Quick question for the builders here Claude Cowork or Claude Code, which one actually lives in your daily workflow If it is Claude Code, I want to know how you run it too CLI, VS Code extension, or the desktop app I use Claude Code the most, mostly through CLI VS Code extension comes in when I need to see the file changes visually instead of scrolling through terminal output Curious if others are doing the same or if I am missing a better setup Drop your combo below. Genuinely trying to compare notes here

Your project grew big Now every small change means Claude Code re reads half your codebase just to remember what it already knew yesterday It is like hiring a smart assistant who forgets your entire company structure every single morning. You explain the org chart again. You explain who reports to who again. By the time they start actual work, half the day is gone That re reading is not free It is tokens and time, burned before Claude even touches your actual request The fix that is going viral right now is called Second Brain Instead of Claude re reading files every session, you build a graph of your project once Claude reads that graph instead of the raw codebase No more rediscovering the same structure again and again It shines on large, complex projects People are seeing 35 to 40 percent improvement in speed and token cost It is an open source solution, sitting at 79.7k stars on GitHub already Click here -> second brain If your project has outgrown "just read the files," this is worth 10 minutes to set up Anyone here already running a second brain setup with Claude Code? Curious what changed for you

Checking Claude usage limits used to eat more of my attention than the actual work I Open Settings then scroll to usage and then close it, forget open it again 10 minutes later Small habit. Bigger distraction than I realized I found a Chrome extension that fixes exactly this It is open source. Full install steps are right there on the GitHub repo It sits inside the Claude ai chat window itself Session limit and weekly limit, both visible while you are mid conversation No extra tab. No extra click Small tool. Saved me more focus than I expected this week If you use Claude daily, this is worth 2 minutes to set up Checkout -> Claude Usage Tracker

Anthropic just dropped Claude Fable 5 And I have been playing with it I think Fable 5 is not just an upgrade to Opus 4.8 It is a completely different tier Anthropic calls it Mythos-class, which basically means it sits above everything they have ever released publicly Complex, long tasks where Opus 4.8 would struggle or take many turns, Fable 5 just handles. Cleanly Sometimes mid-session, it silently switches to Opus 4.8 to respond Not a bug. That is intentional Fable 5 is so capable in areas like cybersecurity that Anthropic added safety classifiers on top When your query touches certain sensitive topics, it automatically hands the response to Opus 4.8 instead So Opus 4.8 is not retired It is literally the safety net behind the most powerful model they have ever shipped In practice though, over 95% of sessions never trigger that switch at all For most of what builders actually do, you are getting Fable 5 the whole time I am still testing it on my own projects but early impressions are genuinely different from anything before Have you tried it yet? What are you planning to test it on first?
