Development Experience

Session limit reached ∙ resets 10am Why? I haven’t even used it that much today. A cold message appears on the screen. “Session limit reached.” Like the despair of being told “cash only” at a convenience store at midnight. Resets at 10am. Still several dozen minutes away. These few dozen minutes feel like eternity. Today, the AI is receiving sanctions Honestly, problems won’t get solved without my intervention. Some days are like that. I get it. AI isn’t perfect. Humans aren’t perfect. We’re all imperfect. ...

October 10th, Something’s Off I opened Claude Code after a while. In July I decided “I won’t rely on AI anymore,” vented anger in August, and distanced myself somewhat after that. Writing myself is faster, doesn’t cause irritation, and better for mental health. That’s what I thought. But in October, I thought, maybe I’ll try again. I’m paying $100 monthly anyway. Might as well use it. With such light feelings, I gave instructions to AI-san after a long time. ...

August Came, But Days Unchanged August arrived. But the subtle distance I’d been feeling since late July hadn’t changed at all. Development continues. But I keep alternating between relying on AI and building from scratch myself. That kind of atmosphere persists. Sometimes, relying on AI works well. So I keep groping around for those moments. If anything, I’ve started to see some methods. In short, it’s troublesome. If I design things to some extent before implementation, it embeds them nicely. If I define the structure to some extent and leave the implementation to it, cases of success have increased. ...

Discovered by Paying $100 a Month I continue using Claude Code. I was using the PRO version (monthly $20), but the usage limit started coming frequently. “I want to use more…” I took the plunge and switched to the MAX version. Monthly $100. That’s 5 times more. It became top-class spending among my subscriptions. “With this much payment, development should progress smoothly now!” There was a time when I thought that way. ...

Experiment Begin: The No-Code-Touch Constraint Play I’m currently rebuilding my tool suite in conjunction with the recent site renewal. These were originally self-made tools, but this time I decided to deliberately reconstruct them using an AI-driven approach. The reason is simple and clear: “The UI will be more refined than what I prepared myself.” I used Claude Code as the generative AI. And here’s the rule I imposed on myself: ...
