Claude Code Rate exceeded.

Leave a comment

If you are getting “Rate exceeded.” when trying to re-authorize your Claude Code instance, it is probably because Anthropic’s servers are having API/login issues: Specifically, if you haven’t been heavily using Claude and you get kicked out of Claude Code with reauthorization required… for me every time it has been server issues  on anthropic side and the eventually resolve. Still, that is small consolation if you are trying to finish up a project or get work done! Claude has been

Chuwi MiniBook X vs MacBook Neo: The $399 Laptop That Refuses to Throttle

Leave a comment

Disclosure: I purchased this Chuwi MiniBook X with my own money (~$399 from Amazon). See also: my MacBook Neo review and full Neo benchmark analysis. The $399 Laptop That Refuses to Throttle In my MacBook Neo review, I wrote that after 60 seconds of sustained CPU load, the Neo “drops to phone-class performance that a $400 Windows laptop can match.” A reader could reasonably wonder: does a $400 Windows laptop actually deliver? I had a Chuwi MiniBook X on hand

Can MacBook Neo Run Claude Code?

Leave a comment

So in updating my MacBook Neo review with some additional stress testing and thermal testing, I came across some interesting results that begged the question: “Can it run Claude?” If you’re a gamer, that probably triggers the old “Can it run Crysis?” reflex. For those who don’t remember (or weren’t there), Crysis was the 2007 PC game that became the de facto hardware torture test. If your rig could run Crysis, it could run anything. It was a rite of

Claude vs ChatGPT vs Gemini for Coding: Testing Results

Leave a comment

TL;DR: I ran the same 5 coding tasks through Claude Opus 4.6, OpenAI Codex CLI (gpt-5.3-codex), Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (sorry I did not have easy access to the newer models, but Gemma 4 was tested!), and two open-source models I ran locally: Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.5 35B. Claude’s code was the most production ready. Codex and Qwen tied for best code reviewer. Gemini was the cheapest. The open-source models scored A-, closing in on the paid tier.

Claude Code /buddy How to Preview, Hatch, and Reroll Your Terminal Pet

2 comments

TL;DR: Claude Code v2.1.89 added /buddy, a virtual pet companion in your terminal. Your buddy’s body is deterministically generated from your account, and the personality generates permanently the first time you hatch it. Preview yours first with npx any-buddy current, but install Bun before you do (if you don’t already have it) Is This an April Fools Joke? I first noticed /buddy the least trustworthy way possible, by seeing it appear in Claude Code’s slash-command autocomplete on April 1. 😜

Claude code source code analysis

Source Archive Summary and Risk Analysis via ChatGPT 5.4 Thinking: Prepared from the src/ tree only. This version intentionally omits the file-by-file appendix and instead highlights what is structurally important, surprising, or concerning.   Scope analyzed: 1,902 files total, primarily TypeScript/TSX (.ts: 1,332; .tsx: 552). Largest areas: utils/ (564), components/ (389), commands/ (207), tools/ (184), services/ (130), hooks/ (104), ink/ (96). Overall impression: this is not a simple UI application. It is a full agentic CLI/runtime with shell execution, permission

Codex CLI + Claude Code: MCP Is 4x Faster Than the Command Line

Leave a comment

TL;DR: OpenAI’s Codex CLI works best with Claude Code when you invoke it through MCP, not the command line. MCP calls return in about 3 seconds versus 13+ seconds for CLI on my dev environment, it avoids sandbox issues entirely, and keep everything inside your conversation. Here’s briefly how I set it up, tested various invocation methods, and landed on an optimized dual-AI workflow that works for my coding and research tasks. Why Codex When Claude Code Already Works?

How I Used AI to Help Research Used Cars (and Saved $5,000 Over Carvana)

Leave a comment

We recently bought a used 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD for $29,500 from a dealer in Muskogee, Oklahoma. It came loaded with heated and ventilated seats, Super Cruise, a head-up display, leather interior, and the RS sport package. The two Carvana listings we started with? $34,180 and $35,280 delivered for a much lower trim. That’s ~$5,000+ savings for a few hours research. Here is how we used Claude Code and Codex (AI coding tools from Anthropic and OpenAI) to
