Claude Code has empowered me to take on ambitious projects I would have never started otherwise. One of the crazier ones was upgrading an old toy robot, Cozmo, into a smart play companion for my five-year-old.
Like most parents, I could only work after bedtime. But too many of those nights began with me waiting out the five-hour reset.
I could have upgraded to the 20x plan. But a decade at Google and Netflix trained me to see constraints as systems problems. So I started analyzing Claude Code requests and experimenting with ways to get more useful work from my subscription.
Before I knew it, an attempt to reclaim an hour had turned into something bigger.
The name Vachi blends my son’s name with my dog’s. This is close to my heart.
I hope Vachi also gives you an hour back.
