yeah claude is great... but only if you pay $100-$200 a month

Many people buy two separate Claude pro subscriptions and that makes the limit become a non-issue. It works surprisingly well when you tend to hit the 5 hourly limit after a few hours, and hit the weekly limit after 4-5 days. $40 vs $100 is significant for a lot of people.

Thanks for the tip, didn’t think of using 2 subscriptions at the same company.

When reaching a limits, I switch to GLM 4.7 as part of a subscription GLM Coding Lite offered end 2025 $28/year. Also use it for compaction and the like to save tokens.


To be honest it feels very worth my $200/mo. And I “only” make $80k/year. I used to have two ChatGPT subs but Claude is just so much better.

Yeah a trend that I've noticed in online comments is people taking LLM generated text and just removing punctuation and making it all lowercase. It's like dude, it's still so obvious xD

> Your objective has explicit instruction that car has to be present for a wash.

Which is exactly how you're supposed to prompt an LLM, is the fact that giving a vague prompt gives poor results really suprising?


In this case, with such a simple task, why even bother to prompt it?

The whole idea of this question is to show that pretty often implicit assumptions are not discovered by the LLM.


not to mention the OP mentioned 22 LTS which isn't even the most current LTS


Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should!


I feel so attacked right now


the $10 plan makes a great backup to claude or codex and the inline completions are nice


I think there's some middle ground possible between those two black and white groupings


yeah I actually use AI a lot, but copilot is... useless. When microsoft adds copilot to their various apps they don't seem to put any thought/effort behind it beyond sticking a copilot button somewhere.

And if the copilot button does nothing but open a chat window without any real integration with the app, what the hell is the point of that when there's already a copilot button in the windows taskbar?


You have overestimated the intelligence of the target audience :)


> there is pressure to ship crappy code

this is true with or without AI


Yes but now there is so much more volume of code created in the same amount of time.
