<p>Did you modify the Plus plans usage recently or as part of this introduction?

<p>> “Earendil is a venture-backed for-profit, public benefit corporation” - Ronacher<p>The author favors the “public benefit” part, but less so the “venture-backed for-profit” part, is my speculation. Likely the reason for the disapproval of the finance types and the title “I’ve sold out”.</p>

<p>Their web site left me with a bad taste. I want to like them but… No front page pricing. Popups obscuring screen, with no options I agree with. Standard safari shows blank page for products. Cute images that overwhelm content. How many sign up for free prompts are enough?</p>

<p>I suggest that AI doesn’t currently deliver what is really required of good software for public use. That is understood by more experienced programmers, but not by those with less experience and management.<p>It should be Useful, Accurate, Consistent, Available and Usable.<p>Doesn’t AI just largely help quickly deliver Available and (to some degree) Usable?</p>

<p>> Next I'm going to set it loose on 263 GB database of every stock quote and options trade in the past 4 years. I bet it achieves successful trading strategies.<p>I bet it doesn't achieve a single successful (long term) trading strategy for FUTURE trades. Easy to derive a successful trading strategy on historical data, but so naive to think that such a strategy will continue to be successful in the long term into the future.<p>If you do, come back to me and I’ll will give you one million USD to use it - I kid you not. Only condition is your successful future trading strategy must solely be based on historical data.</p>

<p>There is an alternative to describing the (subjective) “process”. That is to describe a model of the sandwich - the parts and how they can collaborate. The issue is that how to do that is forgotten and unfashionable.</p>

<p>This perhaps reflects the general divide in viewpoints on “vibe-coding”. Do you let go of everything (including understanding) and let it rip, or require control and standards to some degree. Current coding agents seem to promote the former. The only way with their approach, is to provide them with constraints?</p>
