You can achieve a lot on the $30 plan.

I use Claude every day for everything, it's amazing value for money.

Give it a specific task with the context it needs, that's what I find works well, then iterate from there. I just copy paste, nothing fancy.

You just copy paste as in you copy paste all the necessary context and the results. You don't give it access to your codebase for read or write, correct?

I'm sure you can derive some benefit without doing that, but you're not going to see much of a speedup if you're still copy/pasting and manually prompting after each change. If anybody is copy/pasting and saying "I don't get it", yeah you don't.

[LouisSayers]

Exactly, copy paste related code and files. Give it some background ontext on what it is you're doing and then tell it what you'd like it to do.

What do you mean by copy paste? I use copy paste in non-agentic workflows.

[LouisSayers]

Yeah, copy paste for non-agentic workflows. I'm keeping things extremely simple.
