First time using Code. I know how to make google forms, and have made hundreds on my own. I’ve been using Claude for about 2-3 months now for work related documents, simple html files, etc, always on sonnet. Today I said, screw it, lemme see what the hype about code is and have it make a google form for me. I threw on Opus because I wanted to see what it could possibly do better for a simple form/excel sheet that I couldn’t do. Without doxxing myself I put the following prompt: “I need to make a list that multiple people can input ideas and requests into from multiple platforms. It should be easily accessible from a phone or computer, with a simple form to fill out: Name, shift working, demand/negotiation request, and topic, with the ability to group them by current CBA topics.” It took claude almost 7 hours, over 3 sessions blowing through my $20 “we’re sorry we burned your usage” gift, and 45% of my weekly usage for a simple google form and excel sheet that I could have made in less than 5 minutes. I’m baffled. Edit: and yes, I 100% went deep into a sunken cost fallacy with full knowledge of what I was doing. submitted by /u/helloyesthisisgod
