Gamifying Claude Code? Why? A leaderboard of who can blow the most tokens/money? Sure, but it's trivial to make number go up. Very likely that the tool itself is vulnerable to just submitting data yourself. I find this really, really weird.

Thank you for putting my feelings into words. "Really weird" is exactly how I feel. AI output in our work should be measured in engineering progress, not in use metrics, right?

i think of straude as serving a similar role as habit trackers and github's contribution graph. some of us have a goal to use claude code daily, like how others might run or play the piano daily. it can be encouraging to do it with friends' support, see your progress visualised, etc. diff strokes for diff folks!

I get that. I do hope that this sort of thing doesn't induce artificial anxieties, where you feel like you must do something even when you don't want to or can't. It's also a really easy way to kill the fun of something and later avoid it or associate feelings of anxiety with something you used to enjoy

I am genuinely curious what you're hoping to get out of your goal to use claude code daily!

i’d say more projects that i wish existed + closing the taste gap btw the bar i have for products as a user vs. what i’m capable of creating as a builder. something like “token generated” is ofc only a proxy goal with no guarantees of quality. nevertheless it might be useful to some, like how writers set daily word count quotas for themselves

sort of what happened when that cc tool that displays total token/costs was released.

people on reddit and discord started actively competing for who had the biggest numbers when really you could effectively 'win' by making the thing spit total gibberish.

I think it's a joke

I hope it's a joke, but I'm not as sure as I'd like to be.
