gm,

has anyone started using Claude 3.7 for coding already? For me it is yet another productivity gain, which is quite insane because my productivity as a coder has just been going up and up and up...

I have used it yesterday to show @pugson how it can create 10 clickable prototypes in 2 minutes, and it was amazing. It even created one UI idea that none of us have seen before. And followed our brand guidelines I sent him, without any extra prompting.

I have an impression that they're heavily focused on coding at Claude (which makes sense from a business POV), because their writing abilities are IMO less impressive.

Nice, how much does it cost?

Claude is pretty expensive to use with the API. On average I spend 15 USD a day to code

There is a lot of negative sentiment around cryptocurrencies at the moment, especially when they are seen as a tool for app builders to solve users’ problems. However, one aspect of crypto apps that may be underestimated in terms of market positioning is that they are not reliant on secrets, whereas much of the incumbent software relies on them.

LLMs fundamentally reduce the usefulness of secrets. To achieve a productivity gain, users must input secrets into the model’s context, which means these secrets are likely passed to LLM providers. Over time, the providers could use this information for their own benefit, undermining the value of proprietary code.

This makes an open-source ecosystem particularly strong. Anyone can start coding on a shared codebase using any LLM they choose, without violating secrecy or proprietary constraints. As a result, crypto apps can now mature much faster than closed-source applications, and their monetization is not dependent on the fragility of secrets embedded in code.
