The only issue I have with Claude is that the rate limits are retarded.
Impossible to get real work done.
The request limits are rediculous and that is why I am not interested in ZED AI and Cursor AI as they are all nerfed by Claude's request limits.
The limitation is not for the API, it is only for the UI and how does that even nerfs the Zed or Cursor?
I'm a software dabbler so I can do basic stuff with frameworks like Django, but I'm definitely not a developer by any stretch. My use case is to build mvps cheap and quickly to test out ideas.
Claude spit out a Django project that integrated Twilio for SMS functionality. What's _really_ amazing is that it also walked me through how to set up ngrok and Twilio so that I could use my computer as a temporary server. Again, I'm a dabbler so devops is completely over my head.
In maybe 2 hours I had a functioning prototype that I could interact with via SMS. I can't comment on the quality of the code or how viable this approach is for building in production, but to bring an idea to life so quickly with limited skills is really exciting.
I’m basically a sysadmin with limited programming language skills other than pretty good with ansible/chef and can just usually figure stuff out, but not a coder or SRE-level by any means.
Even the cursor/Claude free plan combo is incredibly impressive, and if you are patient and provide good and reasonable prompts, I’ve been incredibly happy, even astounded with what I’ve been able to accomplish so far with a Python Flask web app I’ve been working on. I feel like that given my current Python skill-level (quite low), it would have taken me a few weeks (at the very least), to accomplish what I’ve done in one day with my Flask side project on the Cursor/Claude free plan. It’s kind of mind-blowing actually.
I switched over few months ago and still test GPT from time to time, Claude wins every time
3.5 Sonnet for all else.
But I've seen GPT-4o's responses to be much preferred over Claude 3.5 Sonnet and most of my customers are techy though I'm not sure it's for coding tasks.
As for me, I prefer gpt-4o.
