I spent $5,000 on API tokens — here's what I built with AI

$5,000 in AI Credits: A System Inventory In one month, spending roughly $5,000 on AI subscriptions and APIs (Claude Pro + Claude API + OpenAI API + Copilot Pro+ + Codex + Paseo + miscellaneous), I built out 18 major systems independently, with a total codebase of roughly 50,000+ lines of code (excluding auto-generated AI scripts). For comparison: the same functionality, developed from scratch by 2 full-stack engineers, would conservatively take 6-12 months and cost at least ¥300,000-600,000. ...

Use Claude Code to add intelligent monitoring to Pionex robots: edge alerts + Telegram push notifications.

⚠️ Registration Threshold: Pionex doesn’t support KYC for mainland China ID cards. You’ll need a valid ID from Taiwan / Singapore / Malaysia / United States, etc. See Pionex Restricted Regions Official Notice. After running the Pionex grid bot for 4 months, the biggest pain point was no alert when price hits the range boundaries.

Claude Code long session stuck at dimension limit? Bug caused by accumulated screenshots bursting the API, and a rescue solution set.

How to Rescue Claude Code Sessions Stuck on Image Dimension Limits Recently I hit a confusing error in Claude Code: An image in the conversation exceeds the dimension limit for many-image requests (2000px).

This is a cumulative bug with counterintuitive trigger conditions, root causes, and fixes. Once you hit it, you keep hitting it. This post explains the rules, the mechanics, and ready-to-use tooling to fix it. ...
