Ship Frontends at Warp Speed with Claude Code + the Max Plan
Claude Code just became part of the Max plan, and it feels like strapping a rocket to our React stack. Boilerplate melts away, tests write themselves, and Decentri.fi ships features twice as fast—all in public.
Claude Code just became a built‑in perk of Anthropic’s Max plan—no more separate billing, no more juggling usage caps. According to the official support doc, once you’re on Max you install with a quick pip install claude-code, authenticate, and the same generous token pool now powers both chat and terminal sessions.

What Claude Code Actually Does
Think of it as an AI teammate parked in your shell:
- Reads huge repos without choking
- Generates or refactors entire files on request
- Writes tests and runs them live
- Executes shell commands while narrating every step
Those superpowers sit on top of the long‑context Claude 3 Sonnet family, announced in February’s release post. (Home)
Why the Max Plan Matters
Before April you had to buy Claude Code capacity piecemeal. Now Max tiers (5× or 20× Pro) bundle it, so heavy coding sessions no longer burn through a separate quota. One subscription, one limit—that’s it.
Does It Really 10× Your Output?
Big‑tech numbers back up the gut feeling:
- Satya Nadella says AI already writes 30 % of Microsoft’s new code (PCWorld) (PCWorld)
- Google pegs the figure north of that, and Meta expects half its Llama work to be AI‑generated within a year (Business Insider paywall) (Business Insider)
Even independent surveys put the average speed‑up between 45 % and 2× for everyday teams (Medium roundup). (Medium)
Our Claude‑Powered Sprint on Decentri.fi
Decentri.fi is an open‑source DeFi aggregation API that surfaces token balances, yield markets, and NFT positions across multiple chains. All code lives at github.com/Qkyrie/decentrifi.
Since flipping the Max switch we let Claude Code:
- Scaffold Html, CSS, Thymeleaf components. Effectively One-Shotting entire dashboards
- Setup an entire terraform k8s environments.
- Help improve speeds by suggesting changes to low level code
Follow the Public Build
We build in the open: every issue, milestone, and weekly changelog is public. Star the repo, open an issue, or just lurk and watch Claude Code land commit after commit.
🚀 Built a week of UI in a day. Claude Code just joined the Max plan and our Decentri.fi front‑end is shipping at warp speed. Details + numbers on the blog: kotlincraft.dev/articles/claude-code-max-plan. #dev #AI #D
