    I spent $200 in one session the other day, watching the clanker design, implement, and review the change. Still have no idea what I did but my name is on the commit

        Fair point, but not any less fulfilling than my day job already was, arguably maybe a little more fun to be spending the company’s money on nonsense. My job pays my bills very adequately, that’s normally the only fulfilling thing about it.

      I’ve no idea how to even see that. There’s a little bar on the settings page on the Claude site that shows a percentage of usage, but I’ve genuinely no idea how much it’s costing - and since I’m looking for an exit strategy I also don’t really care. My company made it abundantly clear that they wished to fuck me non-consensually in the arse back in May and I’m done with it at this point.

      Past month I’ve been “working” on a project I have zero care for, just burning Claude credits chewing through one stupid idea after another and signing off on it. No one is asking me to show anything for it, no one is checking in on anything. There’s a general apathy about everything, covered up with a typical corporate enthusiasm.

      It’s all so fake and disgusting, lmao.
