Plutonic Rainbows

I’ve streamlined my approach, realizing that I don’t need an editor like Windsurf or Cursor. Much of what agentic coding does is so complex that I can’t follow it — and the beauty is, I don’t need to. A command-line interface suits me perfectly. I recently purchased the new Max Plan, as it now integrates with Claude Code. API calls to Anthropic were becoming prohibitively expensive, so hopefully this monthly subscription will meet my needs.

Coding with agents is becoming expensive, and it’s surprisingly easy to accumulate high costs. To reduce token usage, I’m working on creating smaller, more specific prompts. Careful planning and a clear structure are also essential.

I created my own prompt generator, trained with OpenAI, after growing frustrated with Claude Code and Cursor misinterpreting my prompts.

I had Sonnet 3.7 generate README and CHANGELOG files for all my projects. I suppose relieving this kind of monotony is a worthwhile use of agents.

OpenAI released 4.1 today with variants — all available through their API.
