Microsoft, has started canceling Claude Code licenses, per the Verge

Follow-up to my W26 post a few months back. Ran the same Claude pipeline on the YC Spring 26 (X26) batch. Same setup: for each company, Claude scrapes founder LinkedIn profiles, searches for press and traction signals, and checks the product to see if something real exists or it's just a landing page. Then it scores on founder credibility, product reality, market opportunity, and competition, and assigns a tier from S to D. Demo Day is June 16, so the batch is mid-flight and rankings will keep shifting as more companies launch. Most are B or C tier, which feels about right for this stage. ...

Uber president Andrew Macdonald (pictured) says its “hard to draw a line” between AI spending and deliverable features. | Photo: Zed Jameson/Bloomberg via Getty Images After reportedly exhausting its annual AI budget just four months into 2026, Uber is now questioning whether it's actually seeing meaningful returns on its investments. In an interview with Rapid Response, Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald said the company isn't seeing a connection between rising token consumption for Claude Code and more useful features being delivered to consumers. "That link is not ...

Hello, I'm on Windows having setup both Claude Code App and Terminal, but I find the App simply more convenient to use. I have had several people pushing me to use the Terminal saying "the App is low" and "Terminal is so much better" ... but when I inquired none of those people could actually name a single thing that the App would be missing (everything they mentioned the App has as well) or a single concrete reason why I should switch to Terminal beside vague phrases So is the terminal substantially better than the App in something, are there reasons to switch besides being used to it and p...

The original post was removed by Reddit Filters, so I made new one with same content. I just got my results back today and managed to snag the Early Adopter badge as well. Following up on my recent DP-600 certification, I really wanted to validate my architecture skills specifically on the Anthropic side. The exam covers a lot of practical ground on prompt engineering for tool use, managing context windows efficiently, and handling Human-in-the-Loop workflows.

I noticed that Claude Code was giving me a lot of unsolicited caveats with phrasing like "honest caveat" or "genuine caveat" when this kind of hedging was absolutely unnecessary. I figured other people might be seeing the same thing so my instinct was to use Google Ngram but the cutoff year of 2022 meant that I had to use a different method. So I used Google search with quotes around the phrase "honest caveat" and set the time bound to different time intervals and compared the number of search results as a proxy for how usage has changed over time in indexed pages. As it turns out, while del...

I see in non coding related chats claude is always guided by the memory file and its responses are shaped by it. I feel like if you had a really solid memory file you could make a lot more progress with life related things and other discussions with claude. Anyone explored this?

Claude inserted an injection prompt at the end of its message out of the blue, and i have repeatedly asked where it got it from or why it inserted this message, but Claude keeps denying it ever did it, no matter how many screenshots or replies i use or whatever i do, Claude just purely denies it and it went as far as saying there could be a physical sticker on my screen but wont accept saying this I am a uni student studying for an exam in 2 days, and I'm 19, so I don't understand

Hi everyone, I set up a Claude Project a few weeks ago, but the status indicator in the top right corner has never changed from "Indexing" and still shows that little black dot. Does this status ever clear up once processing finishes? Also, my larger PDFs aren't showing visual thumbnails like the smaller files do. The cards just show the total number of lines in the text. Does this indicate a processing failure, and would splitting these large documents into smaller files help clear the indexing queue? Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Reddit user shares personal anecdote about health impacts from intensive Claude use and wellness practices adopted.

Developer shares prompt-based skills to make Claude challenge product ideas rather than automatically validate them via custom instructions.

Found a really clean Claude Code use case that's not coding-coding. Remotion (React for video) means motion graphics are JSX components. So I describe what I want in plain English, Claude Code writes the component, I render. Lower thirds, intros, overlays, all reusable across videos. Iterations are seconds instead of the typical "drag clips around in CapCut for an hour" loop. Visual style is finally consistent across my channel because the components are shared. 13 min walkthrough on my channel, link in comments to avoid spam vibes.

User shares a system prompt technique using Office quote to reduce Claude verbosity and context overhead.

I tested Claude Opus 4.7 and Kimi K2.6 on the same coding agent task i.e. build an AI Fix Runner that takes a broken repo, runs its tests, identifies the failure, applies a patch, reruns the test, and exposes the final diff/logs through an API and UI. The goal was not to benchmark syntax completion or simple repo edits. I wanted to test model behavior on a less familiar integration path: shifting execution from local processes into remote sandboxes. I used Tensorlake specifically because the sandbox API is newer and integration-heavy. This made the test more about whether the model could re...

For anyone using Claude Code, codeMeter is a small WiFi desk display that keeps your usage visible while you work. It shows your 5 hour usage, weekly usage, reset countdowns, and color warnings as you get closer to your limits. No laptop app or browser tab needed once it is set up. Just plug it in, connect to WiFi, and keep building. If anyone is interested in building one , reach out, I am happy to share the source for free. Finished models are for sale at [Encinitas3D.com](https://encinitas3d.com/product/codemeter-a-desk-display-for-your-claude-code-usage/?utm_campaign=reddit-organic)

I had connected my account to github, after that there were few unauthorized transactions on my card from claude. I am a Max user since almost a year, and there were about 800 dollars worth of giftcards generated from my claude account. I had sumbitted several support tickets through Fin AI. But no response back for days. After that i disconnected my github connector, turned off my credit card from claude, changed my password, and things went back to normal. I had also submitted a claim at my bank, i think after that today my claude account is suspended with an email notifying me that its b...

Reddit discussion of practical Claude use cases: user built HTML ROI calculator for client presentations, seeking other regular applications.

I hate recording demo videos, so I made an open source skill for it: [https://github.com/MobAI-App/desktop-recorder-skill](https://github.com/MobAI-App/desktop-recorder-skill) Now I can give Claude a prompt like: Record a short demo of this app flow And it handles the annoying parts for me: preparing the app state, clicking through the flow, recording, adding cursor/click effects and captions, then exporting the video. So instead of spending time setting everything up and recording the same demo manually, I can let Claude do it while I work on something else. It also has Remotion integr...

I mainly use Claude Code; I either ask technical questions or simply complete my daily coding tasks, and that is all. The only reason I can think of is that I’ve recently been working on a complex project that requires running up over $100 worth of tokens every single day—so per...
