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, 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...
Hey Reader, It's May 2026. People keep asking what I'm actually using to ship apps right now. Not what's trending on X. Not what some sponsored influencer says. What's in MY toolkit, every single day. So here's the full stack. Steal it. Cursor is the cleanest coder out there. The v3 release is genuinely insane. Best AI coding tool I've ever used. Best overall design and UX. But my Cursor usage exceeds $2-3k/mo and it's not cheap. In fact, the last 30 days were particularly heavy... I use it...
Hey there, One month. $3,234.96. Every major AI model tested to death. Here's what the receipts actually say. I ran ~3.52 BILLION tokens through these things. Not a typo. And the results surprised even me. The full damage. It was an expensive month, because I actually built something. Anthropic: $1,860.69 • 66%OpenAI: $853.70 • 30%Other: $95.57 • 4% And that was just Cursor, excluding my Codex ($200) and Claude Code ($225) subscriptions. Both of which I've spent 287.8M and 599.6M - an...
