Reddit dev: Sonnet and Haiku are enough for Claude Code, never hit weekly limits
VinceEagle · reddit · 2026-09-19
A Reddit developer doing web apps and DevOps says the community complaints about the latest Opus models don't match his experience: he gets everything done with Sonnet and Haiku in Claude Code, is happy with output and test coverage, and has never hit a weekly usage limit.
His approach: work from a Kanban board, one feature or defect at a time with sign-off so requirements are clear upfront, and use other models to review Claude's output. He asks whether others are also getting by without bleeding-edge models.
