I bought Claude code max subscription for 200 bucks. I usually theory craft my applications with Grok and Claude codes it one piece at a time. The key is knowing what tools to use under the hood so you can get the desired effect. Research your favorite open source apps to see what libraries and tools they use for things under the hood and include that in your application summary. I started drivestr and ridestr about 3 weeks ago and i literally code with it 24/7 from the time I wake up til bed. It's a lot of trial and error and paying attention to what the model is saying it's doing is key to seeing where it drifts off plans and course correct it.
