well i'm running claude code 24/7 on a server - instead of short coding sessions

Can you describe what kind of stuff you do where it can go wild without supervision? I never managed to get to a state where agents code for more than 10 min without needing my input

  • Same. I pay for $100 but i generally keep a very short leash on Claude Code. It can generate so much good looking code with a few insane quirks that it ends up costing me more time.

    Generally i trust it to do a good job unsupervised if given a very small problem. So lots of small problems and i think it could do okay. However i'm writing software from the ground up and it makes a lot of short term decisions that further confuse it down the road. I don't trust its thinking at all in greenfield.

    I'm about a month into the $100 5x plan and i want to pay for the $200 plan, but Opus usage is so limited that going from 5x to 20x (4x increase) feels like it's not going to do much for me. So i sit on the $100 plan with a lot of Sonnet usage.

    • If you use a single opus instance, you cannot really run out on the 20x plan. When you start running two in parallel, it becomes a lot easier to max out, but even so you need to have them working pretty much nonstop.

    • I find I get a _lot_ of Opus with the $200 plan. It's not unlimited, but I rarely cap out (I'm also not a super power user that spins up multiple instances with tons of subagents either, though).

Running on a server? As in, running it yourself?
