@Lakotaubp @moem @arubislander off topic, but since i can not messare anyone even reply, i write here.
@linus67 please côntact these ppl @Lakotaubp @moem @arubislander about the issue that you can not post any of your posts. It was a pleasure to read about your journey into all of this. Thank you.
now to answer you @oldbutndy (sorry, I cannot reply in messages). claude has the most extensive free use tokens, I suggest you to use it for free for now, also there is one more week of free 2x more use, even without subscription if you use it outside of high load hours (ask claud when is that ). And then decide do you need more or not. To my experience this is the only powerful llm that has'nt choked free use, that crushes free geminy and gpt with a firm foot, so much that you will not want to use them for anything except simple translations and simplest lookups. Maybe there is even beter llms out there, I dont know you can research it with claude Sometimes I think why even talk to ppl at all, when there is such llms but they are echo chambers, just like ppl, but smaller and more comforting, so ppl still win.
In case of using it for code, I want to advise you not to expect it to do all the work for you, which with right dedication and variations of methods I've described, it actually can, but you'll end up an addict like me who will not be able to do anything without consulting "the mastermind" first . So if it helps, use it to explain the code, what you need to know to unerstand it yourself, to create boilerplates from best architectures and explain why their are best and give links to solid material about it and so on. But if you dont want to bother with all that, I personally think its ok to ask for a complete solution, just like you order a burger without sticking your fingers into the shefs stove, only hindrence is that not knowing the code you can not rely on spotting problems before they ocurre, and walk back and fourth to the thing with your test results, but again, you can insruct it to polish the code so good that even knowing it you will still have to test, but on free version there is not enough tokens for that. thats all I understand at this point.
ah, also its geting high use lately, and I've noticed, that when you get lost connection, or cannot finish a reply, or the page just freezes, its useful to not hit redo button, just wait 2-5 min depending on the task , and refresh the page. It may have done the work in the background but ui lags behind. Not much of an expert. Good luck!
ps
I'd feed that message entirely to claude, and ask what he thinks of it. Thats how much reliant on it I became
