someone on reddit just posted 11 claude things after 18 months of daily
use, and most people using claude have never touched half of them π€―
went through the whole list. these 5 are the ones that actually change how you use it π
β Custom Styles. make one called "skeptical senior engineer" that pushes back on your code instead of agreeing with everything. 3 minutes to set up. honestly the single biggest output jump there is.
β Projects. drop your context, style guide, past work in once as project knowledge. stop re-pasting the same thing into every chat. people burn 100+ hours before they figure this out.
β default to Sonnet 4.6, not Opus 4.7. it's faster and most tasks don't need Opus. save Opus for the gnarly architectural stuff. the limit complaints just stop.
β Artifacts can call the API now. you can build a working ai tool inside an artifact. people call it Claudeception. a client-brief generator that calls Sonnet from inside an html artifact, built in an hour. wild.
β subagents in Claude Code. "spin off a subagent to run the tests while i keep coding." parallel work that used to only happen in your head. almost nobody uses them.
the realest line in the whole post: generic output means a generic prompt. that's a skill issue, not a model issue.
what's the one claude thing that took you way too long to find? π
The valuation math is wild on its own. OpenAl was worth $29 billion in January 2023. Three years and five funding rounds later, it's worth 25x that. It jumped from $157 billion (October
2024) to $300 billion (March 2025) to $500 billion (October 2025) to $730 billion now.
We have raised a $110 billion round of funding from Amazon, NVIDIA, and SoftBank.
We are grateful for the support from our partners, and have a lot of work to do to bring you the tools you deserve.
@csaba_kissi True π―, but at the same time, it makes us more productive and helps us ship features faster than before.
I build a inbuilt document signing system for a client to replace @Docusign in just 2 hrs which would easily takes me a week/a month of effort
We just released πππππ-ππππ-πππππππππ, a repo for coding agents.
React performance rules and evals to catch regressions, like accidental waterfalls and growing client bundles.
How we collected them and how to install the skill β

I just killed a client's monthly DocuSign bill with 2 hours of vibe coding in @cursor_ai
The client wanted better UX,
no forced logins, no redirects, just a simple in-app signing flow,
So I replaced DocuSign with a fully built-in document signing system using @cursor_ai.
