I am reading this on hnafterdark - the HN proxy in golang that renders HN in dark mode. Claude wrote it for me, including gitea actions, and deployed to my home server while I was nap-trapped by a sleeping baby. Because I wanted to read HN while nap trapped, without shedding too much light. So: yes.
I'm on the Max plan. I think it's $200 now but when I signed up it was only $100 and it never went up so I suppose I'm a lucky early adopter. Having said that, even at $200 I'd say it's completely worth it for myself because I use it quite a lot. If you plan to build lots of things or maybe very large projects I would recommend it. If you're more on the just-getting-started end of the spectrum, the $20/mo plan is perfectly fine, use a cheaper model like Opus 4.8 or 5 (or even Sonnet 5 is probably more than capable at that level). If you code a lot you will run into token limits, I used to hit the limit after an hour or two of work, then you get a message saying like "limit reached. you can continue at 4:35pm" and so you just take a break or you switch to another frontier model for an hour or two.

I've used Claude Code for many hours every day since the original Sonnet so I'd have to say.. yes?
Are you using the $20/month subscription? I don't use it much, perhaps two 20-minute sessions a day so I don't get close to using my quota.
When it works, it is a great system, but now three times in a week it wasted some of my time.

Why not use Opus 5?
