> I get being naturally bummed by this but I can't justify feeling anything but vaguely nostalgic about it. Someone with a $20 subscription can mog anything I can build with the skills I picked up.

Welcome to the data science job market of the 2015-2023 where everybody with a $20 online course could become a proficient data scientist in only 4 weeks!

Reading all these comments, I feel like US universities are a joke.

I had to do all the exams in person. 100% of the grade was decided at the exam. Millions of people graduated this way and they are fine. No students were harmed in the process.

Ask HN: Claude Code Phantom Usage

randoments — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:21:54 +0000

Hello,

It has been a few days that when I start working in the morning, claude code shows that I have already used around 20% my current session quota, despite not using it at all during the night (or at least for 8 hours).

Is that going on for you too? Do you have any idea on why this is happening?

I am impressed, i might give it a try. The prices for generation of images and videos scared me a little bit. I thought they were much cheaper

I agree with that. I can get away with it now because I dont have any staff yet and also i dont have the budget to hire any.

I get to “indulge” in the tech now because the developers that was hired to develop the MVP has been doing a terrible job.

I know once the product is in a better place i will need to shift my attention elsewhere and not go back to what feels “comfortable”.

I had a thinkpad x1 carbon. Amazing machine, i liked how sturdy and lightweight it was. Plus, i loved playing with the trackpad cap during boring meetings.

Only downside was the cooling: the fan was constantly spinning and producing noise akin to a plane taking off.

Hello all, I think this is my first submission on HN.

I have been recently started my journey as a startup CEO. I have always worked more on the technical side and I consider this a big jump in my career.

This piece revolves around my feelings and fears in how to tackle impossible requests from the Board and managing low performing dev.

Enjoy
