Ask HN: I only use 30% of my Claude max x5 all model quota

I only use it for my ruby on rails app, I wonder why u all keep complaining about opus token usage, is it just means that I use AI/LLM wrong, any tips for that?

My take is that if you use it for supervized coding then max5 is more than enough.

It becomes a bottleneck when using agents that spawns to tackle larger tasks and do random trial and errors to correct itself autonomously.

As a dev, understanding the code is a vital part of my job, hence I cannot let agents write more than I can review (and not only review, but fully understand). So I'm also not benefiting from x100 coding speed, but I'm not losing control either.

yeah wish we have something cheaper than x5
