The school year, across the US used to be labor day to Memorial Day. No longer the case. My step daughter’s former district started at the beginning of August, her freshman year of college last weekend.
At least here in the states, districts because they pay teachers shit, are getting pushback to add required meetings and learning on the end of the day. Instead there are “short days” for the kids.
It’s no longer an issue for me, but seriously annoying how little k-12 are actually in school these days.

OpenAIs $20 plan has been more useful than ClaudeCode 20x max both in terms of price and performance.
I was dealing with something around authz/n with Claude code running Fable. It chewed through a couple of questions (these were implementation, not security reviews) and on one it shit it’s pants and said I can’t do that, here is Opus.
I’ve dropped my anthropic plan level, it’s just not worth it.
