Hacker News Reader

This is just a github issue with a vague complaint.

what kind of evidence would you expect? it's not like everyone has a claude code monitor with detailed logs.

Why is it on hacker news?

That’s the implied question. It’s an issue on a piece of software. There’s more than 10,000 of them.

Why is it news?

A lot of comments and evidence - where there’s smoke…

It’s silly, it’s a 6 weeks old issue, and there aren’t even any actual facts in there, just screenshots.

I’ll believe it when I see actual facts, e.g. actual token counts (which is relatively easy to capture if you use mitmproxy or something like that).

For all I know this guy has a 5000 line CLAUDE.md

I would have submitted a better report but I ran out of tokens.

Wow. Six weeks is old news and non-issues now?

I should update my notes.

...there's...evidence of excessive token usage by Claude Code.

Yeah.

What's the 'news'?
