Have a conversation with Claude, not a monologue
I maxed out my Claude 5x weekly limit in four days. The one habit I would actually push on you: make it ask you questions first.
There is one tip I would really push on you, and it comes from someone who maxed out the weekly limit on the Claude 5x plan in four days. So take it for what it is worth.
Have an actual back-and-forth conversation with Claude. Do not fire off one giant prompt and walk away hoping for the best.
Tell it to ask you questions before it writes a single line.
The moment you do that, you see how much it would have gotten wrong if you had not stopped to clarify. The assumptions it was about to make. The edge cases it never would have raised. The thing you meant but never actually said out loud.
You catch all of it up front, instead of three steps and a hundred lines of code later. That one habit saves a genuinely stupid amount of time.
So please, do that.
