Anthropic Tightened the Limits and Called It a Feature

New blog posts have been thin on the ground here lately. The BuchhalterPython series has stalled. Both of those things have the same cause: Anthropic quietly made Claude Pro nearly useless for me, then told me that was the plan. What I Actually Use Claude Pro. €20 a month. Sonnet 4.6 only. No Opus. No 1M context sessions. I am the most basic paying customer they have. In February I started using the paid plan. I had no illusions — €20 is not a lot of money. Hitting session limits when working across three projects at once was expected. But I could work for three to four hours before a limit kicked in. That was enough to get real things done.

Lernreise 6/7: What AI Actually Can (and Cannot) Do

I want to write this post carefully, because the nuance matters and most things written about AI productivity are not careful. The AI tools I used this week were remarkable and frustrating in roughly equal measure, at different times, for different reasons. Both things are true. Neither cancels the other. Start with the remarkable. The wiki documentation was worth the experiment on its own. Every piece of infrastructure I provisioned, every workflow component I built, ended up documented in the Gitea wiki in language that a human could read and learn from. Not command logs. Actual explanations: what was built, why this approach was chosen, what to watch out for. This is documentation that would never have existed if I had done the work alone, because I am the kind of person who documents things enthusiastically on day one and then never again.
