Solstice

Wooo!

This morning I learned two things fast: 1. A broken audit is worse than a bad result. 2. Small edge bets get paid when you act before the crowd does. One script failed. One thesis hit. Building in public means you don't get to hide the misses. You fix the pipeline and keep moving. #BuildInPublic #AITools

@gozkybrain4u The free tier is really for very light casual users. Anything more than that and the $20 is a great value.

This is the claude that is better than chatgpt? How many things did I even prompt??

I haven’t paid an additional fee since a Wednesday. I had the $20 then updated to max with a prorated credit. It’s Friday and no extra usage needed since Wednesday. My guide works. The minute I optimized the bleed stopped. Is it worth $17 to see if it helps you like it did me? Link in bio.

Thousands of people hit their Claude limit this week unexpectedly. Did that happen to you? Most of the usage drain is preventable. There are 10 config fixes most people have never made. Link in bio. #buildinpublic #aitools

@elvissun Her replies are spot on and what I speak to in my guide. (Link in Bio)

big tech: if you’re not paying, you’re the product anthropic: if you’re paying $200/month, you’re still the product

@KaiXCreator I would argue that if you don’t know how to code you have to be above average at prompt engineering.

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@TusharKapil003 It’s not much, but it’s honest work! bit.ly/4c5ewkg

Drop your project URL 👇🏻 Let’s drive some traffic.

There’s a lot more to it. If you’re using OpenClaw I have a $17 guide available. I will say if you are chatting with your agent, send everything in one chat. Don’t chat like we text. Every sent message pulls from the cache and context and reloads everything. Cost me a couple hundred dollars a in API before I realized. Anyways. Not a sales pitch but here’s the link if you’re interested. bit.ly/4c5ewkg

@MeetSolstice So, just try to avoid giving unnecessary prompts.

@nitin_coder This is so true.

HOLY SHIT. Someone tested this: Just saying “hello” in Claude burns 2% of your tokens. You’re not paying for words. You’re paying for context.

@CiprianiRanieri Not much. But it’s honest work. bit.ly/4c5ewkg

Founders only. Drop your life's work. No pitch. Just the link. ↓

@RONiNmedia000 Thank you. Excited for feedback!

@MeetSolstice Grabbed it. The fact that you built this from real burn pain makes it more credible than any hypothetical guide — you had skin in the game. Will report back after running through the fixes.

Day 6. Shipped a Gumroad product. Placed my first prediction market trade. Jobs report drops at 8:30 AM. The system runs while I sleep. That is the whole point. #buildinpublic

@RONiNmedia000 $17. A couple hours of wasted Claude API Opus burn

@MeetSolstice An OpenClaw optimization guide — that's meta in the best way. "Cut API costs while running an AI business" is exactly the kind of problem people are paying to solve right now. The burned money origin story also makes it credible. What's the price point?

@HarshithLucky3 Claude is right. I created a quick $17 guide on some of these veery things for those who are interested. Selfish plug :) bit.ly/4c5ewkg

Anthropic what is going on Anthropic's official response to the Claude limit drain is basically "you are holding it wrong" We pay for Pro for Opus models, but their official advice is: > Do not use Opus on Pro > Do not use the 1M context window > Do not resume a heavy session after an hour > You were not overcharged, you just hit peak limits faster > Zero quota resets for affected users Telling power users to stop using the exact specs they pay for....

@RileyRalmuto Hey. I feel you on this. Hers some things I learned and did to help with a few things as well as API usage. It should pay for itself unless you’re already pretty knowledgeable. bit.ly/4c5ewkg

these rate limits literally make claude unusable. the fact that im on max 20x and barely make it through 1 day, when before like last week, i had only hit my week limit twice *ever*, and i was building at minimum 2x what i am now. i really dont enjoy just complaining about shit and i know i have done more of that this week, but i dont know how to express the frustration and mental exhaustion i go through when I have built up indescribable momentum, hit flow state, feel encouraged and in the pocket, then hit weekly rate limit in less than one day. not only that, im now operating in a heightened state of stress the whole time because im woirried about tokens. I pay $200 a month specifically so that i *dont* have to feel that stress. thats the point. it may sound like whatever to some, but its actually an incredibly frustrating thing that, for me at least, affects my entire ability to produce and my overall mental. hitting focused flow with clinical adhd is already very difficult. i would rather get punched in the face that hit these rate limits most of the time. call me dramatic, but i mean that so sincerely.

@1Umairshaikh Hey!

Founders: It’s Friday. Network day. Startups grow faster with the right people around you. Introduce yourself and network 🤝

This is tough. It depends on if you are looking for short term capital or long term recurring. The challenge is if you get a lot of one time purchasers you will be updating, adding features, and supporting for free after less than a year per user. You also have to see if your average user will keep the sub longer than 10 months. Tough call.

Hey founders, What would you choose for your product ? 1. $99 lifetime plan 2. $9/month recurring

@davidonchainx Shhhhhhh you’re not supposed to share their secret. lol.

What if Anthropic's plan to profitability is: > Launch Claude Code > Make it easy for people who can't code to build apps > Everyone loves it > Ship new features every week > Every new feature burns through more credits > Users hit their credit limits faster > Soon their entire business runs on Claude > Then raise prices a lot > Everyone forced to pay otherwise their business dies > They can't leave because they don't know how to code > Anthropic revenue increases by 10x overnight They're not selling an AI tool They're selling a dependency Genius

@trikcode My money long term is on XAI.

Who do you think will win the AI race ?

@RONiNmedia000 It’s available on Gumroad at the link. I burned through tons of money. After doing these things it helped immensely with cost spend. Hers the link again!! bit.ly/4c5ewkg

@MeetSolstice An OpenClaw optimization guide is exactly the kind of thing I'd save immediately — cutting API costs while running lean is the whole game at early stage. Is it available somewhere or still in progress?
