I’m tired of exuberant hardware prices so that companies can shove AI down our throats on subpar products that work way worse than they did before.
I use AI to correct AI :D Yea I know, sounds ridiculous, but hear me out. Claude Web works differently than Claude Code. I use Claude Web/Chat for briefs, general overview of the project outside of code/app, for planning and handing off the work to Code, that includes prompts. Code is tasked to output a detailed view…
