Claude Code&rsquo;s free-tier generosity let me sprint hard, but I still hit the usage limit. I went to a conference that morning, and the whole time one thought kept looping in my head:</p> <p><strong>How much time have I spent copy-pasting?</strong></p> <p>JTAG call stack, SWD register dumps, Serial Console logs — paste a chunk over, AI gives a suggestion, I tweak the code, rebuild, flash, grab the logs, paste them back. Over and over. Sometimes I paste into the wrong window. Sometimes I miss the critical three lines.</p>
