Had a very weird experience with Claude Code yesterday. Tried to convert a simple phtml table page with very old php into a new div layout. It didn't work and burned through 4 dollars. Perhaps a WSL issue but I hope that doesn't happen more.

Claude Code has something of a steep learning curve. Sessions should involve a fairly lengthy back and forth discussing requirements and encouraging the model to ask clarifying questions.

Even then, this can happen from time to time. It's important to remember that you're using an extremely expensive tool which, despite what YouTubers and bloggers say, isn't magic.
