I've been a hardcore claude-4-sonnet + Cursor fan for a long time, but in the last 2 months my usage went through the roof. I started with the basic Cursor subscription, then upgraded to pro, until I hit usage limits again. Then I started using my own Claude API key but I was still paying ~70$ / 5 days, which is not that sustainable for me. But since grok-code-fast-1 landed, I've been using it daily with Cursor and it's fantastic, fast and cheap (free so far). I've also been using GPT-5 lately through the official Codex VSCode extension, and it blows my mind. Last night I used gpt-5-medium to help me heavily refactor a react-native app, improved it's structure and overall performance, something that would've taken me at least 2 days. Now I'm testing out gpt-5-medium-codex, asked it to restructure the entire app routing, and it seems it makes a lot of tool calls, understands, executes commands, it's very organized. Overall my stack from now on is Cursor + grok-code-fast-1 for daily use, and Codex/GPT when I need the brainz. Worth noting that I abused gpt-5-medium all day long yesterday, and I never hit any kind of limit (I just used by ChatGPT Plus account), reason for which I thank the OpenAI team

How is this different from just using Cursor on my react-native codebase? Cursor in agent mode means: no copy paste, implements features and fixes errors iteratively, knows my codebase and adheres to existing patterns. If I need changes, I just ask Cursor and preview live app changes locally

Totally fair point, but what can you do? This is how the world works. Fighting such beasts is pointless. You might tame them with lobby money, but no billionaire is interested. And we're now talking about the human spirit that cannot be chained, as also seen in Pirate Bay or Snowden. Sure, people do need heroes and hope from time to time. But I have become less romantic over the years, and more careful.

I appreciate Kim Dotcom for running MegaUpload and later Mega, in a time when the internet was younger and wilder. Also for his pirate spirit and "stick it to the man" attitude. But everything has a limit, specifically his resistance against the law, even if he hid it behind virtues. I think it's clear for everybody that one cannot get away with this kind of stuff, once governments get involved. Isn't it wiser to stop at some point, and find other stuff to do, even if all your nerves say otherwise? But people are superficial and tend to develop an "i'm the main character" personality, pushing them into recklessness, like persisting doing certain things or publicly talking shit. Hope he and his family will be ok.
