How to optimise token usage in Claude Code without burning through your subscription

I've been using AI coding tools daily for quite a few months now. I started with Claude Code and the Max subscription for client work with Drupal, then I switched to OpenCode because it let you connect cheaper models and gave you more control over spending, and when Anthropic cut...

A while back I wrote an article explaining how I had a system set up to work with OpenCode inside DDEV containers on my Drupal projects. Several people reached out asking if I could share it. I couldn't. It had client data in it, tasks specific to particular projects, references...

The IKEA effect and the market for lemons applied to vibe coding

I've written a handful of articles about vibe coding from different angles. Why it's not the solution it looks like, why something working doesn't mean it's well built, how my hourly billing model is starting to fall apart. Rereading them, I realized I keep circling the same topic without putting...

For years, a recurring part of my work has been auditing Drupal projects. Slow websites land on my desk, sites with security issues nobody has reviewed in months, projects inherited from another agency where nobody really knows what state things are in. The common thread is almost always the same...

Claude Code's source code leaked: the problem isn't the leak, it's what comes after

By now you've heard. On March 31, 2026, Anthropic screwed up. A routine Claude Code update on npm included a source map file that pointed to a zip containing the product's entire source code. 512,000 lines of TypeScript, 1,906 files. All out in the open. I'm not going to rehash...

I've been going back and forth on this for weeks and I don't have a clear answer. I'm putting it in writing to see if organizing my thoughts helps me find something, or at least to see if someone in the same situation can tell me how they're handling it...

OpenCode + DDEV: how I built a Drupal development environment with 16 AI agents

I've been working with AI development tools for months now. I've tried Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and several others I don't even remember. They all have the same problem: either you're locked into a single provider, or agent customization is limited. So I decided to build my own setup. What...

After working with artificial intelligence on my Drupal projects for over a year and refining my processes, I've arrived at what I believe are the percentages that define my current way of working: 20-60-20. Twenty percent human planning, sixty percent AI execution, twenty percent final review. This has allowed me...

I've been reading for months, if not years, about whether AI is going to take our jobs as developers. Every week there's a new article with a radically optimistic or catastrophist take, and the truth, as usual, lies somewhere in between. I recently read two articles that represent both sides...

Lately I've been observing my own search behavior, and what I see concerns me. My use of Google has dropped dramatically in recent months. If before I used it constantly for any technical or professional question, now I limit it to very specific cases and almost always end up on...
