It's useful for things where it just needs to get through to completion. Long running tasks. I walk away and expect it to be done without pausing for input.

On Claude if you start with that, it won't stop until it achieves or exhausts your prompt. It feels like "here's your mission, go do it". I use it a few times a week.

I'm impressed with the general public. I thought these guys would get away with their hype train. Nice surprise.

Don't get me wrong, I love Claude code and there is some loyalty I feel. But just can't justify staying if costs 2x.

What are the costs to get equivalent work done compared to the Claude code max 20x sub?

Yeah I'm getting fed up with this dance. Especially when I'm trying to max out credits over a weekend.

Exactly. We are all on Claude where I work but as soon as the costs rise we are migrating. Changing to a new coding agent stack feels like it will be about as much effort as migrating to a new keyboard. Gross or painful for about a week or two.

It's the euv machines that are the bottleneck. Pretty hard to ramp those up any faster in the next few years.

If you are running multiple agents your cost to them should be multiples less what their roi is.

Kind of crazy actually. Other models are catching up fast, they all can find the vulnerabilities in our (and by our I mean everyone's) underlying infra very fast. It takes a very long time to fix, review, and finally deploy these fixes. There really isn't much time left.
