Your Claude subscription just changed 🥲
|
Hey Reader, Anthropic just announced free monthly API credits for all Claude subscribers! 🎉 Sounds great, right? Well, let's read the fine print... The catch nobody's talking about.Starting June 15th, third-party tools like Conductor can no longer tap into your Claude subscription directly. Instead, they will now pull from those shiny new API credits. But here's the thing. If you're on the $100/month Max plan, you get $100 in API credits. Claude Opus 4.7 will chew through that in a few hours. It's like your gym handing you a free smoothie coupon while quietly removing half the equipment. The smoothie is nice. But you came here to train. What still works.If you use Claude Code or the Claude Desktop app, nothing actually changes. In fact, you get +50% limits for the next two weeks, which is nice. But if you use terminal orchestrators, like Conductor or T3 Code, you've got a month left. Your options going forward:
Anything that runs through the terminal still works. Anything that doesn't is cooked after June 15th. Quick recap.
Why this really matters.Anthropic is pushing everyone toward their own tools. Terminal. Desktop app. Their ecosystem. This isn't the first, and it won't be the last time that they're doing this. And if you use any third-party Claude tools, plan your switch now. June 15th is closer than you think. Speak soon, |

Hey Reader, I owe you an apology. For months I told you Claude Cowork was useless. Because I'm an engineer, so I just stuck to Claude Code instead. But I was wrong. What changed my mind. Last month my team and I gave it a real shot. Turns out... while we've been ignoring it, a lot has happened and it's really good. We now built and share custom dashboards right inside Cowork that used to take weeks to build. One team member said: "My beautiful Ops Command Center is the closest I've ever...
Hey Reader, People keep telling me their AI "breaks everything" and "makes weird decisions." I use the same models. Same tools. Same subscriptions. But I almost never have these problems. For the longest time, I thought I was just lucky. Then I looked at what I actually do differently. It comes down to three things. 1. A minimal AGENT․md file. Think of this like a one-page employee handbook for your AI. Mine is short. Genuinely minimal. It tells the AI to: Keep docs updated as it makes...
Hey Reader, This is not our regular scheduled programming. If you're old enough to remember the ILOVEYOU virus from 2000s, this will feel familiar. Back then, one email worm hit 10% of every computer connected to the internet. It caused $10 billion in damage. All because people clicked one email attachment. That was 26 years ago, and this week it's kinda happening again. The new virus doesn't need you to click. A group just compromised hundreds of packages across coding ecosystem. Think of...
