$7 per 1000 searches seems steep. Don't think I will sign up to something where I have no idea if I'll make money, considering I'll also be sharing the commission with you.

As a long-time Cursor user, I just tried Claude Code for the first time two days ago and I found it:

- Burning tokens with constant incorrect command-line calls to read lines (which it eventually gets right but seemingly needs to self-correct 3+ times for most read calls)

- Writing the string "EOF" to the end of the file it's appending to with cat

- Writing "\!=" instead of "!="

- Charged me $7 to write like 23 lines (admittedly my fault since I forgot I kept "/model opus" on)

Minus the bizarre invalid characters I have to erase, the code in the final output was always correct, but definitely not impressive since I've never seen Cursor do things like that.

Otherwise, the agent behavior basically seems the same as Cursor's agent mode, to me.

I know the $7 for a single function thing would be resolved if I buy the $100/month flat fee plan, but I'm really not sure if I want to.

The Pro account is only $20/month and works with Claude Code.

Are all those formats for decompression and compression done purely client side?

What library are you using for the client side compression? Or did you make your own?

dolphenstein · 4 years ago
Yeah, it's all client side. Which is why I was able to just leave and forget about it for so long. Was hosted on an S3 bucket. There's tons of libraries out there that does client side compression/decompression. Just search through github! :-)

What is your web utility, if I may ask?

Can relate. I built a little web utility back in 2009. Did practically nothing with it (occasional updates every 2/3 years) and it slowly accumulated inbound links and google ranking. Then finally in 2019 I decided to put a bit more effort into it. Now I make my living from it! :-)

Accenture spun off of HP. Don't know what happened to AA.
dolphenstein · 5 years ago
You're thinking of Agilent. Also Accenture didn't change their name due to Enron. It happened before the scandal (so quite lucky for them!) Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting were involved in a legal tussle which required them to change their name... https://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/08/business/worldbusiness/IH...

For someone with little experience with the modern front-end development, what are the reasons to choose Vue over React or vice-versa? Are they both just different flavors of the same patterns or is there a philosophical difference in the two?
dolphenstein · 5 years ago
I like that I can embed a bit of vue code into an existing web page. Bit like old school javascript. AngularJS 1.x was like that too and the inspiration for Vue. React/Angular require a whole build process with NPM/webpack etc etc to create a SPA.
