Half the work of pricing a solo SaaS is modeling what a bad month looks like if egress or IOPS spike. You end up pricing defensively to protect against your own infra bill instead of pricing to the value you provide. A fixed bucket of compute with clear limits is way easier to build a business on than a meter that could run anywhere.

The over-editing cost is asymmetric when you're solo. If an agent rewrites 50 lines when you asked it to touch 5, there's no second reviewer behind you. You're the writer and the reviewer, and reviewer (you) is usually the one whose attention is already depleted. What helped me most wasn't prompting tricks but committing after every turn so I can revert cheaply and re-prompt with tighter constraints. Cheaper than auditing a 400-line diff at 11pm.

Sort of - there's Qwen3-Coder and the Codestral family, but those are still multi-language, just code-focused. For truly single-language specialization, the practical path is fine-tuning an existing base model on a narrow distribution rather than training from scratch.

The issue with C# specifically is dataset availability. Open source C# code on GitHub is a fraction of Python/JS, and Microsoft hasn't released a public corpus the way Meta has for their code models. You'd probably get further fine-tuning Qwen3-Coder (or a similar base) on your specific codebase with LoRA than waiting for a dedicated C#-only model to appear.
