“claude-sonnet-4-6 is the best coding model available. Claude Code in the terminal is my daily driver — it understands project context, runs tests, and makes clean multi-file edits without hand-holding. Computer use closes the automation gap for anything without an API.”
“Rate limits on the Max tier remain the biggest pain point. When capacity is available, it's the best model. When you're throttled mid-task, momentum dies. Extended thinking is impressive but adds latency — use it selectively.”
“Extended thinking is a different cognitive mode — watching Claude reason through hard problems in real-time lets you course-correct before it goes wrong. Anthropic's safety-first approach is becoming a competitive advantage as trust in AI systems matters more.”
“Projects turned Claude from a session tool into a persistent collaborator. I have separate projects for each client with relevant context — meeting notes, product specs, codebase summaries. The intelligence compounds with every conversation.”
