 26 startup — round 2

Follow-up to my W26 post a few months back. Ran the same Claude pipeline on the YC Spring 26 (X26) batch. Same setup: for each company, Claude scrapes founder LinkedIn profiles, searches for press and traction signals, and checks the product to see if something real exists or it's just a landing page. Then it scores on founder credibility, product reality, market opportunity, and competition, and assigns a tier from S to D. Demo Day is June 16, so the batch is mid-flight and rankings will keep shifting as more companies launch. Most are B or C tier, which feels about right for this stage. ...

Uber president says AI spending is getting ‘harder to justify’

Uber president Andrew Macdonald (pictured) says its “hard to draw a line” between AI spending and deliverable features. | Photo: Zed Jameson/Bloomberg via Getty Images After reportedly exhausting its annual AI budget just four months into 2026, Uber is now questioning whether it's actually seeing meaningful returns on its investments. In an interview with Rapid Response, Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald said the company isn't seeing a connection between rising token consumption for Claude Code and more useful features being delivered to consumers.

Why terminal

Hello, I'm on Windows having setup both Claude Code App and Terminal, but I find the App simply more convenient to use. I have had several people pushing me to use the Terminal saying "the App is low" and "Terminal is so much better" ... but when I inquired none of those people could actually name a single thing that the App would be missing (everything they mentioned the App has as well) or a single concrete reason why I should switch to Terminal beside vague phrases So is the terminal substantially better than the App in something, are there reasons to switch besides being used to it and p...

Just passed the new Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCA-F) exam with a 985/1000!

The original post was removed by Reddit Filters, so I made new one with same content. I just got my results back today and managed to snag the Early Adopter badge as well. Following up on my recent DP-600 certification, I really wanted to validate my architecture skills specifically on the Anthropic side. The exam covers a lot of practical ground on prompt engineering for tool use, managing context windows efficiently, and handling Human-in-the-Loop workflows.

Annoying AI tell that seems to have spiked recently: "honest caveat"

I noticed that Claude Code was giving me a lot of unsolicited caveats with phrasing like "honest caveat" or "genuine caveat" when this kind of hedging was absolutely unnecessary. I figured other people might be seeing the same thing so my instinct was to use Google Ngram but the cutoff year of 2022 meant that I had to use a different method. So I used Google search with quotes around the phrase "honest caveat" and set the time bound to different time intervals and compared the number of search results as a proxy for how usage has changed over time in indexed pages. As it turns out, while del...

Any tips on forming a good memory file on yourself for claude?

I see in non coding related chats claude is always guided by the memory file and its responses are shaped by it. I feel like if you had a really solid memory file you could make a lot more progress with life related things and other discussions with claude. Anyone explored this?
