I hit the Claude limit within an hour.

Most of my tokens are used arguing with the hallucinations.

I’ve given up on it.

Do you use Claude Code, or do you use the models from some other tool?

I find it quite hard to hit the limits with Claude Code, but I have several colleagues complaining a lot about hitting limits and they use Cursor. Recently they also seem to be dealing with poor results (context rot?) a lot, which I haven't really encountered yet.

I wonder if Claude Code is doing something smart/special

In my case I've had it (Opus Thinking in CC) hit 80% of the 5-hour limit and 100% of the context window with one single tricky prompt, only to end up with worthless output.

Codex at least 'knows' to give up in half the time and 1/10th of the limits when that happens.

I don't want to be That Guy, but if you're "arguing with hallucinations" with an AI Agent in 2026 you're either holding it wrong or you're working on something highly nonstandard.

That’s been my experience and has lead to hours of wasted time. It’s faster for me to read through docs and watch YouTube.

Even if I submit the documentation or reference links they are completely ignored.

Because I’m sick of paying $20 for an hour of claude before it throttles me.

I thought Bezos paid enough in bribes for it to not affect AWS/Amazon?

Sorry, donated.

I use that and Mr. Chilly.

Mr. Chilly is one of those niche apps that sparks joy and reminds me of the early app days.

This was directly inspired by Mr Chilly which was designed by my friend Anna Bleker.

It's an excellent iOS app: https://mr-chilly.com/

My goal was to do something similar as a Claude Code skill

I use Mr Chilly to demonstrate to non-SF folks how many microclimates SF (and the Bay Area has).

Only suggestion: separate Inner and Outer Sunset since there can be a massive difference between near Ocean Beach and near Irving/9th Ave in autumn (ie. SF's hottest season).

Edit: nevermind, just saw both inner_sunset and outer_sunset in /neighborhoods. I'd assumed it was merged based on the human readable list on the landing page. Thanks for the fun API!

thanks I will update the homepage to reflect this.

How is this not the top of the front page?

Are we just immune to these headlines now because we don’t expect anything different from Microslop? Just an assumption that they’ll have a catastrophic failure once a quarter or more.

I’m endlessly frustrated with the Microslop experience over the last 12 months.

What are my alternatives? We utilize the entire 365 suite and it feels daunting to migrate everything to individual services.

From what I’ve seen - that’s been their goal this whole time ;)

We are a small team and rely on outlook, 365, etc.

The last year has been miserable for outages.

What are the alternatives with better uptime?

In what world is meta strongly left-biased?

I tried to get Claude to build me a spreadsheet last night. I was explicit in that I wanted an excel file.

It’s made one in the past for me with some errors, but a framework I could work with.

It created an “interactive artifact” that wouldn’t work in the browser or their apps. Gaslit me for 3 revisions of me asking why it wasn’t working.

Created a text file that it wanted me to save as a .csv to import into excel that failed hilariously.

When I asked it to convert the csv to an excel file it apologized and told me it was ready. No file to download.

I asked where the file was and it apologized again and told me it couldn’t actually do spreadsheets and at that point I was out of paid credits for 4 more hours.
