...and, of course, FoxPro!
I'm curious to know if others here are using Claude AI, and if so, are you using Projects? I know some folks DID already mention that they have been using Claude. In my case - been using it for like about 2.5 months. But, all during that time - I never tried this Projects stuff. Didn't really know for sure what it was all about. Figured maybe it could Also help me, make things more efficient - when dealing with FoxPro code & doing conversions.
As such, today I went into the Projects area - and, I did some prompts - to learn more about Projects. I am going to include my prompts here - but, NOT the answers. To keep this posting shorter. But, for those using Claude but never tried out Projects - now you can learn more about it - by entering my prompts into Claude - if you so desire...
This was my 1st prompt: Good morning Claude. I have been working with you a lot doing FoxPro coding work, and converting code from VFP to C#/.Net & even implementing 3rd party code for reports like QuestPDF. But, in all instances, I have been working with you in normal chat sessions. I have seen this Project option in your UI - but, I have not used it before. Can you please inform me a bit about projects, and why Projects may be helpful for me!
This was my 1st follow-up, based upon my knowledge of Claude and using it: So, in regards to what you wrote - "Claude Projects are persistent workspaces that maintain context across multiple conversations. Unlike regular chat sessions that start fresh each time..." - and you also wrote - "Pick up exactly where you left off in previous sessions...". I want to understand things further. For instance, based upon what you wrote - Project still has multiple chat sessions - is that correct? And, based upon my Pro payment level - I will still have limitations in regards to the length of a conversation in a particular chat session, or hitting a limit if I upload program files that are too big. Am I right?
And, my final follow-up: Yes, this does indeed clarify. But, I did have a further question. At one point I heard that it was at times better to start a new session - as opposed to keep going in the same session. I understand this was the case because, supposedly, each prompt I input within a session, you - Claude - actually go all the way back thru the whole session, and the files I uploaded - in order to answer a prompt - and therefore uses up my daily tokens limit faster. Is that correct?
Anyway - that's it for now. Other than - HEY - I wish all you folks Stateside - have a Happy 4th!
